I’m not a Jeff Goodman fan, but he is connected and him saying he thinks Oweh will return makes me feel slightly better.

Tom Leach says it looks like Oweh will return.

OWEH didn’t hear what he wanted to hear evidently.

Nope. I think he knew all along that he wasn't a first round pick this year and wanted to get feedback from professional scouts. Why wouldn't you take that opportunity if your goal is to play in the NBA? For months we've been hearing that he wants to go through the process, get feedback, and return to school to work towards being a first rounder. That's exactly what is happening. I know we were all conditioned to question things Cal said, but let's give the new guy a chance.

Chance to be a top 5 team and hang a banner, makes perfect sense.

Somebody call the PO PO, I am heading down to the second street bridge to take a leap into the Ohio....

Nope, if he could get any kind of guarantee he would be drafted or signed this year 1st second 3rd 4th 5th and play in the NBA right now he would be gone. Not about the money or he would not be there in the first place, about the opportunity...

Pope played in the NBA and is a guru, Pope knows exactly what he needs to work on via the next level., doesn't need a pro scout to tell him all that.


Until it's official one way or another, keep your fingers crossed...

Latest mocks from Bleacher Report, ESPN, and SI are out and Oweh is only projected to be drafted in one mock. There are only 59 picks this year and he's projected in this SI mock at the 58th overall selection. I wonder when he will officially declare his intentions.

[Matt Dillon]

It's looking more and more as if he'll be returning, but as Yogi Berra the Yankee Hall Of Fame catcher once said "it ain't over till it's over".

[EKYCat]

Here are the stats. In every measurable category Oweh is equal to or outperforms Brea, except one. Putting the ball in the hole. Just goes to show you, that's the most important thing in this game.

Did Oweh make the comment that he wanted a first round guarantee or is that general conjecture?

[DA#23]

I think it’s been a feeling around the program. So while he hasn’t said it, I don’t think completely assumption either
