Former Oklahoma guard Otega Oweh commits to Kentucky, Mark Pope

Oklahoma Sooners guard Otega Oweh committed to Kentucky on Saturday, joining Amari Williams and Collin Chandler in being part of Mark Pope’s first Kentucky squad.

A sophomore from Newark, New Jersey, Oweh averaged 11.4 points and 3.8 rebounds per game while shooting 49.3% from the field on a Sooner team that just narrowly missed out on the NCAA Tournament.

He shot 37.7% from beyond the arch for the Sooners, further expressing Pope’s interest in him.

It was first reported by Jacob Polacheck of KSR that Oweh has heard from Pope and staff after it was confirmed that the former BYU head coach would continue seeking his BYU targets in Lexington.
