In an emotional and fast-growing social media campaign, Kentucky Wildcats fans have launched the hashtag #StayWithUs in a bid to convince star guard Otega Oweh to return for another season rather than declare for the 2025 NBA Draft.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The movement gained momentum over the weekend as reports surfaced suggesting that Oweh, fresh off a breakout season, was seriously considering taking his talents to the professional level. In response, fans took to platforms like X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok to share messages of support, highlight reels, and personal appeals aimed at persuading the sophomore standout to stay in Lexington.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s the heart of this team,\u201d one fan posted. \u201cWe\u2019ve got unfinished business. Run it back, Otega. #StayWithUs.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Several notable former Wildcats have joined the conversation, praising Oweh\u2019s development and encouraging him to consider the legacy he could leave behind by staying one more year. Even local businesses are showing their support, with some offering perks or promotions tied to Oweh\u2019s decision.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Oweh has not yet made a public statement, but with the draft declaration deadline looming, the pressure\u2014and the love\u2014is mounting. Whether or not he returns, one thing is clear: Kentucky fans aren\u2019t ready to let go just yet.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
