Wake Forest post player Olivier Sarr announced today he is placing his name in the NCAA transfer portal. The seven foot Frenchman averaged 13.7 points, nine rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game last season for the Demon Deacons. Sarr told ESPN that he was leaving open the option of returning to Wake Forest after talking with new coach Steve Forbes, hired on Thursday. He added if he could not transfer and be eligible next season, he may go overseas and play professionally.
Adidas has filed a lawsuit against the father of former Louisville recruit Brian Bowen II and two others alleging they conspired with some of its employees to misappropriate the apparel company’s money to pay players’ families to steer them toward Adidas-sponsored schools. Brian Bowen II never played for Louisville but the incident was one of the components which led to the dismissal of then coach Rick Pitino and then athletic director Tom Jurich.
