Another day, another big man off the board for the Kentucky Wildcats.
On Saturday, five-star center Oscar Tshiebwe announced his commitment to the West Virginia Mountaineers.
Ahead of the decision, Tshiebwe had cut his list down to Kentucky, West Virginia, Illinois, and Baylor, though it was widely believed to be a two-horse race between the Wildcats and Mountaineers.
There is an interesting backstory as to why the Mountaineers overcame the allure of John Calipari and Kentucky Basketball: Tshiebwe lives with the same former host guardian family as current WVU big man Sagaba Konate, who lived where Tshiebwe is staying while playing for Kennedy Catholic in Hermitage, PA.
