GRAND FORKS, N.D. – Head Coach
Paul Sather and the University of North Dakota men's basketball program announced B.J. Omot has signed his National Letter of Intent (NLI) to play basketball for the Fighting Hawks in the 2022-23 season.
Sather on Omot:
"B.J. is an outstanding person that brings size, length, skill and versatility to both ends of the court. He can guard multiple positions with his 6'8" frame, but handles, passes and shoots the ball like a guard. B.J. is an unselfish player with great feel and awareness on the court. We can't wait to get him here and get to work!"
