BJ Omot to enter the transfer portal

[Holy Man]

Won’t be surprised if Omot ends up back at North Dakota.

I hear they have some roster spots available.

Isn't that like playing for Pancheros gift cards versus the cash from Cal and Minnesota.

Hey now, I won't accept any negative comments towards Pancheros.

If you are a Gopher fan...here's how this works...Omot transfers to St Thomas...he leads them to the NCAA Sweet 16 as their MVP.

There's an equally poor chance that he retires from basketball altogether and opens a highly success fruit business named Omot's Kumquats.

And that he provides any leftover fruit to Scott's Tots

And then the strained leftovers are sent to Mott's Apple Sauce.

4 games played in two years. Fourth different school in four years. Good luck with all that.

The question is: Was this one of those I eat difficult conversations for breakfast kind of talks for Niko with Omot...or did Omot make it easy and walked away on his own accord? I'm guessing it frees up a money slot.

Not difficult at all
Hey BJ, your NIL deal won't be renewed
BJ: I'll try to fool/screw another school via the portal

I think he'd be great in the booth with Parker Fox.

I’ve been seeing this sour grapes sentiment. Maybe I missed it…did BJ lie to our staff about his injury/recovery? Is he healthy but refusing to play?

I don't think that's necessarily the consensus. I saw him play in the exhibitions, and he didn't look "right." I'll give him the benefit of the doubt that something was ailing him or failed to heal properly. Seems like a great kid, and I'm sure he wanted to be out there.

I think it's more of a realization that you can't risk scarce funds on guys like BJ or other serially injured players.

Unless they are willing to take a HUGE pay cut, it almost has to be a "good luck elsewhere."

Agree with this. Can’t hand out scarce NIL $$ on the “hope” a guy is healthy enough to play. There we questions before the season can’t hold a spot

There's a chance BJ's injury is enough to keep him from playing at all. So, someone else will have to take a chance on him.
