Report: Kentucky is a Strong Option for Olivier Sarr

Kentucky has reportedly been in contact with Wake Forest transfer Olivier Sarr.

A source told David Sisk of Cats Illustrated that an ACC coach says Kentucky will be a strong option to land the 7-foot transfer.

Sarr officially entered the NCAA transfer portal on Tuesday. Steve Forbes, the new head coach at Wake Forest, is still trying to convince Sarr to remain with the Demon Deacons.

The Wake Forest coach even took a shot at Kentucky on a radio show.

“I told him ‘Why would you want to go to Wake for 3 years and then graduate from a place like Kentucky?’”

I’m sure BBN will appreciate this quote by Forbes on re-recruiting Sarr.

“I told him ‘Why would you want to go to Wake for 3 years and then graduate from a place like Kentucky?’”

He was joking, I think. https://t.co/BzXSHGC5oX
