There's bound to be a rule that applies to this kind of thing. Surely you can't enroll and un-enroll and enroll, etc. well into late September and still be an eligible student athlete.

On the latest coming and going, I'd wager he left school, never officially "un-enrolled" (withdrew) therefore he was still technically a student when he quickly returned.

My, my, my. I'm sure team discipline is strong on this Western Kentucky squad this season.

It's late September and he really should be back at school,there's probably not a rock and roll band that he could lend a helping hand,he might steal his god-father's cue and make a living out of playing pool:cool2:

Imagine the message that sends. Mitchell gets to leave us over and over again and still technically be on the team and if he decides to play he'll start and play 35 minutes on the days he wants to start and play 35 minutes.

If you're Western, you almost have to cut-bait and not take the APR hit. He was worth the gamble and whatever you had to do to land him, but once it's clear he isn't going to stay with you, you can't let his decisions hurt you with no potential benefit to your program.

If you are WKU, you have to grow a pair and tell him to hit the road. He is playing WKU like a fiddle. Man TF up and tell him to go home. Cut the cord, Rick and...

Stansbury is beginning to look weak. I understand a coach at a school like WKU wanting to bring in a recruit that no-one thought you could land.

But, at some point you have to realize this guy, regardless of talent, is going to: 1) Be terrible in the locker room. 2) Set a precedent for how the team views you as a leader and coach.

Other players will try to pull the same pouty response this year and will use Robinson as an excuse. Let him walk and roll with the team you have.

Stansbury is thinking: "O Mitchell I wish I'd never seen your face, you made a first class fool out of me but I'm as blind as a fool can be, you stole my heart but I love you anyway."

What's sad is Stansbury seems to have learned nothing from his time at Mississippi State. The whole Renaldo Sydney ordeal essentially derailed his career in Starkville, and now that he's getting another chance, he's doing it all over again.

This isn't going to end well for WKU. We all know that. At best, it's going to create team turmoil. At worst, well, it's pretty clear where this could head. There were enough red flags to begin with when a Top 10 recruit committed to WKU. Now, with all the "advice" he's received and the multiple times he's decided college isn't the right path, what are the chances he hasn't had contact with someone that would jeopardize his eligibility?

Wow I'm surprised by some in this thread. Proud of y'all.

Usually this would go like - "he's a kid. Kids do stupid things. It's his life. What's best for him is his choice, program be damned. Yada yada yada......

He's a dipsht. Pure and simple.

I'll be 'that guy'. If I was Stansbury and had a program changer who was mentally/emotionally messed up (but still eligible), I would fight to keep him. He's likely never get another 5 star if this one crashes.

I'll cheer for all of the Kentucky teams except Louisville, but just a warning for big time WKU fans : this partnership is going to end in disaster.

Mystery explained. Maggie May can do that to a guy. She must have finally kicked him in the head.

Link? I'm not seeing anything to show he's back?

Yeah, not sure where the OP got their info. I've searched a number of sites, including Bowling Green news sites, and I can't find anything where it says he has returned again. Sure like to see the proof this has happened if someone can supply a link to this story.

Well said. Stansbury at some point needs to recognize that whatever positive he envisions of having Robinson on the team, it will only be for one season. The downsides, on the other hand, can negatively impact Stansbury's future career, not just at WKU but beyond.
