Cliff Omoruyi Returns: What it means for the Scarlet Knights?

What a difference one decision can make.

If there was anytime when Rutgers could use some good news, it was after the past few weeks. On Wednesday, that good news came in the form of Cliff Omoruyi announcing that he will return to Piscataway.

Omoruyi competed at the G League Elite Camp in mid May but did not earn an invitation to the NBA Draft Combine. While this was a sign that he would not be selected in the 2023 NBA Draft, his measurable and performance at the camp seemed good enough to earn a spot in the G League or even a contract overseas if he decided to go that route.
