Breaking News: Star Forward Otega Oweh Explodes on Mark Pope Over Playing Time, Puts Transfer Portal on Notice with Florida Gators as Top Destination
College basketball was rocked today as Oklahoma standout forward Otega Oweh publicly voiced his frustration with new Kentucky head coach Mark Pope over limited playing time, sending shockwaves through the NCAA landscape. Sources close to the situation revealed that Oweh, known for his explosive athleticism and two-way potential, confronted Pope during a recent team meeting, questioning his reduced role and lack of trust on the court.
The heated exchange comes just weeks after Pope took over the Kentucky program, promising a fresh culture and open competition. However, Oweh, who transferred to Kentucky with expectations of a breakout season, has grown increasingly discontent with his minutes and usage in practice. The tension reportedly reached a boiling point earlier this week.
In a bold move, Oweh has now entered the transfer portal and wasted no time signaling his next possible destination: the Florida Gators. According to multiple insiders, the Gators have emerged as the early frontrunners to land the dynamic forward, who averaged 11.4 points and 3.8 rebounds last season with Oklahoma.
Florida, led by head coach Todd Golden, is actively pursuing experienced wings to bolster its SEC title hopes, and Oweh could be a perfect fit. With his elite defense and transition game, he’d immediately become a cornerstone player for the Gators.
This developing story marks one of the biggest transfer sagas of the offseason, with fans and programs alike closely watching Oweh’s next move.
