BR projects Oweh will be drafted: EDIT: Oweh Withdraws!

If he does decide to stay in college, technically speaking I would assume he is a FREE AGENT to the highest bidder correct??

PG Lowe > Butler
SG Aberdeen > Robinson
SF OWEH > OWEH
PF Dioubate > Carr
C Quaintance/ Garrison > Williams

That will be your starting lineup, at least to start the year.

It don't even matter, we killing time at this point...

Robinson announced he was pulling out the day of, but didn't announce his commitment to Kentucky until the next morning.

It's a different situation. If OWEH comes back, he's not in the transfer portal.

No. He's not in the portal. It's Kentucky or NBA.

Thanks for the clarification...

In this ERA, you never know.

You got dudes suing the NCAA to play another year and everything in between...

Entering the final hours before the withdrawal deadline, Darrell Bird of The Cats Pause got a chance to talk with Mark Pope in Florida about the decision Oweh has to make.

“We’re having conversations via text right now because I’m trying to give him as much space as I can.”

Pope continued and pointed to the main deciding factor in this decision.

“The most important thing is where his heart is. That’s really the most important thing. He’s had really good progress of his workouts, he’s getting incredible feedback that’s been really positive from teams. There is a space for him in that league at some point. So it’s going to be all about where his heart is.”

Pope also said that Oweh has one more Wednesday workout before making a decision.

With an already loaded roster, adding Oweh to the mix would put the Cats right in the argument for the best roster in the country.

We will have a decision soon, folks. Now we all just wait and see.

In other words: Darrell Bird had to meet his word quota on a Wednesday afternoon.

Pettiford withdraws.

This waiting is almost as bad as watching the camera on the door.

Looks like RJ Luis is one of the only big ones remaining. Adou Thiero is also out there.

If it's a game of chicken to see if they can hold until the very end, then Oweh has almost remained undecided the longest.

Pretty good strategy....well...unless it fails.

I really hope OO comes back for his experience and skill...in that order. It would sure make things a little easier.
But he has to do what Pope said...he has to follow his heart. Easy for me to say he is in a can't lose scenario...but iv always heard trying to choose between equally good options is maddening.

Good luck Mr Oweh whatever you choose.

If you wait this long, you're definitely trying to get a deal agreed to. No way he comes this far and just goes to the draft because he wants to see what'll happen. They're working some kind of angle, maybe with the team he worked out with today.

I believe I read that that team was the Sacramento Kings. They pick about midway through the second round.

Depending on if you believe the source, Oweh has already informed the staff of his decision.

Thiero staying in the draft.

Possibly. Only logic I can see is that they want to wait until he has a sort of clear runway to announce, giving him maximum PR push or something.

Otherwise I'm not sure what the purpose would really be or what benefit you'd get out of just sitting on it.
