Kentucky basketball received good news on a pair of fronts this week. Transfers Olivier Sarr and Jacob Toppin were both granted eligibility waivers to play for the Wildcats in 2020-21. And heralded prospect Skyy Clark committed to the Cats for 2022. Lexington Herald-Leader and Kentucky.com basketball recruiting reporter Ben Roberts joined sports columnist John Clay to talk about the developments and other UK recruiting news.
