Kentucky Wildcats News: Mark Mitchell Commits and Pittsburgh Volleyball Game Day
Kentucky gets one of the top transfers in the country, and UK Volleyball plays in a top 5 matchup this afternoon.
Yesterday marked a significant day for Kentucky Basketball as Missouri transfer Mark Mitchell committed to the Wildcats. Standing at 6-foot-9 and weighing 230 pounds, Mitchell was granted a fifth year of eligibility by a judge in Louisville on Friday, allowing him to announce his commitment to Kentucky on the same day. During the 2024-2025 season, Mitchell averaged an impressive 18.2 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game while playing nearly 34 minutes for Missouri, earning him Second Team All-SEC honors.
With the Wildcats seeking to complete their roster for the upcoming season, Mitchell's addition certainly strengthens their frontcourt. In parallel news, the Kentucky women's volleyball team will face off against fourth-ranked Pittsburgh in the AVCA First Serve Showcase in Milwaukee. Both teams recently participated in the Final Four of the women's volleyball national tournament last season, setting the stage for an exciting matchup between the two programs.
