Thiero to the draft. Big blow for Arkansas
Oweh update

Relax if Oweh goes pro we didn’t want him. We don’t want players who don’t want to be at uk or in school and that’s the only real reason not to stay. With that said Oweh is likely coming back and pope knows this keeps people engaged. Plus we can celebrate nit losing Oweh and forget about some of the misses. This coaching job requires this kind of drama. Oweh will be back bc I believe he has grown to know what being an AA at UK can do for him for a lifetime. You win a title too and well he will have it made.
You put Oweh's motor in most D1 athletes and they'd be a helluva player.
LOL, you must have missed the season Livingston played at UK
Have to disagree
Livingston could not shoot, handle the ball or rebound when he left UK
He may have improved, but that would be hard to do never playing
Same dude talking about Oweh not being better than Livingston never ate his **** over calling Reeves a bench player and never responded to all my receipts. Dude is a Cal slurper to the end, thinks freshman 5 stars are just better than everyone because of the number by their name
Phew this is certainly a take.
Never seen Livingston put his team on his back and carry them the the win. Not once and he was never ever close to doing so. Can't say the same about Oweh, because that dude did it. And we all saw it. Your post is silly.
And of course it’s a west coast team which means this thing is going all the way to the deadline.
Seems like we’ve had way more of these than any other program.
He's getting positive feedback from what I've read. whether that translates into a draft spot, who knows. He worked out for the Knicks yesterday who have four first round picks. Of course they will likely trade a couple of those away, but still he seems to be getting some decent feedback. Maybe Pope is telling him to wait till the last minute for that anticipation and attention to the program. Save the best for last so to speak. The BOOM we need to finally set our championship caliber roster.
This is *** backwards from the way it actually works. He doesn’t need to “announce” he’s leaving. Announcements are only required if you withdraw from the draft.
If he says nothing before the deadline then he stays in the draft.
It's always a bit strange to me to compare a guy in his junior year vs a guy who played as just a freshmen. OO freshmen year was nothing impressive either. Players get better and CL may have benefitted from a better coach n Pope as well if he played for him.
I'm not an expert to say who is better (clearly OO has had way more success n college and pro careers probably won't be impressive for either IMO) but just saying on the above.

Probably didn’t want to get hurt yet again. That’s his issue, always an injury.
That’s the whole point. He returned to college and injured his wrist. That is one of the main things about returning to college is risk of injury. So no I’m not acting like anything. He goes pro last year and has a contract while he’s injured whereas now he probably won’t be drafted. Oweh sees that also so I’m gonna call it what it is. Does Oweh come back and make us fans happy or does he go while he can.
I hate to say it, but if we're looking at it from an NBA level, and which player profiles better.. Livingston might be a better player.
Now in college, the part that WE care about, he can't even hold Oweh's jock strap. The saddest part about this is that strictly due to physical abilities, Livingston might just be a better professional basketball player. Doesn't mean I like it, because CL was one of those late-era Cal players that did nothing for me.

Chris Livingston played one season at the University of Kentucky in 2022-2023, averaging 6.3 points and 4.2 rebounds per game in 34 contests, including 26 starts. He shot 42.9%
This is better than 16 ppg and the best player on the team last year.
Otega Oweh's stats during his time at Kentucky include averaging 16.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game in his 2024-25 season
And now, none of this thread matters! But it was fun anyways.. I love taking days off my life worrying about Kentucky basketball lmao. See everyone here next season.
Wrong. Robinson withdrew right before the midnight deadline last year. I remember it well. Maybe you didn’t hear about it until the next day, but that’s your issue.
That has nothing to do with who is the better player.
Livingston is what, 2 years younger than Oweh?, and in the NBA already.
Oweh is not.
He is in the Gleague (mostly). It is laughable to think Livingston can even hold Oweh's jock. Oweh would eat him alive. Age has nothing to do with who is the better ball player. It is amazing, Oweh June 21 2003 and Livingston Oct 15 2003. Both the same age at this point in time. One player smart enough to stay in college and fine tune his game, the other was on Cal's short list to push out the door to get the next guy to destroy. Lol
Leadbelly, you typically post when there's an angle to play on the emotions of Kentucky fans.
I've known you for years, and I still can't remember a single time you've written anything positive about Kentucky's chances at a title.
So here's that chance. I'm genuinely curious to see what your opinion is of next year's UK team and their title chances now that Oweh is returning.
I think that’s all the key pieces for the SEC teams accounted for.
Oweh is back. Knox is back. Pettiford is back. Condon is back.
Thiero is staying in the draft.
My First Team All-SEC:
Hubbard- MSU
Pettiford- Auburn
Oweh- UK
Mitchell- Mizzou
Condon- UF
Oweh- SEC POY

So the guy that made the league is a worse player than the guy that can’t get drafted?
Laugh at that!
Let's all learn a lesson from this after two years in a row of it happening. Last year, Robinson waited until the last day. So did Oweh. It will probably happen again next year. Maybe we as a fan base can file it back so we don't lose our collective minds this time next spring.
I think its just the slow period in sports, and a fanatical fanbase with not much else to do in the off season.. But I dont think anyone was really losing their mind, except for a few. I was certainly hoping he came back, but I also kind of figured we had a pretty stout team regardless.
It did seem like he was waiting on those ahead of him to drop out, and I am a little surprised hes coming back. I figured everything we saw these last few days, with other better players options to come back, that he'd ultimately stay. So im pleasantly surprised.
Not the same draft is it. If CL is better than Oweh he would be a regular on an NBA team. But to say CL is better when he has never ever shown it is what is laughable with your statement. You and I can agree to disagree on this one.So the guy that made the league is a worse player than the guy that can’t get drafted?
Laugh at that!
On this message board, BBN does not have the capability to not lose our minds....over anything related to UK.
