276. Adou Thiero: Late Bloomer

The Hog Pod with Bo Mattingly

In this episode, we dive into the remarkable journey of Adou Thiero, a rising star on the Arkansas Razorbacks basketball team. From a late growth spurt and being overlooked in high school to earning a senior-year offer from John Calipari at Kentucky, Adou’s story is one of perseverance and transformation. We explore his connection to Calipari, who also coached Adou’s father at Memphis, and how that bond shaped his approach to the game. Adou shares insights into his challenging freshman year, his decision to transfer to Arkansas, and the transformative summer that elevated his game.

Now thriving with the Hogs, Adou reflects on his personal growth, the “dog-eat-dog” mentality that fuels his play, and the legacy he hopes to build in Fayetteville. It’s a story of grit, determination, and a relentless drive to prove himself on the court.
