Oscar Tshiebwe...

Ok... Winking

We can make a bet if you want. Sig bet, ban bet, $$.... you name it.
I propose that the loser has to fellate the winner of said bet until one of them can’t see straight.

Any seconds on the motion?

Bill tore his ACL in 9th grade

and still had trouble with his knee at K-State and it was never reported
his knee was still damaged when he got drafted
this info came from someone very close to him
i will leave it at that

do you know why they left Rose Hill
nothing bad just why they left
 
So, back to Oscar... I haven't heard much after his visit from Kentucky. I still think WVU is in the drivers seat, followed by Illinois.

Thats common knowledge about Walker.

Not sure why they left.
 
I’m awful at these predictions but read that people around Oscar are pushing WVU hard while he favors UK. Seems to me like in these cases the people around the player usually win.

This is not even remotely true. When UK loses this, every Kentucky fan and/or beat writers will say Calipari moved on. Its so f'ing predictable.

Would love to see Richards and/or Montgomery back next year, although it is probably unlikely for either one. Especially for Richards if he continues to show the improvement he showed in the Bahamas.
If Richards continues to improve, he's a lottery pick. The NBA scouts at the Bahamas were super impressed.

*ahem* Post #161
I'm convinced from this thread alone. Seriously, would be surprised if he didn't end up at WVU.
Sometimes we get beat for recruits. We just got beat yesterday to UF, and no one said we moved on.

I'm afraid he tells staffs what they want to hear, but I am a fan of all of the love he's throwing towards Illinois on his twitter. Especially like that he was liking and retweeting Illinois stuff on his UK visit.

Laughing ok, you'll see

wvu lock, and we're final four contenders every year from now until huggs retires

and UK has already offered.

Rivals needs to update their rankings. No way hes outside the top 20. He's #19 on 247 now.

You lost the guard tandem that put the press in your man to man. The Big 12 still goes through Lawrence. You won't be able to match up with KU's depth around the hoop.
 
Nah, his skill level is too poor. Late first at best

Maybe. His post game does leave a lot to be desired but he’s an absolute freak athlete. And a near 80% free throw shooter. He has amazing touch for his size. And he showed a nice array of hook shots and a 15-18 foot jumper in the Bahamas. I’d say his footwork down low is what needs work more than anything. As well as his motor. He’s not the rebounder he should be. Needs to be more physical as well.

With his athleticism and touch though I don’t think lottery is out of the question. A lot of the best big prospects left after last season and this incoming class wasn’t great on big men. Outside of bol bol who is there? Montgomery is supposedly very skilled but lacks the explosiveness and plays below the rim. If Richards is going to go lottery this is the year.
 
Does remind me a bit of Patrick Patterson. Though, PPat had a pretty polished offensive game and could knock down 3’s. Tshiebwe is more of an athletic two way guy. Will probably struggle if not in transition, at least as freshman.

Konate/Dok
Ahmad/DLawson
Culver/DeSousa
West/McCormack
Routt/Lightfoot

The Mountaineers still have a JUCO big down low, where Kansas could play KLawson as a big.. But, West Virginia looks to have the horses to match Kansas around the hoop.

Esp if anything goes south in regards to DeSousa/eligibility.

WVU might have the very best front court in the country... our depth and talent around the hoop is as good as it gets in college basketball. All starts with Konate and Ahmad there.... Culver will be a big addition too. We have a bunch of big talented bodies.

We did lose those 2 senior guards, but we have some really good ones ready to take over. Don't be surprised if we're a better team than we were last year.

But yes, the Big 12 obviously always goes through Lawrence, and KU will be loaded this season.

With all the OOC round robins and such, I'm looking forward to when we can't play KU, and instead get a return game for the SEC/Big 12 match up in Rupp. I'm sure you all are looking for a little revenge.

I'd love to get a game at Rupp.

We blew several leads last season, but that UK game was the worst for me. Still haven't gotten over it.

Up 17 or 18 with 15 minutes to go and still lost.... Eyeroll

Wes Harris too
 
Funny to see the UK sources saying what our sources were saying about Oscar feeling resentment for being pushed to WV and him pushing back against that. Same thing happened with Francis Okoro. Seeing some similarities in that recruitment. Think the kid wants to make his own decision here despite all of the pressure to go to WV.

I think your guys just ran out of gas. We've done that a few other times against other opponents

LSU down 31 with 15 + to go.
Duke down 17 with 9 to go. We erased that lead in less than 3 min.
Kansas down 12 with 2 min to go.

We go 15 deep this year, oh boy, y'all in for some pain with pressvirginia this year.

Give me Oregon on best front court, recruiting sites are going to regret not having okoro as a 5 Star, Bol Bol speaks for itself and Wooten is a underrated shot blocking freak

Okoro is still pretty raw. I think high four star is right. Oscar is the elite version of him.

Thats just dumb. Theres definitely no resentment. No pressure to commmit soon either. Wvu offered him years ago and stuck with him all the way. Think theyre suddenly gonna rush him after recruiting him for 2 or 3 years? Huggs was recruiting oscar and had a great relationahip with him before kentucky or anybody else knew who he was.

I was telling this bord about him a year or 2 ago when he wasnt even rated and didnt have a recruiting profile online.

It's not pressure from WVU. Two separate sources have reported it independently. Think there's some merit to it.
 
....then there's those last 2 times the teams played each other... Laughing

I wasn't much worried about the last NCAA meeting where we got destroyed, I knew that was going to happen. Our style of play was absolutely polar opposite of what was needed to beat that UK team.

The last game tho, We had that game in the bag and shit it away....that one hurt.
