Do we realistcally know how many teams from his list of 12 are actually realistic options? People are saying he's going to visit Georgetown and Alabama. Any buzz about other visits? Good big men are always going to command the highest NIL on average because there are so many fewer available than guards/forwards who do not need as much height. If NIL matters to Omoruyi and we have a bunch left we can use, I would hope we could compete for him. Alabama's biggest advantage, I think, is that they are coming of a really good season, and Oates is obviously a very well respected coach. But, from what I can gather, Omoruyi went to high school in northern New Jersey and now has been at Rutgers. Tuscaloosa is a very different place than the northeast, and basketball will always be second fiddle there to football. That's a battle I would hope we could win with an NIL advantage. The big factor in favor of Alabama is that if Omoruyi wants a sure-fire NCAA team, and he looks at historical performance, the odds may be better there. But, if Omoruyi comes to Georgetown, it would go a very long way to making us competitive for one of those at large slots. I still think it's a reach after last season, but if Omoruyi comes, and things fall into place with a few of the other guys, then it could happen. And if it's in any way a package deal where recruiting Seydou Traore helps you get Omoruyi, you absolutely 100% take him too. For people not aware, me being on of them... What is the connection between the 2 players? played on the same AAU team in New York

What is the connection between the 2 players? They both played for the New York Lightning AAU team. Plus, they were both born in Nigeria. There could be more connections than that. They did both go to high school in the NY/NJ area, so they likely crossed paths there too. I see some Alabama-related accounts saying Omoruyi is visiting Alabama this weekend. I see nothing about him visiting us. Does anybody have any real sources for that information? Early on, Omoruyi was supposedly going to visit St. John's, but that appears to have never happened.

Leverage that supposed NY Lightning connection to get Omoruyi too while they're at it. I am guessing this is the plan. They are visiting together.Where did you get this info from? I can't find it anywhere.

So did interesting that no program is immune to the movement. Seems like the play going forward is to get a system in place that utilizes a bunch of 6’3 to 6’9 athletic types and roll the dice on aggressiveness and hustle

Lots of rumors swirling that he is ours to lose. Let's give him a good visit and lock him down. Mack Epps Peavy Fielder / Sorber Omoruyi Cook, Mulready, Fielder/Sorber off the bench sounds pretty good. Probably need another guard / forward to step up to make us a true big east player
