Mitchell Robinson is not expected to play college basketball this upcoming season, according to
a report from Pat Forde over at Yahoo! Sports.
The one-time Western Kentucky Hilltopper, if only for a moment, will instead
focus his efforts on preparing for the 2018 NBA draft, per Forde's sources.
Robinson had been considering Kansas and the University of New Orleans as potential options for college, but the sources say Robinson, a five-star center in the 2017 class, hasn't maintained contact with the two schools and he will not play college basketball this fall. He would likely have to sit out the 2017-18 season due to transfer rules anyway.
Robinson was the No. 9 overall player and top-ranked center in last year's high school class. He enrolled at WKU early in the summer, only to leave campus shortly after.
His recruitment and the couple of months since he signed with Western have been very bizarre, to say the least.
