LSU Coach Will Wade Confirms RJ Luis Will Not Play in 2026-27 Season

LSU basketball coach Will Wade confirmed that former St. John's star RJ Luis will not play for the Tigers in the 2026-27 season. Wade stated that the team will follow SEC protocols, which prohibit rostering players who signed professional contracts. Although Luis received a preliminary injunction allowing him to play, he was not included in the team's recent exhibition or official roster. Wade also expressed confidence that other players facing eligibility issues will be cleared by the NCAA, despite recent court losses for similar cases.

Mitchell’s Fifth-Year Suit Could Unlock Kentucky’s Frontcourt

Former Missouri star Mark Mitchell is seeking a fifth year of college eligibility through a lawsuit in Kentucky, with a hearing scheduled for Friday. If granted, Mitchell could join Kentucky, addressing a physicality gap identified by coach Mark Pope. Mitchell, a two-time All-SEC forward, averaged 18.3 points and 5.2 rebounds for Missouri in 2025-26. His potential addition would solidify Kentucky’s frontcourt alongside Milan Momcilovic and Malachi Moreno. The case challenges the NCAA’s five-for-five rule, potentially impacting other Class of 2022 recruits.
