Twitter celebrates Mark Mitchell joining the Kentucky Wildcats
The Cats have something special brewing now that Mark Mitchell is in the fold.
Mark Mitchell, a 6-foot-9, 230-pound Missouri Tigers forward, committed to the Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday, August 22, 2026, after being cleared by a lawsuit in Kentucky, which allowed him to remain eligible. The talented 25-year-old, originally a 5-star class of 2022 recruit from Kansas City, Missouri, had previously played at Duke for his first two seasons before joining Missouri for the past two years.
Mitchell's impressive season with Missouri, in which he averaged 18.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists while shooting 55% from the field and 38.8% from three-point range, earned him Second Team All-SEC honors. The addition of Mitchell significantly strengthens Kentucky's roster, potentially making them a top-10 team capable of making a Final Four run.
