If there are handlers involved they are not very savvy. Everyone who knows college basketball knows it is Huggins' way or the highway at WVU. That should not have been a surprise. Yep. Also seems the handlers and Tshiebwe wanted him to have a more of a greenlight to shoot from the perimeter.

Is he likely to make the Hoyas?

A skilled power forward would be a dream. You would have to make room for him. He’s quick, fluid, bouncy and can shoot. We don’t have that here now on the front line.

I guess by shoot you mean the midrange because he hasn’t even attempted a three in college. I don’t think he fits the team well despite obviously being a very strong talent. A line up with him and Q would be very tough to score with, especially considering Aminu and Jordan aren’t exactly known for their shooting prowess. Still he might be good enough to try to make it work regardless.

Just what we need. An allegedly talented player who walked on his previous program mid-season after apparently not fitting in and who has "guardians." Pass.

You have to love Coach Huggins, he calls it likes he sees it and does not sugar coat anything. Hearing past players who played for Huggins talk of him as an incredibly loyal guy if you show the same loyalty to the program. Sounds like Oscar had other ideas!!!!

I think we dodged a bullet not getting this guy last year v. Wahab. The centers were Stewart (didn't want us), Cockburn (unknown), Tshiebwe (didn't want us), and then Q. Q is going to be a better all around college player than 2 of the 3 of those guys (I'm throwing Stewart in because in one year he wouldn't have done jack for us).

If Oscar left a top 10 team ...he would have lasted 5 minutes with us.

He’s got skill though. More fluid and refined than anything we’ve currently got.

I would take him. We have BEE-LAY seeing game minutes for F’s sake.
Bob Huggins is now a saint? He seems like he can be quite a jag off & the West Virginia “culture” may not be what every athlete is looking for,

And I STILL cannot comprehend the level of negative sentiments toward Bile. Amazing.

Sibley & Kobe Clark not getting valuable game experience is main reason but you can turn to nauseating analytics or just use your own eyeballs. Mystery solved.

I understand those sentiments- but they do not justify being upset with Bile. All he is doing is playing when his number is called. He appears to be hustling. There is no reason to dislike the guy.
