Ugonna Onyenso confirms return for next season as his hype continues to grow

The Kentucky Wildcats are officially in “next year” mode as the 2022-23 season came to a close in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Looking ahead to the 2023-24 season, the Cats are bringing in the No. 1 overall recruiting class and could still return players from this past season.

One player that has already announced his return is center Ugonna Onyenso, and the hype around the 7-footer is growing.

In an interview with the Herald-Leader over the weekend, Onyenso confirmed he’ll return to UK for his sophomore season.

“I’ll be back here next season,” Onyenso said.
