Following another solid season on the banks, Rutgers Basketball big man Cliff Omoruyi has announced that he will be entering the 2023 NBA Draft, while maintaining his college eligibility.

Omoruyi was pretty consistent this year as he was easily the team's top big man, along with being named one of the conference's best as he earned All-Big Ten second team by the media and All-Big Ten third team by both the coaches and Rivals.com.

The Benin City, Nigeria native appeared in 89 games (72 starts) in his three years on the banks. During that time span, Omoruyi made his mark on the Scarlet Knights as he has increased in every major statistical category with each passing season. This past year being his best, Omoruyi averaged a team high 13.2 points per game to go along with 9.6 rebounds per game and 2.1 blocks per game.

Now Omoruyi technically might not be done with his time in the college ranks just yet, as he hasn't signed with an agent so that means he can technically still come back to the banks for one or even two more seasons should he chose to do so.

As of now, it seems like the plan is to gain some feedback from various NBA scouts before making any decisions about his future.
