The UNC basketball coaches look to be in the hunt for one transfer big man after being included in his list of top schools.
Armando Bacot’s departure from Chapel Hill following his illustrious five-year career has left a major hole at the center position for head coach Hubert Davis and his UNC basketball program. Rising junior Jalen Washington currently appears set to take on the brunt of that role, but the Tar Heels may be close to landing a transfer big instead.
On Tuesday, On3’s Joe Tipton reported that Rutgers transfer big man Clifford Omoruyi is currently considering 12 schools, including UNC. Alabama, Baylor, Georgetown, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Kansas State, Mississippi State, Oregon, St. Johns, UCLA, and Washington also made the cut.
The 6-foot-11, 240-pound post player played his previous four seasons at Rutgers, where he started all 98 games over the last three years. This past season, Omoruyi averaged 10.4 points and 8.3 rebounds per game while also swatting nearly three shots per contest.
