1. Mark Mitchell to play for Missouri instead of UK

Among the dozens of players seeking a fifth year of eligibility, one of the most notable is Mark Mitchell, a two-time All-SEC starter who led Missouri with 18.3 ppg last season. He’s seeking an extra year through a Kentucky state court and had originally committed to Mark Pope and the Kentucky Wildcats.

However, that decision presented multiple issues. Not only did Mitchell have to win his state lawsuit to be eligible, the SEC has been adamantly opposed to players transferring within the conference outside of the designated transfer portal window in April. Therefore, Mitchell needed to sue the NCAA and potentially the SEC to play at Kentucky, two hurdles he seemingly deemed too difficult to clear.

Several teams in the SEC have been adding fifth-year talent in the past month, but none of the moves have been at the level of Mitchell, a proven SEC star. He takes Missouri from an intriguing team with talent to a legitimate contender in the SEC and beyond.

Here’s a look at Missouri’s new possible rotation if everyone’s eligible:

• Jason Crowe - 5-star freshman PG

• Jamier Jones - 11.9 ppg and 4.5 rpg as a freshman at Providence

• Trent Pierce - 10.4 ppg and 3.8 rpg

• Mark Mitchell - 18.3 ppg

• Bryson Tiller - 7.9 ppg and 6.1 rpg as a freshman at Kansas

Bench: 5-star forward Toni Bryant, Jaylen Carey (7.4 ppg and 6.0 rpg at Tennessee), Kennard Davis (8.5 ppg at BYU), Jordan Crawford (14.4 ppg at South Dakota), Cord Stansberry (14.1 ppg at Western Carolina).

For Kentucky, it’s a multi-layered blow: The Wildcats lose Mitchell while watching an SEC foe get significantly better with him. They also go from looking like a true Final Four contender to a team capable of getting there, but one few will expect to.

Still, the Wildcats aren’t without firepower with Iowa State transfer Milan Momcilovic leading a group that includes other key transfers, plus returners Malachi Moreno and Kam Williams.

2. SEC looks to make its move + other fifth-year news

The SEC has taken center stage in the latest chapter of the fifth-year eligibility saga. Over the weekend, it made clear it would follow court orders that would temporarily allow fifth-year players, including former pros, to join SEC teams next season.

However, that doesn’t mean the conference is done fighting these rulings or looking for ways to enforce its rules against those in the league. School executives are reportedly considering moves such as federal legal challenges, probation, or, in an extreme circumstance, expulsion. 

All eyes are on LSU, which has multiple players from NFL training camps looking to join the football team, along with RJ Luis, who left college basketball for the NBA Draft, looking to come back to college basketball.
