The UCLA Bruins are doing whatever they can to get the men’s basketball program back on track for the 2024-2025 season. The Bruins have reached out to a number of players in the portal.
Perhaps the biggest player on their radar is Oklahoma Sooners star Otega Oweh. Oweh entered the portal and has been contacted by a large number of programs, per Dylan Lutey. The programs that have expressed early interest in Oweh include Oregon, Illinois, BYU, Georgetown, Missouri, Wake Forest, Utah, Virginia Tech, Washington, Indiana, Xavier, and LSU along with the Bruins.
Milos Uzan and John Hugley are two other Sooners who entered the portal at the end of the season, so there are a lot of changes coming in Norman for the men’s team.
Oweh was the second-leading scorer for the Sooners at 11.2 PPG with 3.7 rebounds and had 16 points in the Sooners’ final game against TCU.
He just finished his sophomore campaign so he has a lot of eligibility left and will be an intriguing option in the portal.
