Oscar Tshiebwe...

Yep, Patterson was actually from West Virginia while Oscar is actually from Africa. Gonna be entertaining to see Eer fans throw a fit after he commits to UK soon.
Funny thing is Huntington WV should be an extension of Kentucky. Those kids down there get brainwashed early to hate Morgantown and WVU. Also Lexington to Huntington 1 hour away. Morgantown to Huntington 3 1/2 hours. Oscar will be a Mountaineer
Oscar told our staff he wants to be the man in the post. I think UK is going to find out that not prioritizing him above other post players is going to hurt them in this.
Yeah, if only John Calipari would figure this darn recruiting thing out.
BTW, how do you know what Oscar told Illinois' coaching staff? Coaches aren't allowed to talk about a recruit, so I'm interested to know how you got this information.
My take, I think he's West Virginia's to lose.
If only there was a website that relayed the things a recruit says to the coaches to the fans! I might even go as far as to pay ten dollars a month for a service like that. If only.
Well, good luck, maybe the ball will bounce the right way for Illinois for once, probably won't, but good luck.
I think WV has the best chance. Illinois did a fantastic job on his visit. I think we have the lead at the moment from what he told our guys, but it's far from over.
It’s been down to UK and West Virginia for a month or so. Illinois never was and never will be in contention to land him.
Never say never. I don’t remember Tennessee being mentioned as a option for Josiah James.
They're likely gonna need to replace 4 bigs next year: Reid and Washington for certain, Richards and Montgomery more than likely. One big body ain't gonna cut it.
Well whatever happens with Stewart and Tshiebwe I think it's brilliant to get them on campus together. They are the same size, undersized centers. 1) You get them to build a rapport with each other and convince them they can both eat as much cake as they want. Increase your chances of landing both. Or 2) Maybe they realize they can't play together for whatever reason and perhaps it forces the hand of one to commit because he doesn't want the other guy taking his spot. I can't really see the negative of getting them both on campus at the same time. It sounds to me like Stewart is very enamored with UK at this point.
I'd just love to see them play pick up with Washington and Travis.
Is it possible for 4 guys to latch onto a rebound and fight for it for an hour?

I just hope he used up all his inner Jarred Vanderbilt in the Bahamas. He was making a habit of bricking 2-3 footers.

Oscar wont be there until tomorrow. Surprised they couldn't get him in for the full weekend.
Huggs was out of coaching during most of Patterson's recruitment. Didn't recruit him to k-state or wvu. Only got to wvu weeks before PP signed with UK.
He's been recruiting Oscar since the 9th grade. First to offer him. Pretty much hand picked the high schools he attended and the host family he lives with.
By the way... Huggs would have signed Patterson, Mayo, and Walker (all 5 star Huntington, wv kids) if he would have stayed at cincy.
From what he and his guardian told our staff, I think we have it at the moment. He really likes the sell that Orlando Antigua gave him on the bigs he developed while at UK. He had a really good visit. Will it last? Probably not.
Also, your percentages:
Nothing noteworthy, but I sold Mayo's family 3 cars when he lived in Kentucky.
He was born in huntington.
Mayo and Bill Walker moved to cincy and played at north college hill.
Mayo might have lived in ashland for a minute too, but that's basically Huntington.

0% chance any of that is true. Lol
100% chance this is wishful thinking. If what he told our staff is false, then WVU probably doesn't have a shot in hell, and the reasons he liked our visit won't matter for you.
UK: 100%
Everyone else: 0%
Yeah,I didn't realize he was born in WV. I used to manage Don Franklins first store back in the day, and one of our salesmen would radio broadcast HS games. He brought them in and paid cash for 3 cars. No check,cash.
For when Oscar doesn't commit to WV:ok
