ASU’s Ormier changes course, enters portal

A little more than two weeks ago, Norchad Omier shared on social media that he would be returning to Arkansas State's men's basketball team for his third season.

On Wednesday morning that post was deleted from his Twitter page, and by late afternoon it was replaced by one announcing his departure.

The reigning Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, Omier will enter the transfer portal after a season in which he averaged 17.9 points and 12.2 rebounds per game.

A native of Nicaragua, Omier was only the third player in conference history to earn both individual awards in the same season and just the third Arkansas State player to ever be named Sun Belt Player of the Year.
