Sources Say Podcast Ep. 58: Five-star forward Daimion Collins joins the show!

KSR’s Jack Pilgrim is joined by David Sisk of Cats Illustrated and Shawn Smith of Go Big Blue Country for episode 58 of the Sources Say Podcast, where the trio discuss UK requesting immediate eligibility for Jacob Toppin, where things stand with Olivier Sarr, and the latest with Kentucky's top recruiting targets. Then, 2021 five-star forward Daimion Collins and his head coach, Jarrod Boston, join the show!

They start the show talking about Toppin and Sarr and why next week's decision by the NCAA regarding free eligibility for winter student-athletes is a game-changer for both.

Diving into the official NCAA and SEC rulebooks

By definition, Sarr should be cleared if the NCAA implements a blanket waiver for free eligibility this year

Kentucky submits a waiver request for Toppin. Big news or no big deal? 

Could UK use a player like Toppin this year?

The Sources Say crew then dives into the recruitments of Daimion Collins, Hunter Sallis, and Bryce Hopkins, specifically where Kentucky stands with each.
