SEC and NCAA are making an impact on player decisions

Many don't follow basketball here, but there was a very interesting development this morning.

Former Missouri PF Mark Mitchell Jr. had committed to Kentucky a few days ago. This morning, Jeff Goodman broke the news that Mitchell has enrolled at Missouri.

The reason for this is it's his easiest potential path to playing another year of college basketball.

1. Mitchell did not enter April portal. He was clearly planning to be done with college basketball. He went undrafted, but signed a form of an Exhibit 10 contract and played for the Denver Nuggets in the NBA summer league.

2. Mitchell was not eligible to play at Kentucky per the intraconference transfer rules.

3. While Mitchell is returning to Missouri, he's still not a lock to play next season. The NCAA has been winning in the courts of late with multiple "stay"'s. 

Agents and players should proceed with caution IMO.

And the SEC is also very serious about the fines and suspensions for programs and coaches.
