Otega Oweh

[TheWyldKat]

Can my fine friends from rafters help me? Having a family conversation about Otega‘s eligibility. He is a junior and has one year remaining of eligibility, correct?

Correct. But he very well could go NBA

Thank you Blues

I think he needs to fix his "hitch" before being considered by the NBA.

But no doubt can he finish in the paint.

I'd like to think NIL money gets him to stay an extra year and work on that jump shot.

I do hope you're right. I'm hopeful that Pope is nothing like Cal in the way of pushing guys out the door to become pro as soon as possible. Love to have him another year as he is something else to watch in games. He is always around the ball, it seems, whether offense or defense and is so fun to watch.

I would say there’s about a 5 percent chance he goes to the nba next year. Unless he just explodes and turns into a top 10 pick. That’s the difference between the new ky under pope and cal, players won’t be forced out just to have another name in the nba.

I want him to get one extra year playing defensive back for the football team before turning pro in something.

Reminds me of Anthony Epps trying out at receiver for the Cowboys after his UK days

Me too, I honestly think that is the plan too. Lewis seemed pretty sure we would have 5 players return and he’s one of them. Obviously he could blow up but I don’t know if they will consider him first round so I bet he returns.

Had no idea until recently that his brother plays for the Ravens. Here's his brother speaking about him:

That's crazy. Me and my wife noticed him a couple of weeks ago and she asked if he was related to Otega. I said I doubt it. Lol Don't tell my wife.

I really like his game. On a team full of good players, Oweh is the best of the bunch imo.

Gotta love the reference to him just hoping for a deep tournament run. Even our players support system have the right attitude...

I think he tests the waters, gets feedback and comes back to be the focal point of our offense.
