Oscar Tshiebwe<\/a><\/strong> has yet to announce any plans regarding his future, although it\u2019s expected he\u2019ll test the NBA Draft waters to help determine which is more profitable, his current path in the pros or a super-senior season at Kentucky and NIL. <\/p>\n

As we wait for news from Oscar, it\u2019s worth passing along two items of note. First, a tweet from Oscar\u2019s agent Nate Conley late last night, which shows Oscar working out at a gym in Charlotte. As you can see, he\u2019s wearing Kentucky gear and showing off an improved three-point shot. In the caption, Conley tags a BBN Twitter account and says \u201cStay tuned.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seth Greenberg thinks Oscar will return to Kentucky<\/h2>\n

Secondly, at least one national media member \u2014 who is a good friend of John Calipari \u2014 believes Oscar will be back. During appearances on \u201cThe Dan Patrick Show\u201d<\/a> and \u201cThe Leach Report\u201d<\/a> this week, Seth Greenberg said he thinks Oscar will return for a final year at Kentucky, and that it would be a win-win for both sides.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why [Calipari has] got to complement it in the [transfer] portal,\u201d Greenberg told Patrick. \u201cHe\u2019s got to get Oscar Tshiebwe to come back, first and foremost, which I think he will actually end up coming back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s gotta complement DJ Wagner and that recruiting class. He\u2019s gotta complement them with juniors and seniors that will be great role players. Juniors and seniors in the portal that will basically coach their locker room.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw something the other day, McDonald\u2019s All-American Game, they interviewed that freshman class. And they said, we\u2019re going to be the freshman class that brings Coach Cal another championship. Those guys have no clue how hard college basketball is\u2026You can\u2019t win, I don\u2019t think with five freshmen, you need veteran maturity, toughness, that can coach your locker room that when you go and lose six of eight [games like UConn did].\u201d<\/p>\n

In his conversation with Tom Leach yesterday, Greenberg said the reason he thinks Oscar will be back is, it\u2019s the most logical solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy wouldn\u2019t he? That\u2019s my thing. It sounds silly because he would make more money at Kentucky than where his NBA stock is going to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greenberg also mentioned Oscar\u2019s legacy and impact on the community as additional reasons another season in Lexington makes sense but ultimately, said it comes down to money.<\/p>\n

\u201cFinancially, his value with NIL in that state, playing for Kentucky is far greater than his value [in the NBA]. And he\u2019s not ready. That\u2019s the most [important] thing. It\u2019s not a rite of passage. Guys think it\u2019s a rite of passage. It\u2019s just not that way. He needs to continue to improve. And I don\u2019t care if he\u2019s going to be 23, 24 years old, he needs to continue to improve. Going to the G-League or going overseas compared to playing at Kentucky? Come on man. It\u2019s two different worlds.\u201d<\/p>\n
