That Oscar article is something else, man. To leap into the fan favorite territory he's found isn't an easy feat. We're talking special air for a guy that's only been visible for like 8 months. I always though Huggins was a drunk, but at least a decent dude outside of that. How big of a f*cking c*cksucker do you have to be to attack a guy like Oscar?
“Every conversation we’ve had — me, Cal, Nate, everybody — it’s been about how we can get this done so Oscar can help his mom,” said T.J. Beisner, who oversees all things NIL for UK basketball. “The urgency hasn’t been about getting him a cool car or new clothes, although he certainly deserves those things. It was about creating an avenue to take care of his family and help people back home.”
To that end, Tshiebwe was delighted to reveal to The Athletic on Monday that the wheels are now in motion to get his mother to the U.S. in time to watch him play in the NCAA Tournament.
“I’m so thankful to God, I don’t even know what to say. I’m just excited,” Tshiebwe said. “That means a lot to me. When I see my mom, I’ll probably cry like a baby. To be able to do this and help my mom is one of the best things in my life. I’ve come from a long way away and always try to find a way to take care of my family, and now God has opened the doors.”
“I tell her if she’ll be there, I’ll probably drop like 50 and 30,” he said, laughing. “I tell my teammates if my mama is there and they pass me the ball, if it touches my hands, it’s not going back.”
