Dick Vitale believes Olivier Sarr will be eligible at Kentucky this season

While uncertainty continues to linger regarding Olivier Sarr’s waiver fight for immediate eligibility, one prominent voice in basketball believes the NCAA will ultimately decide to approve the Wake Forest transfer’s request.

In a string of recent tweets and conversations with various media members, ESPN’s Dick Vitale has said he feels Sarr will be eligible to play at Kentucky this season.

“Great news for [UCLA] having [Johnny Juzang] eligible as he will help [coach Mick Cronin] but also super news for [Kentucky] for [Olivier Sarr] being declared eligible by [the NCAA],” Vitale tweeted at the time of former UK guard Johnny Juzang being granted immediate eligibility earlier in the week.
