Chol originally committed to Howard, but ended up deciding last minute that he would instead go the Junior College route and signed on with Garden City CC, where he's now considered one of the top JUCOs in the 2025 class. Recently he had Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma State and Wichita State in to watch him play, along with LSU and Xavier reaching out as well.

After four years with the Scarlet Knights, the former Four-Star recruit Omoruyi made the decision to hit the portal and joined one of the top programs in the nation in the Alabama Crimson Tide. While some his numbers are down compared to last year, so is his usage as he's no longer the go to offensive option on his new squad. This season he's scored in double digits on seven occasions and has one double-double on the year.
