Olivier Sarr is a KENTUCKY WILDCAT


Listen Later

Olivier Sarr is officially a Kentucky Wildcat, and the Sources Say Podcast is back to break down everything you need to know about the newest addition.

KSR's Jack Pilgrim is joined once again by Travis Graf and David Sisk of Cats Illustrated to discuss the Wake Forest transfer's game, the recruiting process, whether or not Sarr is expected to be eligible next season, and who else Kentucky is looking to add to close out the 2020-21 roster.

To start the show, the Sources Say crew breaks down Sarr as a player and what kind of on-court impact he can make at Kentucky.

  • Just how good can Sarr - who earned All-ACC Third Team honors and was named ACC Most Improved Player runner-up in 2020 - be at Kentucky?
  • Will he back up up his status as the most talented transfer of this recruiting cycle?
  • How does Sarr fit in with the other pieces in Lexington?
  • Then, Pilgrim, Graf, and Sisk discuss Sarr's recruitment and just how quickly things came together in favor of the Wildcats.

    • After speculation of immediate mutual interest, just how fast did the Kentucky coaching staff reach out?
    • How early did UK feel confident they could land the 7-foot center?
    • Were there any other serious contenders?
    • How crucial was it for UK to close the deal on this commitment in particular?
    • Did Steve Forbes' jab at Kentucky's academic situation help or hurt? Or had Sarr already decided by then?
    • The crew then dives into the waiver process and the likelihood the NCAA allows Sarr to suit up next season.

      • Why unprecedented times call for unprecedented decisions, including immediate transfer waivers to be passed
      • What will the newest Wildcat's argument be with the NCAA? Does he make a solid case?
      • What does Kentucky know about the process? Does the staff expect a decision in their favor?
      • To close out the show, they break down the final options Kentucky is looking at to close out the roster and the likelihood of their respective additions.

        • Who is left for the Wildcats? Do they have someone specific in mind?
        • UK remains in contact with four-star center Frank Anselem and Evansville transfer DeAndre Williams. Who is more likely to join?
        • What do fans need to know about both players?
        • When could we hear of a final addition?
