Dick Vitale says NCAA has ruled Olivier Sarr eligible, but UK still waiting on SEC waiver

So...after months of speculation as to whether or not the NCAA would grant a transfer waiver to Olivier Sarr, it may have already happened.

According to ESPN commentator Dick Vitale, the NCAA has already granted a waiver to Sarr, but Kentucky is still waiting to get a waiver from the SEC (which we wrote about Monday).

BBN FYI the @NCAA has cleared OLIVIER SARR about 2 months ago to be eligible to play but the holdup is that the @SEC must grant a waiver due to a rule they have that states if a player that transfers has 1 yr of eligibility he must sit out .
