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