Four-star guard and former Villanova target Adam Oumiddoch is back on the market.
Oumiddoch announced on Tuesday that he will reopen his recruitment after decommitting from St. John’s.
“I’m thankful to Coach
Pitino, Coach Masiello, and everyone at St. John’s for the opportunity and belief they showed in me,” Oumiddoch wrote on social media. New York City and the chance to play at Madison Square Garden is something every kid dreams about.“
“After a lot of reflection and conversations with my family, I’ve decided to step back and reopen my recruitment.”
Oumiddoch, who is ranked as the 49th player in the nation by 247Sports, originally committed to St. John’s in November. He chose the Red Storm over Villanova, Illinois, Oregon, and LSU.
The 6-foot-6 guard is currently a senior out of Overtime Elite in Georgia. During the regular season, Oumiddoch averaged 28.2 points and 5.3 rebounds per game while shooting nearly 50% from the field. He was also one of the top performances on the Adidas 3SSB circuit last summer. He played for Wildcat Select, where he put up 17.4 points and 7.4 rebounds while shooting 44% from three-point range.
The Wildcats offered five-star sophomore Mason Collins last week after he was on campus to watch the team defeat Seton Hall. Head coach Kevin Willard remains active on the recruiting trail. As a former target, and eventual finalist, for Willard and the Wildcats, it would make sense for Villanova to throw its hat back in the ring for one of the top players in the nation.
