No, Kentucky has not received word from the NCAA regarding Olivier Sarr’s waiver request.
There is, however, confidence within the program that the talented 7-foot center will ultimately be deemed eligible to play this season in Lexington.
In a conference call with Kentucky media members this morning, UK head coach John Calipari said the Wake Forest transfer’s paperwork is all in and the program feels “confident” the NCAA will approve his waiver when it comes time for a final decision.
“The Olivier [paperwork] has been in, we’re waiting to hear,” Calipari said. “We feel confident, but you never know till you hear he’s good to go.
