I think its Arbitrary when he was told he didn't have any eligibility left, had he known, I'm sure he would have considered his options differently.aTm wrote: ↑Mon Aug 31, 2026 8:37 pm Arbitrary rules like “you have to enter the transfer portal in order to transfer?”
Multiple other SEC teams have players seeking 5th years on their roster, even transfers from other SEC programs. Mitchell cant play for Kentucky because he didnt enter the portal during the window, he just decided to come back and pick any school.
There were 5th year players putting their name in the transfer portal who at the time had zero eligibility left, so they're given the benefit of having the foresight to count on a rule change or judicial ruling?
This isn't a Bryson Warren situation where they guy signed a contract.
