Otega Oweh Goes Nuclear at CP3 & Tatum Vegas Camp — Kentucky’s Breakout Catalyst for a 2026 Title Run”
Kentucky superstar **Otega Oweh** stepped onto the national stage this summer by attending the *Chris Paul & Jayson Tatum Elite Camp* in Las Vegas (July 29–August 1), rubbing shoulders with the most elite wings and guards in the college game. The event hosted top names from schools like Purdue, Michigan, Alabama, UConn and Duke, with NBA scouts from all 30 teams on hand to evaluate talent .
This camp wasn’t just another summer showcase—it was a proving ground. Oweh’s elite physicality, improved perimeter shooting, and two‑wayi instincts stood out in drills and live action. Known for his slashing and finishing prowess and now showing improved catch-and-shoot mechanics, he further solidified his reputation as a dual-threat performer capable of steering Kentucky’s offense into new waters .
Already the Wildcats’ leading scorer last year (16.2 PPG) and a Second-Team All‑SEC selection, Oweh made headlines with heroic game-winners, including a career-high 28 points against his former team, Oklahoma, and another last-second buzzer‑beater in the SEC Tournament .
More importantly, his return for the 2025–26 season was a turning point for Big Blue Nation.
After entering the NBA Draft process—attending the Combine and working out for NBA teams—he ultimately withdrew and recommitted to Kentucky, driven by unfinished business and a championship vision. Head coach Mark Pope recalled the unforgettable moment Oweh called mid‑flight to say, “Coach, let’s do this. I’m coming back,” nearly prompting the pilot to eject him for celebrating too loudly.
Now, following camp workouts and drills, observers note a sharper shooter, a more vocal leader, and an on-court presence poised to elevate Kentucky’s chemistry and toughness this season. With his leadership, elite physical tools, and enhanced skill set, Oweh could be the secret weapon Kentucky needs to make a 2026 national title charge.
In Las Vegas, Otega Oweh didn’t just attend—he announced himself as the catalyst Kentucky needs to leap to the next level.
