Wake Forest Coach Steve Forbes Wonders Why Transfer Olivier Sarr Would Want to Finish Degree ‘at a place like Kentucky’

New Wake Forest head coach Steve Forbe delivered an interesting message to big man Olivier Sarr, who recently enter the transfer portal.

“I think the most important thing is, why would you go to Wake for three years, put all that time in for a prestigious degree, and end up getting your degree at a place like Kentucky?” Forbes said he asked Sarr. “That got a chuckle out of him. That’s no disrespect to Kentucky, I obviously respect them, but you know what I mean. I just think there’s a lot to be said for putting all that work in academically and not being able to finish what you started. I know those things are all important to him, and he’s said that.”
