Back in April, John Calipari headed up to Roselle, NJ to check out 2020 four-star center Cliff Omoruyi. On his way out, the Kentucky head coach extended a scholarship, making the 6-foot-10, 230-pound center just the tenth prospect overall and second center to receive an offer for the class of 2020.
But Omoruyi was quite different than most of Calipari’s past offers, especially this early in the process.
Originally from Nigeria, basketball is still very new for the four-star prospect, as he had only played in his first official game roughly three years ago in 2016. While the four-star prospect is an incredibly talented rebounder and possesses a motor unlike anyone else in the class, he is still extremely raw offensively and will need time to develop before he makes a major impact at the college level.
