Oweh declares

[jedcat]

This is always a weird dynamic where we're simultaneously saying we don't think he's that great but we really want him next year. It's understandable, but interesting.

I think we’re saying we need him, also but we don’t need him for 2 million dollars, a job for somebody else, and any additional promises.

 

[_TheBadGuy_]

kentucky would be screwed if he decides to stay in the draft

lol so would he. Big bro would be taking care of his dumba.##. Hes got no worries. That family is set and he’ll play in the league and make a couple million. Just not for long and not this year. He’ll return. If he improves his shooting at a little higher volume. If he takes over 100 3’s and shoots 36% he’ll get picked late 2nd. Make a few million then be out of the league in a couple years.

 

[Eagles_Ball]

Right now he is a second round pick. He will try to see if can get on a good team as late first rounder .

If he doesn’t work out, he will be definitively welcomed back at Kentucky and he knows it.


OWehhhhh. Oweeeeh!

What draft board are you seeing him on as a second rounder?

 

[darrellm1234]

This is one time NIL money should be a help. He will more than likely return here at UK instead of going elsewhere.

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Time to ask a dumb question.

What is maintenance of your eligibility anymore? They already have agents and are getting paid.

 

[clevenger32]

Cal revamped his frontcourt today with Ewin and Pringle, adding salt to the wound.

I'll be in seclusion in the west wing...

Don’t give a damn what’s taking place outside UK
Basketball.

 

[Greatestalltime]

1000 shots a day with one hand only for two weeks will fix his shot. (Some)

 

[HogFan2012]

Everywhere I've looked they say 2nd round so probably 50/50 on returning.
I hope he does well whatever his decision is.

 

[MachineHead1]

He’ll be back. He can make a ton of money here, win big, and improve his stock.

 

[kywildcat41035]

I believe the Cal mindset is gone and washed from the program. With that being said I think the only reason he declared is to get positive feedback on what he needs to improve upon this season to become a first round draft pick in 2026. He will be back to help us to title #9.

 

[zannmann]

The NCAA needs to change the rule to you can come back if you don’t get drafted. There is no reason having someone pulling their name out of the draft to come back.

 

[ck-2]

He’s weighing his options and I completely understand. But if he’s going to weigh his options Pope should weigh his also on a potential replacement.

 

[Victorbmyboy]

They did. They have to tell their college by 5pm the following Monday after the draft if they plan to return. Thats if they don’t get drafted at all.

 

[Hoskins91]

The most likely scenario is he’s at best a late second, whether he comes back or not. Being able to pay him ourselves helps, but I would get if he’s done with college and wants to move on.

 

[ImTheVillageIdiot]

Oweh doesn’t project anywhere close to a lottery pick or a first rounder. Don’t know why people are afraid of him leaving

 

[kywildcats8]

Smart move by him to go get feedback, and come be the main guy for us next year

Shoot better and be a better ball handler, IMO to be in the NBA

 

[GoAndRunIsGoneAndDone]

He’s weighing his options and I completely understand. But if he’s going to weigh his options Pope should weigh his also on a potential replacement.

Agreed. I think he'd explode in our offense next season but Pope does need to replace his kinda productivity soon. We need to shore up a cg either way, already. I feel good about that...that Pope has a plan and that some good players are yet to enter the portal. But we need a solid player to fill his shoes if he leaves. Tough call but I think it benefits all if he comes back but I understand if he leaves too.

 

[Eagles_Ball]

Everywhere I've looked they say 2nd round so probably 50/50 on returning.

Where do you see this? I'm genuinely curious. He's on no mock draft boards I've seen.

 

[LmdCat]

Obviously to piss you off so you could spew all that dumbassness about him onto this board..

You are not worth a debate so I am ignoring you.

It's called the Cal syndrome...

He doesn't project in the draft. Period. At all. Which only furthers your point. He should absolutely do what he is doing though. Getting feedback is never a bad thing. I can't imagine he'll hear anything he hasn't already heard, but it probably carries more weight coming from the NBA scouts/execs.
