Mark Mitchell - College Basketball News & Rumors

Regains eligibility Friday Mitchell is again eligible to play for Missouri, Joe Tipton of On3.com reports.

Impact This reverses Mitchell's prior ineligible status and restores availability for Missouri's frontcourt. His clearance is a major development after his status for the 2026-27 season was in question. If that doesn't change between now and the start of the season, Mitchell should be a key player for the Tigers.

Ruled ineligible for 2026-27 Mitchell has been ruled ineligible for the 2026-27 season after the NCAA won its court case in Kentucky, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Mitchell is coming off a career year in his fourth season of college ball, averaging 18.3 points, 5.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists while starting all 33 games. The 6-9 forward planned to return to Missouri for a fifth year, but his eligibility has just been stripped in court. With a month remaining before the season starts, Mitchell still has a chance to regain his eligibility, but if he's indeed unable to play this season, it would be a massive blow to the Tigers.

Likely to miss season opener Mitchell is not currently allowed to play for Kentucky after staying in the NBA draft and going unselected, Kyle Tucker of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Mitchell, who just committed to Kentucky, stayed in the NBA draft but wasn't selected. However, the new SEC rules, not to mention their in-conference transfer rule, which were also recently reiterated, mean he's not allowed to play. This leaves Kentucky without the forward for now, despite his recent commitment to the program. His eligibility status remains unresolved, so his availability for the Wildcats is uncertain until rules-based clearance is addressed.
