“As amazing as this year was, it helped solidify another dream I’ve had since I first started playing basketball and that is to reach the NBA,” he said in the post.

Omier added that he would maintain his collegiate eligibility, leaving the possibility for a return to Miami should things not work out this year with the NBA.

Last season with Miami, Omier averaged 13.1 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.1 blocks and 1.1 steals in 37 games.

He helped lead the Hurricanes to their first ever Final Four appearance.
