The whole gang is in Lexington, ready to hoop.
Wednesday night the University of Kentucky announced that Olivier Sarr and Jacob Toppin will be eligible to play for the Wildcats this season after transferring from Wake Forest and Rhode Island, respectively. A decision Kentucky fans expected for months, you could hear a collective sigh of relief around the BBN once the news became official and John Calipari released this statement.
“I’m excited for Olivier and Jacob,” UK head coach John Calipari said. “Both have worked really hard and deserve this opportunity. They were both hopping and skipping out of my office after getting the news because they’ve been waiting on this day.
