Now that he’s eligible to play this season, Olivier Sarr confirms Kentucky’s title-contending status

There’s a reason why the ruling over Olivier Sarr’s immediate eligibility was arguably the biggest talking point during this offseason for Big Blue.

Without Sarr being ruled eligible to play in Lexington this season, Kentucky would still be a pretty good team with the talent they had, but their ceiling seemed to have the feeling that it was capped.

However, with Sarr (and fellow incoming transfer Jacob Toppin, brother of Obi) getting the thumbs up to finish his collegiate career with the Cats this season, that ceiling could well be national champions for the ninth time in school history.
