Mark Mitchell's potential path to joining the Kentucky basketball program passed another hurdle Friday, Aug. 21.
Brian Edwards, a judge in Jefferson Circuit Court, granted a temporary restraining order for Mitchell and other former college athletes Friday, according to Hans Poppe, one of the attorneys representing the plaintiffs.
Because of Edwards' ruling, Mitchell and the other athletes who had exhausted their college eligibility are permitted to enter the transfer portal and begin officially speaking with schools and coaching staffs. Mitchell has been linked to Kentucky and coach Mark Pope in recent weeks as the Wildcats seek to fill their 15th (and final) roster spot ahead of the 2026-27 season.
A 6-foot-9, 230-pound forward, Mitchell earned All-SEC selection each of the past two seasons at Missouri.
