Blue Devils—has sent a personal message to rising basketball star Otega Oweh, stirring speculation across both the baseball and basketball worlds.
While the contents of the message have not been fully disclosed, sources close to the Duke athletic department confirm that the communication was “direct, heartfelt, and full of competitive spirit.” Weaver, known for his fiery personality and deep understanding of the game, reportedly reached out to Oweh following recent standout performances by the young guard, who plays for the Oklahoma Sooners.
“It’s not every day you see a baseball legend mentoring a basketball phenom,” one Duke insider commented. “But Earl has always been about leadership, regardless of the sport.”
Weaver, who managed the Orioles from 1968–1982 and again from 1985–1986, is considered one of the sharpest minds in baseball history. His transition to collegiate basketball coaching has been unconventional, yet it underscores his passion for competition and mentoring young athletes.
Oweh, for his part, has not yet responded publicly but is expected to address the message in an upcoming press conference.
Fans across social media are buzzing with theories—some suggesting this could be a sign of Oweh considering a transfer, while others see it as simply a gesture of respect between generations of sports greatness.
Stay tuned for updates as more details emerge on this unexpected but intriguing cross-sport connection.
