Its granted

LFG!

 

[Iroquois Pliskin]

When does the portal open for him? Assume the NCAA has to turn it on

 

[moses1uk]

Dark Pope

 

[NineIsOnTheWay]

Get em signed now. The hard part. Then we can say dark Pope.

 

[ThreeDogNight2]

Welp. Commitment in next 3 days

 

[Iroquois Pliskin]

When does the portal open? How long did Kohler wait after his lawsuit victory

 

[ThreeDogNight2]

When does the portal open for him? Assume the NCAA has to turn it on

In the court filing he had asked for the judge to open the portal from the 11th to the 18th but obviously we are past that

 

[darkshadesofblue]

“PK makes late push” incoming lol. Hope this doesn’t drag out for another week

 

[CatFanMan66]

I hope one day we start talking about the game again. Talking about money and roster buying is in no way satifisfying as a fan.

 

[TarHeelInCharlotte]

Now you find out if the SEC is serious about enforcing their interconference transfer rule.

[ThreeDogNight2]

Portal will be open whenever the judge says so. If anyone wants to go and read some of the court stuff jet he judge might’ve already said the portal is open

 

[jwildcattrester]

Does Pope land him???

It's still a switch the NCAA has to flip. It's an actual database

The 3 M&M’s are going to be one heck of a front court!

 

[UKWildcats1987]

This is the guy we needed. Star power.

 

[ThreeDogNight2]

Yeah but if a judge orders it open the ncaa will flip the switch like they’ve already done 50+ times in last 2 weeks

 

[MidseasonTweak]

We will get him

 

[chroix]

On like Donkey Kong

 

[moses1uk]

It’s a done deal Mitchell is coming and very soon

 

[Iroquois Pliskin]

They might be off today or understaffed

 

[TarHeelInCharlotte]

Such a weird time seeing UK fans excited about a temporary court ruling (not a final ruling) that allows them to recruit a former Duke player.

Lol

Lol

They need shooters more than anything

And there are numerous things still at play.

This is a temporary order. It is not a final ruling. There will be more court dates, each of which could overturn this temporary order and make Mitchell ineligible.

Then there is Greg Sankey implying he will enforce the SEC rule that Mitchell did not enter the portal back in April, and thus isn't eligible if he transfers to a SEC school.

It's possible you guys land Mitchell, pay him, and he still never plays. What a wonderful mess the NCAA created.

 

[ThreeDogNight2]

Lol

Didn’t he spend like all last year on the bench?

 

[ChicagoCat90]

Maybe let's try something other than a zoom call the get this done.

 

[Iroquois Pliskin]

Didn’t he spend like all last year on the bench?

Yeah they announced he was playing and made a hype video for him on game day then he decided he didn't want to

 

[BringItONUK ROCKS_rivals]

With UL losing a player because of the STAY today against the Colorado court......... UL might be gunning for him.....am I right??

I almost feel we are at a time where judges don’t care about ncaa rules and would rather base this off of is it unfair and how much money the 2022 class would lose

 

[JimboBBN]

Let’s gooooo!!! Finish this up Pope!

It isn't a final ruling by a legal standard, but it is by any practical standard. Any meaningful chance to reverse this will not be heard for months.

 

[blackcat714]

Time for Rick to swoop in snatch him from Popes grasp

Depends on the judge. But temporary orders are the easiest solution, bc it can be so easily overturned once the sides present their full cases.

You'd need a completely different court case to deal with Sankey and the SEC transfer rules.

The fun part is if you play a guy bc of a TRO granting him eligibility, and the he is later ruled ineligible, the NCAA can vacate your wins. So literally every game is a roll of the dice until the final court ruling.

The Colorado ruling by Judge Sweeney granted a TRO for athletes to get a 5th year of eligibility on July 31st.

Less than a month later the NCAA was just granted a Stay, ruling all those players ineligible while this continues to play out in court.

Why do you think the court in Kentucky would take months for the next appeal?

Well remember though these 5th year seniors are the real ones causing chaos

 

[kywildcat1021979]

Here is where they talk about the SEC rule. I'm pretty sure he had to be in the portal by May 1st here we sit Aug 21st so this might be the biggest hurdle of them all.

The SEC's intraconference transfer rule could impact Mark Mitchell's decision

Kentucky basketball missed on Jaxon Kohler after he committed to BYU on Thursday night. Now, all their attention has turned fully to Missouri's Mark Mitchell, w

Again, Sankey can't let Jalen Washington and Jordan Pope play, but not Mitchell.
