Makes VCU debut Bamisile totaled 11 points (4-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt) and two rebounds across 19 minutes during Saturday's 87-78 victory over Temple.

Impact Now with his fourth school in as many seasons, Bamisile was initially denied an eligibility waiver before a recent court ruling paved the way for him to play. He did come off the bench in his VCU debut, but took the second-most shots of any Rams player, suggesting he'll be a significant offensive threat in the team's current nine-man rotation.

Re-enters transfer portal Bamisile has entered the transfer portal, Mike Barber of the Richmond Times-Dispatch reports.

Impact Bamisile has entered the transfer portal for the second time in two seasons, choosing to part ways with Oklahoma after just one season with the program. The 6-foot-4 junior appeared in 21 games this season, averaging four points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.5 assists on 11.4 minutes per game.

DNP against Oklahoma State Bamisile (undisclosed) did not play during the Sooners' game Wednesday against Oklahoma State.

Impact Bamisile sat out the 2022-23 Sooners' last two games of their season, which is now likely over following a loss to Oklahoma State during the first round of the 2023 Big 12 Tournament. They are not expected to qualify for March Madness and will try to regroup next season, when Bamisile will be a senior.

DNP in regular-season finale Bamisile (undisclosed) did not appear in Saturday's 74-60 win over TCU.

Impact Bamisile sat out for the first time since Feb. 1. The 6-foot-4 junior saw increasingly limited playing time across each of the Sooners' previous three contests, so it's unclear if he's dealing with any injury or if he just lost his spot off the bench for Oklahoma. Bamisile's next opportunity to play will come versus Oklahoma State during Wednesday's opening round of the Big 12 Tournament.

Plays 19 minutes in blowout Bamisile produced 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one rebound, one block and one steal over 19 minutes during Saturday's 93-61 loss to West Virginia.

Impact Bamisile tied his season high for minutes played in any game this season. This was also his first time playing more than seven minutes since the Dec. 10 loss to Arkansas. Bamisile did miss nine of the previous 11 games due to an undisclosed injury, though it's still unlikely he'll see much more significant playing time moving forward outside of games with large margins of victory or loss.

FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not out with injury Bamisile hasn't played since Dec. 17 due to a coach's decision, Eli Lederman of Tulsa World reports.

Impact Despite not playing in Oklahoma's last three games, Bamisile isn't injured. Coach Porter Moser said the junior forward has to "stay ready" and that his opportunity will come.

Misses third straight Bamisile (undisclosed) did not play in Wednesday's 63-60 loss to Iowa State.

Impact Bamisile missed his third straight game while dealing with an undisclosed injury. It is unclear how long he will remain out, though his next chance to return is Saturday against Texas Tech.

DNP vs. Texas Bamisile (undisclosed) did not play during Oklahoma's 70-69 loss Saturday versus Texas.

Impact Bamisile sat out Oklahoma's last two games of December 2022. His next opportunity to return is when the Sooners host Iowa State on Jan. 4, but it's also entirely possible this isn't injury-related, and that the junior guard has simply fallen out of the rotation. If that's indeed the case, it would be an incredibly surprising fall from grace for a player who averaged 16.3 ppg a season ago, albeit in the Atlantic 10 conference.

Puts up team-high 15 points Bamisile registered 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes during Tuesday's 74-53 victory over UNCW.

Impact Bamisile tied with starting guard Grant Sherfield as the Sooners' leading scorer in this comfortable win over a Colonial Athletic opponent. The junior transfer has been a consistent role player off the bench in his first three games with Oklahoma, averaging eight points and two rebounds while playing 13 minutes per contest. Bamisile should continue to log healthy playing time behind Sherfield, C.J. Noland and Jacob Groves during Friday's game against South Alabama.

Comes off bench Monday night Bamisile accumulated six points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal over 13 minutes during Monday's 52-51 loss to Sam Houston.

Impact Bamisile did not start in his Oklahoma debut after transferring from George Washington this offseason. While starting all but one of his 30 games last season, the 6-foot-4 junior averaged 16.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks in 31.3 minutes per contest. Bamisile also spent his first collegiate season at Virginia Tech, though he may have to prove himself at the Power 5 level while playing behind C.J. Noland and Grant Sherfield this season.

NOVEMBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Performing well in Europe Bamisile has not received his waiver from the NCAA, but is participating in Oklahoma's foreign tour, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.

Impact Bamisile, who previously played at George Washington and Virginia Tech, is still patiently awaiting a waiver from the NCAA to partake in the 2022-2023 season. The guard is currently averaging 18.0 points per game in the Sooners' first two contests of the foreign tour and would be a huge addition to Oklahoma if he is eligible to play this season.

AUGUST 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Still waiting on waiver Bamisile has yet to receive his transfer waiver from the NCAA, Eli Lederman of the Tulsa World reports.

Impact Since this is Bamisile's third school in three collegiate seasons, he technically needs a waiver from the NCAA in order to be granted immediate eligibility for the Sooners. Fortunately for Bamisile, the NCAA is typically lenient on these, as teammate Grant Sherfield -- in a similar situation -- has already received his waiver. Still, the 16.3 ppg scorer will have to wait a bit longer to be officially awarded his 2022-23 eligibility.
