If he leaves UK has 0 starters back. Idk how that has worked out for teams historically but to be fair, different era now.

Well Pop Isaac’s did flip after Uzan returned. Maybe they take a shot at a committed player for that cash, I’m sure a couple major players may change their mind at an Oweh size offer.
I'm like 90% sure you need a VPN to see that stuff in Kentucky now... That or a really close friend group.
Jeez, you are living in the past. “Signing with an agent” no longer has a damn thing to do with eligibility, and hasn’t for quite some time now. Hell, nowadays the college players all have agents too.
I'm gonna hit up the local taqueria and manifest this with some bubble gut. You're gonna be right one way or another.
I don't know much about Holt. Hardly anything at all really. Is he likely to reclassify? Are we in good shape with him?
I'm with you. I would love to have him back too but I don't think it's the end of the world if he doesn't. No one really expected him to be the player he was last year. He took a huge leap. I think we have players on our roster that can make that same leap and fill his shoes. My guess is Kam Williams.
He will only leave if he is a guaranteed first rounder
Watkins is a taller version of Oweh, he should be the target.
He's elite. Maybe the best wing player in his class. Athletic. Long. Great wing span. Solid rebounder and passer. He averaged about 11 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists per game in limited minutes at FIBA. Shot the ball exceptionally well. 63% from two, 50% from three, and 79% from the line. Only played 16 minutes per game, but he was highly effective in his time on the court. Posted a 20 to 6 assist to turnover ratio in 7 games.
UK is one of his favorites. His dad loves Pope. A reclass is always just a mere set of summer papers away from happening.

I'm not counting on Watkins pulling out of the draft, but who really knows at this point.
It’s going down to the wire. I hope Otega decides to return but I would not be shocked if he stays in the draft.
Oweh proliferated mainly due to injuries. I think with a healthy roster we will be fine.
Love to have him back but I’m not a hand-wringer on this decision.

I do not think Watkins is guaranteed to return to college
If Oweh actually leaves, probably we will have to explore some reclasify options
I tend to think Pope already has a plan regardless of Oweh's decision
Remember when we missed Yaxel, that SDSU guy and finally we have 5 solid frontcourt players
I know even Oweh leaves, Pope will have some emergency plans
Norlander is saying Owen is getting really good feedback and it’s a tougher call than previously thought
Thanks! It sounds like he should have played more on that FIBA team. Whichever year he enters college I hope he's wearing a UK jersey
Meanwhile Lendeborg literally turned down a first round position to return to school. How's that for feedback?
Yeah, but you can't lump decisions made during the NIL era to the era prior to it where players couldn't even profit a dime.
We're seeing guys come back now that would have never considered it before. Now, it's kind of a stupid decision to take a 2nd round deal when you can make so much more in college.

Probably he is just "predicted" to be first rounder but no team actually gives him guarantee
Or he just wants to earn money at college despite having good feedback
Aren't they all?
If Jeremiah Fears could pull it off while still finding time for AU, traveling the world to play in Fiba tourneys, etc., then Caleb Holt can certainly pull it off.
Also, go ask Marvin Bagley how easy it is to reclass if a guy really wants to do so.
True, I like holt a lot as well. Also wouldn’t rule out a euro guy, like a stud euro player
But that's exactly my point. There's no way Oweh received better feedback than Lendeborg.
The narrative shifts are hilarious. Oweh falls out of virtually every mock draft, but suddenly there's a burst of positive feedback in the 11th hour!
Another May Miracle, everyone!
Dude, you're one of my favorite posters, but I really think it would be more fitting if you changed your screen name to "worryaboutit23."
We will know soon
Because "prediction" may be biased and sometimes only nba teams know the true value and prospect of some players , oweh may be way higher than most draft prediction shows in nba teams
I tend to think Oweh will be back, if Yaxel is back, no way Oweh will not back, Oweh will make a ton of money in college next season
But sometimes weird things may happen, we will know soon
Saul I have been one of the most positive guys on this board for months now, you’re confusing me with somebody else. Also you should know by now I like to “poke the bear” so to speak and get people going sometimes. But I will agree with you that nobody should be panicking yet. I do think we should atleast entertain the idea of Oweh leaving more now, but still think he is back
Yawn. Somebody wake me up when somebody really knows something. All this clickbait nonsense is getting old.
Why in hell are we critizing a young man that is trying to better himself and find a future career. He has zero obligation to stay at Kentucky to make a few idiot fans happy. How many are talking trash about Oweh leaving that would stay in your curret job if you felt like there was another path to improve you and your families lives. I kind of doubt that you would. Oweh's future is a heck of a lot more important to him and his family over ANY name on the front of a jersey. He gave us one great year and played through injury and showed more courage than anyone posting crap about him possibly leaving to try to reach a dream job in the NBA. If he stays in the draft, I wish and hope he has a wonderful career in professional basketball. If he returns to UK, I will welcome him back with open arms.

I've been told Oweh's coming back for 3 weeks so if he's not-will be a huge surprise.
