Jeff Borzello over at ESPN.com’s college basketball operation has a good story on Kentucky’s Olivier Sarr and how his immediate eligibility will impact the Cats (and the Cats’ opponents) this upcoming season. Borzello reached out to coaches from Sarr’s old conference, the ACC, and Sarr’s new conference, the SEC, as well as coaches from other parts of the country to get a feel for expectations for Sarr in Lexington.
The story is behind a pay wall but I’ll share a couple examples before sending you over to ESPN.com for the full quotes.
Like this one from an anonymous ACC coach who sounds like a hater:
“All these transfers, particularly the immediately eligible ones, they’re not going to make that much improvement,” a third ACC coach said.
