6-foot-5 senior guard Adou Thiero is a Wildcat, signing with the Kentucky basketball program this past weekend. He chose UK over offers from Cincinnati, Maryland, Pittsburgh and Xavier, among others.
What is Kentucky getting out of the late bloomer out of Leetsdale, PA? He averaged 23.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists, 3.9 steals and 2.3 blocks per game as a senior at Quaker Valley, leading his team to the Pennsylvania Class 4A title game.
Growing from 5-7 to 6-5 in high school and six inches over the past year-plus alone, Thiero was high school basketball’s best-kept secret.
