Kentucky Basketball Recruiting: More pro-UK buzz for Oscar Tshiebwe

Kentucky’s interest in—and recruitment of—Oscar Tshiebwe has moved quickly.

Kentucky coaches watched Tshiebwe during the end of the July live period, and that’s when John Calipari really started showing interest. Sunday, Tshiebwe cut his list to four, included Kentucky, and scheduled his visit to Lexington.

The five-star big man seems highly likely to commit to Kentucky if he gets his offer, and him getting an offer is likely to happen as well.

According to Kentucky Sports Radio’s Jack Pilgrim, there’s a significant chance that Tshiebwe gets his offer and then commits to Kentucky.

Sources tell KSR that there is a significant chance Tshiebwe earns that offer and ends up in Kentucky’s class of 2019.
