Georgia Tech transfer Brian Oliver is mulling several Big East schools in the Northeast.
Seton Hall, Rutgers, St. John’s, Syracuse and Georgetown, along with Temple, La Salle and Missouri have expressed interest in the 6-foot-6 sophomore, his mother told SNY.tv.
“He’s finishing summer session 1 right now and is going to take some visits after he gets home,” Zena Oliver said by email.
A Glassboro, N.J., native, Brian has four officials remaining.
He averaged 10.5 points and 4.5 rebounds last season and dropped a season-high 32 in a loss to Syracuse and 28 in a win over Virginia Tech.
He missed the final eight games of the regular season with a broken thumb, and then opted to transfer after the coaching change that brought in former Dayton coach Brian Gregory.
He would have to sit a year per NCAA transfer regulations.
