CLIFFORD OMORUYI NEWS

Efficient showing in win Omoruyi closed with 10 points (5-7 FG), five rebounds and two assists in 13 minutes during Wednesday's 88-68 win over South Carolina.

Impact Omoruyi's minutes have taken a significant hit upon transferring to Alabama, as he often cedes time at center to both Aiden Sherrell and Grant Nelson. The Rutgers transfer is efficient with his opportunities, however, and he now has double-digit points in back-to-back contests for the first time since the first two games of the 2024-25 season. The more careful shot selection has led to a shooting percentage of 73.3, shattering his previous career high.

Remains quiet vs. Creighton Omoruyi amassed eight points (2-3 FG, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Saturday's 83-75 win over Creighton.

Impact Omoruyi has simply been much less assertive this season, averaging almost four less shots-per-game than he did last year. The Rutgers transfer is scoring very efficiently, shooting over 70 percent from the floor. Still, he's scored in double figures just three times and has been an inconsistent presence around the rim (averages 5.9 rebounds, 1.3 blocks).

Limited output early Omoruyi supplied six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 15 minutes during Wednesday's 100-87 victory over Illinois.

Impact Omoruyi was one of the prized transfers of the offseason, but he's been held in check though the Crimson Tide's first five games. He's scored single-digit points in three straight contests, and is only averaging 18.2 minutes. The center also hasn't been that assertive, averaging just 4.4 attempts per game. He's rebounding and blocking the ball at a solid clip, but he simply hasn't been the biggest factor offensively in Tuscaloosa.

Impact Omoruyi has an extra season of collegiate eligibility due to COVID-19 limiting the NCAA's 2020-21 campaign, his freshman year. After four seasons with Rutgers, the last being a disappointing campaign that culminated with a Big Ten Tournament loss to Maryland, he will consider offers from schools for a potential transfer. With Omoruyi, his committed team gets a traditional center with proven two-way play.
