Former Missouri Forward Mark Mitchell Commits to Kentucky
The former Missouri star averaged 18.3 points and 5.2 rebounds last season after a Kentucky judge granted him temporary eligibility.
- On Saturday, August 22, former Missouri basketball standout Mark Mitchell committed to the University of Kentucky for the 2026-27 season, one day after a Kentucky court granted him a temporary restraining order enabling his transfer.
- Jefferson Circuit Court Judge Brian Edwards granted the temporary restraining order on Friday, allowing Mitchell and other athletes to enter the transfer portal despite NCAA restrictions on the 2022 high school graduating class.
- The 6-foot-9 forward has started 133 games over his college career and averaged 18.3 points per game last season at Missouri, positioning him as a significant addition to Kentucky's roster.
- Southeastern Conference Commissioner Greg Sankey opposed the return of players who signed professional contracts, citing "significant roster instability" as a potential consequence in court documents regarding Mitchell.
- The NCAA vowed to fight these cases, meaning Mitchell's eligibility could be rescinded on appeal; Kentucky is scheduled to visit Missouri on January 9, 2027, in a matchup that could showcase both teams.
