After recently landing Jeff Nwankwo, Mark Madsen continues to strike in the transfer portal. This time its BJ Omot, a transfer from North Dakota who will coming out west to represent the Golden Bears. The sophomore forward started in 32 games last year for the Fighting Hawks, averaging 16.7 points per game and 4.2 rebounds per game.

Omot really tries to get to the rim, scoring at a 58% clip when getting there. That is also where 46% of his field goal attempts come from, and at his 6’8 frame, he can get downhill with that length and athleticism. Last season he shot 41.4% from the field and 28.2% from three point range, signaling that his jumper is a work in progress.

This past season, Omot was named all Summit League first team, and will look to carry that momentum into the ACC next year. He joins Lee Dort and Nwankwo as the scholarship additions for Cal, with more sure to come.

Welcome to Cal BJ!
