August 27, 20179 yr Mitchell Robinson returning to WKU The NCAA launches the alert 5 aircraft :scared:
August 27, 20179 yr Looks like someone is finally giving him good advice. Bill Self apparently woke him up in a not-so-nice way.
August 28, 20179 yr It's very ironic that WKU's logo is a red flag WKU didn't do anything illegal to get him back. He had 2 options return to WKU and play this year or sit out and see how far is draft status plummeted. It seems like you have a hard time saying anything nice about WKU these days but that's ok. I'm sure there will be some in house obligations and punishments Mitchell has to meet and fulfill before the coaching staff allows him back.

I'm sure they will treat him the same as they do all of their 5 star recruits.

I'm sure there will be some in house obligations and punishments Mitchell has to meet and fulfill before the coaching staff allows him back. I'm not accusing them of doing anything illegal at all. I'm just saying the way things have played out over the summer likely raises a lot of red flags for some people.

Could WKU have "released" him or any other option for him to allow him to play somewhere else this season. Or is this a mandated NCAA rule. Just wondering if WKU had the power if you will to allow him to be able to play somewhere else this season.

Just wondering if WKU had the power if you will to allow him to be able to play somewhere else this season. WKU granted him his release. But he had already enrolled in two weeks of summer class at WKU (taking financial aid) and participated in nearly two weeks of practices. NCAA was not going to grant him a waiver. He had terrible advice from "handlers" in regards to leaving WKU. His only options were sit a year and play CBB somewhere next year (why would he do that when he is a lotto pick), play overseas, go JUCO, train for the draft, or return to WKU. That last option was clearly his best.
August 28, 20179 yr Author Robinson is back but Brangers is no longer a member of the team. BOWLING GREEN, Ky. — WKU Hilltopper Basketball freshman center Mitchell Robinson is on campus and enrolled for the fall semester, head coach Rick Stansbury announced Monday. “I’ve said it many times – Mitchell is a good kid who can benefit greatly from the structure and accountability provided to him here,” Stansbury said. “As I stated previously, there are requirements for his return that will be handled internally.” Added Robinson: “I’ve learned from some decisions I’ve made in my life. I accept all responsibility for my actions and look forward to gaining back the respect of all of my coaches, teammates and fans. This is where I want to be, and I want to help the Hilltoppers compete for a championship.” Additionally, after a standard review completed of all WKU transfer students, junior guard Jordan Brangers has not met NCAA transfer requirements and is no longer a member of the Hilltopper program.

August 29, 20179 yr I think this is the best option available for him. Too bad he has to survive 6 months of Stansbury.
August 29, 20179 yr I will accuse them of doing illegal things. That dude is dirtier than my socks. And it's not even much of a secret how dirty he is.
