Ex-Wake Forest center Olivier Sarr transferring to Kentucky

Former Wake Forest center Olivier Sarr said Wednesday he is transferring to Kentucky, giving the Wildcats an experienced 7-footer after the team’s entire starting lineup declared for the NBA draft. ”He gives us a veteran, established player who has not only played on a big stage and played well, he wants this next challenge,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said in a statement. Sarr, a 255-pound junior from France, told ESPN last week he had entered the transfer portal.
