Rutgers center Emmanuel Ogbole is planning to enter the transfer portal, while seeking a waiver for another year of eligibility, according to Joe Tipton of On3. Ogbole has played four years of college basketball, but he played his first season at JUCO Monroe College, before joining the Scarlet Knights for three years.
The 6-foot-10, 260-pound Ogbole appeared in 67 games over the past three years for Rutgers, starting 45 of them. Last season, Ogbole appeared in 34 games for Rutgers while making 30
starts. Over that span, he averaged 4.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 59.8 percent from the field and 54.3 percent from the free-throw line.
His best performance of the season came in the Players Era Tournament against UNLV, where he posted 21 points and 13 rebounds. He also recorded a double-double against Lehigh.
He will have one year of eligibility to play elsewhere if he is granted the waiver for his JUCO year.
