That's FALSE. Oscar didn't even say that. He said Kentucky was his dream school. He didn't say Cal was his dream coach.No the guy that wanted to come here, was basically forced to go to WVU, then jumped at the first chance to play for Cal. That guy.
“When it came time to sign, I don’t know where my mind was,” Tshiebwe said back in June. “… I was always like, even when I played for West Virginia, ‘I wish I could play for Kentucky, that was my dream school.’ (My mom) didn’t like that, she was like, ‘Why didn’t you make your move the first time?'”
“I didn’t know anything about college basketball,” said Tshiebwe. “The first time I came to the U.S., we stayed in a school dorm and everyone – my teammates when we were living together – everybody was talking about Kentucky. Every time Kentucky was on TV, we were watching Kentucky.”
At first, the 6-foot-9 center didn’t understand why his teammates turned on the television when Kentucky played, but not when other colleges such as Duke and North Carolina took the floor. Their answer? “Kentucky is a school that’s like professional basketball.”
Tshiebwe’s eyes lit up, quickly responding back, “Wow, I probably need to go there.”
