Another big-team transfer gets waiver to play this season

Alabama transfer and brother to Tua Tagovailoa, Taulia Tagovailoa, has been granted immediate eligibility by the NCAA to play this season at Maryland.

Taulia spent this past season as a freshman at Alabama, getting minimal playing time behind Tua and Mac Jones, and he eventually transferred out of the program due to playing time.

This could be seen as good news for two Kentucky Wildcats in Joey Gatewood and Olivier Sarr, who are still currently waiting their approval of their transfer waiver.

And in Sarr’s case, he may have the best case of any transfer in the country, as he did not transfer for playing time, but because his coach was fired, and he no time to declare for the NBA Draft during the original deadline.
