Tshiebwe is back in Lexington getting the lay of the land. While he is not eligible to play, he can participate in practice and it seems that he is already helping the team by pushing them in workouts.

“He gives you a presence,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said during his weekly call-in show on Monday.” And here’s the other thing I’m doing. Now we have a unit. We’ll have seven guys on one team getting those minutes, but that other group now becomes Big Oscar, where you’ve got size. You’ve got Cam Fletcher. You still have Dontaie (Allen) shooting balls. Still have Lance (Ware) being physical and doing his thing.”

While a few of those guys still get minutes, it sounds like the second string is getting some great work in during practice. And with Big Oscar banging underneath, it causes the starters to have to bring their best day-in and day-out.
