Late last week, it was reported that freshman Ugonna Onyenso plans to enter the transfer portal. This came after the young big man didn’t see much playing time last season, but the assumption was he knew that would likely be the case with the goal of learning behind former National Player of the Year Oscar Tshiebwe, then playing a significant role this coming fall.
The report also came before Tshiebwe announced he would enter his name to the NBA Draft while maintaining his college eligibility. It’s worth noting that people around the program also believe there’s a real chance Tshiebwe returns for a third season in Lexington.
