I would love for him to come back. There are only two players who I don't think should come back.

Would not overspend on Oweh
He’s not a good finisher at the rim - handle is SUS - shot form is busted
If he wants a ransom let him walk
We can get as good in portal
If his price is fair sign him but hopefully he gets individual instruction like Pitino provided

He could have the Reeves progression. I felt, like Reeves, we needed him to try to be a savior every game, but was not quite there yet. But, come back that next year and the every game magic can happen.
Reeves was inconsistent in year 1 and became stable scorer who could give us 20 points efficiency each night in year 2.

Oweh needs to go thorough draft process to get some feedback and improve his game.

Money talks and ******** walks
Oh, so you think UK and Coach Pope won't pay him what he needs??????

He is priority #1 for this team.

Never will I say never, but he would be CRAZY to leave here and play for someone else after what Coach Pope's system has done for his game. I would be SHOCKED if he left.

Did I say he’d play for someone else?

No.

The only ones eligible to return are Oweh, the three freshman and Garrison.

Two of the freshman can’t play at this level and look to be already recruited over. Oweh I think you might as well flip a coin at this point imho. Garrison probably will chase some money if the market gets insane.
Of course, we know Seniors can’t return, Sherlock.

I’ll keep our 2 KY kids. Both have a great work ethic. I’m not ready to throw the all time leading scorer in KHSAA history to the wind. If they don’t improve, they bleed blue and will be find end of the bench pieces

It doesn’t matter what I or you or anyone else thinks.

It matters what he and his people think.
And you KNOW what they think?????

So he is going to get "feedback" by putting his name in the draft and go to the combine.

These kids and their agents get "Feedback" CONSTANTLY throughout the season. "Feedback" is the MOST overused term in all of college basketball. These kids go to the combine to TRY and PROVE the "feedback" was WRONG!!!

Sometimes I think it’s really hard to understand the mindset of athletes for some people. Especially the ones with true athletic gifts who have the one goal of being professionals and getting paid.

I’ve worked with a couple of pro athletes in my time. This is anecdotal but every one had two things in common: extremely driven and extremely confident.

We signed kid from the portal today and his first words were basically “I want to play in the NBA”.
