Wake Forest big man Olivier Sarr has committed to Kentucky. Now, the question becomes, will the NCAA grant his waiver for immediate eligibility, or make him sit out a season?
As of now, it looks like the NCAA will not pass the one-time transfer rule this year, but Sarr has a pretty good case for a waiver. When Sarr was considering testing the NBA Draft waters in April, the school told him Danny Manning would return and Manning himself talked Sarr into coming back for another season instead of going pro.
“I wanted to test the [NBA draft] waters,” Sarr told ESPN last week.
