Pronouncing O MO RU YI

[MaxRU]

Have heard at least 3 or 4 variations on Cliff's name on TV. If they can get Tua's right surely this one should be cake. Rutgers PR should insist the play by play and color guys get this right.

Thank you, couldn't agree more

It's listed incorrectly in the media guide which is what the announcers consult.

 

[HeavenUniv.]

Didn’t he himself change the pronunciation sometime in December?

 

[Luvscarletknights]

I believe Cliff said it was O-More-E

[MaxRU]

Thank you. If I heard correctly it is O MO REE YAY

 

[wheezer]

I believe Cliff said it was O-More-E

yes, I believe Eugene and Cliff pronounce it differently

 

[Luvscarletknights]

Eugene pronounced it o-more-u-yi. Bugs me too that the announcers di not seem to do their homework.

Sounds like he pronounces his last name with 4 syllables:

O mor ee ay ?

MO

We seem to disagree on where the "R" goes!

MO

He changed the pronunciation back in December. He wants to be called, A-MOR-AY.

Thanks, Chris! It sounds like O-More-Yay, but the third syllable is a blend of Yay and Yee

 

[OTBOTOR]

When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie that’s Omoruyi

Its still hard to see him

 

[RUfromSoCal?]

i think he's messin' with us at this point.

 

[SBP]

He is saying it is: O MAR ee yay

 

[ScarletDave]

He tweeted a little back :
O-mo-RU-yi ... like the other guy

 

[RU05]

I'm rolling with Cliff.

 

[RUnTeX]

Seemed straightforward and phonetic as spelled, and given the history with Eugene O. for three years with the exact same spelling, I thought it was the same. Alas, if Cliff has decided to alter how to say it and make it harder to pronounce, all the power to him.

 

[RUblackshirt2006]

How you say his name aside, i haven’t seen much commentary on his play in the forum, and just wanted to say that I was very impressed last game and also against Garza. Mostly defensively and with getting rebounds, but also being more opportunistic around the rim. He even seems 10 lbs heavier suddenly.

Would be interesting if we dance vs. Oregon. It would drive the announcers crazy.
