Feels like Omer wrote his bio somewhere and Givony cut 'n pasted it.

I suppose it's good that he played EuroLeague ball at a young age, but he barely saw the court in Euro League. He saw the court a little more in Israeli in-country league play.......

I assume they are hoping for bloodline potential.  Not a top 150 player and just the 40th ranked point guard in 25 by 247.  Other offers were Cal Poly and Western Illinois.

Apparently academic issues and this may have been Ohio State giving him a soft-landing way out.

Like this kid a fair bit and it’s curious he hasn’t landed at some post-grad program or JC yet.
