LEXINGTON – John Calipari may have found the big man he needed for the 2019-20 roster.

Wake Forest center Olivier Sarr announced on Twitter Wednesday that he has committed to Kentucky.

Since Sarr has not graduated yet, NCAA rules would require him to sit out next season as a transfer, but he has told ESPN he will apply for a waiver to play immediately.

Sarr's case for a waiver to play right away is clear since Wake Forest fired the coach who convinced him to return to school next season, but with the NCAA likely delaying a vote on transfer reform until January, his status for next season remains uncertain.
