Huggins expects Tshiebwe to be clear of visa problems by November

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. — West Virginia’s effort to clear freshman forward Oscar Tshiebwe of his visa restriction to allow him to travel to Spain went up until the day left for the exhibition tour, Bob Huggins said Wednesday.

“It’s not going to be a problem,” the West Virginia head coach said. “It was at that particular time, but everything changes.”

Tshiebwe, a five-star recruit from the Democratic Republic of Congo, was not be cleared by Spain to enter its border.

Tshiebwe, who first came to the United States as a high school freshmen, is in this country on a student visa.
