Would be huge! Come back young fella. Work on that 3 point shot in the summer (eliminate that hitch) and become an unstoppable force!

 

[CNJ1966]

He’d be a fool not to. Still, good news!

 

[DraftCat]

Called it!

If this is true then it's a great move for Oweh and next year Cats obviously.

 

[WallMashKyBall]

Love this, Oweh prolly plays with the biggest ball set on the team.

 

[I_still_BELIEVE]

That would be amazing, great news if true! Keeping players multiple years, imagine that

 

[ganner918]

NIL changed the game, it makes more sense for guys like him to be a college star than to be a G League/foreign league player.

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

Certainly makes my days seeing that. Will gladly welcome Oweh back for his senior year!

Oh thank ya baby Jesus! We love 00 around these parts.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

I mean where was he gonna go?

I agree with others that NIL is a game changer for guys like this.

 

[WCSPlayedWRInHS]

Ahhh a return to common sense decision making. Thank you mark freaking pope!

 

[BBNinSC]

I really enjoy watching Oweh and I sure hope to get to again next season. Great news

 

[WeWant9]

That would be awesome. Another year in Pope’s system with some of the guys we got coming in/hopefully returning sounds solid to me.

O-weh O-weh O-weh, O-WEHHH, O-WEHHH

O-weh O-weh O-weh, O-WEHHH, O-WEHHH

My wife hates when i yell this. She stays though lol

 

[Digger-Cat]

Little early for this. Seen guys go nuclear in the NCAAT and earn themselves a spot in the draft. Oweh is good enough that it wouldn't be surprising if he did something like that.

He’s just not an NBA type prospect though. Slow hitch jumper, slasher type with below average playmaking ability, average to below average height for position etc. I’ve been telling y’all for awhile this. I love Oweh and there is nothing wrong with being a very good college player. He could average 25 a game this season and still not an NBA 1st rounder.

 

[Rockford]

This is a lot like Bracketology in November

A lot can change.

I hope like hell he returns

It will be interesting to see how Pope approaches to test the water waters.

In the NIL era, this is the right choice. He’s not an NBA talent and he can make good money and play for a title here.

You think Oweh is going to test the waters? He doesn’t even appear in the second round on the most accurate mock drafts.

Or are you talking about looking for other NIL offers?

He is solid now but another year. Dude will be an absolute stud!!

 

[bigblue1971]

1 thru 3 will be able to get around defenders next year. Lewis is crafty, Johnson is quick and athletic and Otega is just a big powerful dude that gets to the goal and finishes strong. Need a couple PF and an experienced C to go with Garrison and Moreno.

I saw where Justin Edwards salary this year is $587,000 . I know he wasn’t great but…….couldn’t he have made substantially more in NIL money somewhere?

Eh... I don't know if he would make more than that in NIL.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

If true, thats a massive stamp of approval to the Pope atmosphere.

 

[yoshukai]

Eh... I don't know if he would make more than that in NIL.

Honestly figured Cal would give him more than that to come to Arkansas. lol

 

[bnewt]

Yes, much better than leaving and not even drafted

 

[BBNinSC]

What’s to keep any player from entering the portal every season to go to the highest bidder?

Oh I get that, but Steph Curry didn't have physical attributes either, he got hot during an NCAAT run, now look at him.

But I will gladly take an Oweh any day, you need those guys if you want to have a true team.

 

[runt#69]

My favorite player on this year's team, on a team full of players I am absolutely loving ?


HELL YES !

I sure hope so !

 

[chroix]

This would be amazing but I’m still too gun shy from years of Cal. Will believe it when I see it.

Not saying you did, but most people forget that Curry returned to Davidson after the E8 run and they went to the NIT.

He made the right move.
He's actually taken to the pro game moreso than the college game.
If the decision was to follow Cal to Arkansas it's really a no brainier.
His development is in much better hands with the Sixers organization.

The point I was making was, if Steph Curry can get to the NBA and sustain it the way he has, there's no reason a guy like Oweh couldn't. Can Steph even dunk?

It just proves the point that if you have measurables and athleticism, they'll take you and teach you the rest.
Cal isn't doing anything but convincing them to play for him, then acting like he got them drafted. If anything, he hurt some if their draft stock with his awful coaching and old school offense he runs.

Hell, IDK.

Just that people could change their minds.... depends in which voices are in their ears.

 

[electricat2]

am i the only person that thinks he is every bit as good as cason wallace? and he is in the nba

 

[BlueSince92]

WE WANT MOWEH!
