ESPN has ranked the top 50 men’s college basketball players at midseason.
Otega Oweh is the only Kentucky player in the top 50 and he is ranked No. 40.
Here is an excerpt:
40. Otega Oweh
Kentucky Wildcats | G | Sr.
The SEC Preseason Player of the Year spearheaded a roster that reportedly cost Kentucky brass more than $20 million to sign. So the criticism was warranted when Oweh, and the rest of the team, struggled early. That narrative has changed in recent weeks, however. Oweh led the Wildcats to five straight wins entering the week, averaging 19.2 points in that span and 16.1 points on the season. And just like that, Kentucky has gone from bubble team to SEC contender. — Medcalf
If Kentucky spent anything remotely close to $22 million for this season’s roster, one might expect more than a single top 50 player.
