Basketball Eugene Omoruyi Transferring per Instagram
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
Fans on this board only have a memory span of one season, max. Like we haven’t sucked forever because rarely does a good player stick around.
I wish I could say the same. I’m upset at him, but I’ll get over it in a day or two. But you’re right, he’s doing what’s best for him and it’s hard to fault that. Just wish it would ever be in the best interest of a good player to stay and play at RU.
Let’s see how Yeboah does.
Prediction- the schools that recruited him are higher profile than then schools that will recruit EO.
Well they do need to replace that Williamson guy :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
The Spain trip couldn’t come at a better time.
Hopefully they are getting out of that silly Toronto game.

This kid is not special. He wasn't special until he got here and pikiell put his blood sweat and tears into the kid. And he rewards him with a 12 am "I'm outta here" and not spelling his name right. What an absolutely putrid kid.
It's still a positive to go there. There's a reason Washington is flying so far to participate.
Not sure there's a good way for a team captain to announce a transfer but doing it that way and badly misspelling the coach's name on the way out the door is closer to the bottom than the top.
This feeling is exactly what im feeling right now. Pathetic on his part from both a timing and respect standpoint. It is okay if he transfers just show some class. Basically spit at the school who not only took a waiver as his only P5 but shaped him into position to move onto another D1 role.
If anything, this 12 am post shows me that Eugene may have a severe drinking problem, cause he certainly would have to be drunk to think this was a good idea or look for him.
can't wait for the next great thought to come on this thread
At some point these schools have to be rethinking one and done types and look to mature players.
Omoruyi was one of Pike's first recruits. Thiam and Doorson were the last Jordan recruits (Thiam committed to Eddie, re-affirmed once Pikiell got the job)
Thanks, I wasn’t sure if he was an Eddie recruit. Thought he was based on his profile at that time.
Could be completely wrong, but maybe Gene was becoming cancerous to the team? Ron Harper jr just tweeted “ we still turning up in Piscataway” Myles Johnson put something in his Instagram story tagging Akwasi Yeboah. I’m not entirely sure but maybe spelling Pikiell wrong was a diss. I think something went down between Eugene and the team that he didn’t like.

These players will be even hungrier now. Im telling you this ultimately will have us better positioned
Here's one for you.
Omoruyi in Big Ten losses: 15.2 PPG
Omoruyi in Big Ten wins: 8.6 PPG
His contributions obviously go much deeper than PPG but that's kind of surprising, yeah?

When he was gettin his the ball often got stuck with him in the post and no one else was getting involved in the offense
and the strange happenings regarding ru athletics continues to amaze
me,,,,,indian burial ground;;;paul robesons curse;;;;james gandolfini just for the f-----k of it....hey, maybe dick vitale knows whats up .....i mean really, your senior team captain, out of the blue, decides to transfer in one of the most anticipated seasons to come along since grant took richmond.......it's really, really hard to be a follower of ru athletics...........lets compare ,bamma loses a game, and they get out the pitchforks, tar, and feathers.....we win one game, and extend the coaches contract.....it's some kind of a twisted, twilight zoneish x-files....fffinnnnn nightmare.....wow! whats next?
Grateful thanks to Eugene for his contribution here on the Banks. He came to a program that was coming off a 7-25 season with a new coach, a lot of questions and for three years he left it all out on the court. He gave Rutgers every last measure of his devotion and the program is in a better place than when he got here. Good luck to Eugene whatever his future brings him.
The program will continue to improve. The name on the front of the jersey is the only one that matters, so it's next man up and upstream Red team!

This is certainly interesting. Not surprised though a lot of his points came at the end when a game was lost.
I will miss his grit and defense for sure. He always made a play and gave a spark when it was needed. I think with our guys being older they will be prepared to make up the difference. Look for Young & Geo to be leaders imo.
Oh please..this quitter doesn't deserve one ounce of gratitude. Let the door slam him on the way out. Little prick couldn't even spell pikiells name right, let the program announce his transfer, or transfer when we could acquire an adequate replacement. He was treated like a king here even when he couldn't play and even given minutes when he wasn't at 100% that probably hurt our team. He cares about himself and he can go rot on someone's bench when his knee blows out.
He was a glue factor for a young team that needed a warrior. Hopefully they will have matured enough to ale up for the loss. Will be interesting to see why he is making this decision.
Which happened with Freeman before him as well. There needs to be a coaching philosophy shift.
If someone told me in January that Eugene and Issa would never step foot on the court in the new practice facility...
Yeah of course. That goes without staying. Doesn’t change that it’s disheartening and concerning.
If it is an academics issue, that wont be a problem at North Carolina or Kentucky.
If he does not want to be here, I say good bye and take a rubber hose with you.
No problem....just doing my best on a Wednesday....i will try and do better each and every week, to keep my opinions/facts as organized as possible.
If you need more information, I'll do my best to run it down for you....
