Huggs Knows Talent! He only runs off THE BEST!!

Doing exact same thing as he did here. Rebound and put back. We know you hate Huggins. You post it constantly.

I bet you think LeBron sucks also… lol “all he does is use his God given talent, without the size, handles, shooting and rebounding ability, he has nothing!”

I wonder what compelled Oscar to be so "out of shape" last year and playing like a man possessed this year.

If you're serious about performing at the highest level, why go all in your freshman year, slack off in the offseason, transfer, then go all in again.

Probably wasn’t really out of shape. I’m taking our fellow posters words for it, but I have my doubts this narrative is true.

Huggins did. Just like how every other player that year came in out of shape. Wait, Oscar was the only one despite all the other players having Huggins in common. Maybe your inference is bunk.

But to answer your question, its easy what compelled him. You come in as a freshman to the big show and want to make yourself known. You have a good year where you get all of the plaudits you want and you buy your own press that you are the center of WVU basketball. The pandemic gives a convenient excuse to avoid the gym and why should you go when you are the savior of the program. Your lack of performance and effort gets your *** time on the pine. You react like a child by making the authoritarian that correctly pointed out your failures the "bad guy". You then go off and use that anger to "prove you were right."

Have you never met a child or teenager? Hell have you ever been one? Maybe you never matured beyond this way of thinking which is why you cannot recognize it.

Oscar is to blame for letting himself get out of playing shape and then putting forth a pitiful effort. Matthews is irrelevant as WVU was worse off when both Culver and Oscar were on the court together. It really was a binary choice between Culver and Oscar as to who got the lion's share of playing time. Had Oscar gotten it, it is still more likely he either leaves WVU after the season or fails to become the player he has at Kentucky without that motivation he got from being called out at WVU.

Yeah, he owes US! We called him out! That's what made him go from a McD AA to WVU second stringer to Wooden POY...we didn't put up with it, and he KNEW he had been called out by Mountaineer Nation and vowed to rectify it or forever live in shame. Man, we are GOOD!!

He owed WVU a solid effort and he stopped doing that after one year.
Cases like this happen in every aspect of life. Suppose someone gets too high on themselves or decides to rest on their laurels. If they get roughly the same treatment as they were if/when performing at high level, they do not strive for better. If they get knocked down a peg or feel like they've been slighted, they may just use that as motivation to achieve.

Hell it so common sports movies use it. Rocky III is the almost this exact case. The only thing that would make that movie's concept and Oscar's situation identical would be: If after Rocky lost the first fight, he went on to trash Mick like he was a piece of garbage trainer and was the primary reason for the loss. Before going to the new trainer Apollo and putting in the work Mick begged Rocky to do in the first damn place.
