Oweh's visit snuck up on everyone. After a few days of silence on his recruitment, it was reported on Thursday that he was already in Lexington.

Oweh is a 6-foot-5, 215-pound scoring wing who is tough and athletic. Oweh averaged 11.4 points, 3.8 rebounds and shot 37.7 prcent from three this year at Oklahoma.

While he shot a healthy percent from three, he's a slasher at heart with 61 percent of his field goal attempts coming at the rim. He uses his frame to get to the rim at will, nearly four attempts per game, but only shoots 64.3 percent.

When Oweh doesn't attack the rim, he is best as a spot up shooter, ranking in the 87th percentile last season in catch and shoot opportunities.

Oweh's athleticism and toughness on the wing would be a terrific fit on both ends of the floor.
