MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — For 36 seasons the recruiting battles for West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins have involved phone calls, in-home visits and across-the-country scouting trips in search of players.
“You’re happy with each one you get,” Huggins said. “But you’re happy for different reasons.”
Five-star recruit Oscar Tshiebwe made Huggins and his coaching staff very happy Saturday when the 6-foot-8, 230-pound forward announced his commitment to West Virginia.
Tshiebwe, a native of Congo who attends Kennedy Catholic in Hermitage, Pa., chose the Mountaineers over finalists Kentucky, Baylor and Illinois.
Tshiebwe announced his decision via his Instagram web page.
