Cliff Omoruyi, a 4-star forward in the 2020 recruiting class, has picked up an offer from John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats.
The 6-11 center, who attends Roselle Catholic (NJ), has already received interest from numerous schools around the country, with SEC rival Florida also extending an offer.
UConn, Illinois, Miami, Syracuse, and West Virginia are among the other schools in the mix.

Omoruyi is rated as the No. 3 player in New Jersey and the No. 59 player overall in the 2020 class, according to 247Sports.
It’s no surprise to see Calipari and company going after elite prospects, as the Wildcats continue to rank near the top every single season when it comes to bringing in future NBA talent.
Kentucky has yet another strong class on the way in this year, with 5-stars Kahlil Whitney, Tyrese Maxey, and Keion Brooks joining 4-star small forward Dontaie Allen.
The Wildcats advanced to the Elite Eight this past season for the seventh time in Calipari’s 10 seasons thus far in Lexington.
