West Virginia transfer Oscar Tshiebwe has committed to play for Kentucky, he announced Sunday, according to CBS Sports' Gary Parrish.
The former four-star recruit earned All-Big 12 Newcomer distinction as a freshman in 2019-20 after averaging 11.2 points, 9.3 rebounds, and one block in 31 appearances with the Mountaineers. He initially declared for the 2020 NBA Draft but later withdrew his name.
Tshiebwe is averaging 8.5 points and 7.8 rebounds through 10 games this season. West Virginia announced on Jan. 1 that the sophomore forward was stepping away from the program.
Kentucky has won its last three contests after a 1-6 start.
