West Virginia Mountaineers transfer Oscar Tshiebwe has officially signed with the Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball team, the school announced Thursday.
“Kentucky just felt like the perfect place for me,” Tshiebwe said in a press release. “I love the way they play, the coaches’ players-first approach and just how Kentucky felt like home to me. I’m looking forward to coming in and helping the team this year in practice and I can’t wait to compete for Big Blue Nation.”
Tshiebwe, a 6-9, 260-pound forward with a 7-5 wingspan, will join the team immediately but sit out until the 2021-22 season due to NCAA transfer rules.
