Four-star guard Adou Thiero is a newcomer on Kentucky’s roster, but he already has some history with the Cats’ biggest star. In an interview with Tom Leach this morning, Quaker Valley coach Mike Mastroianni said Thiero’s first points as a high schooler came against Oscar Tshiebwe. Prior to the start of Thiero’s freshman season, Quaker Valley scrimmaged Moon Area High School, John Calipari’s alma mater, and Kennedy Catholic, whose roster featured 6’9″ 250 lbs. senior center Oscar Tshiebwe, who would later be named a McDonald’s All-American.
“We don’t start Adou in the first quarter, but in the second quarter we throw him in as a 5-10 guard,” Mastroianni said.
