Mitchell Robinson

The saga of Mitchell Robinson’s college career is finally, mercifully over.

I think.

And yes, that’s about the fifth time that I’ve written both of those sentences.

On Sunday night, Robinson, a top ten prospect in the Class of 2017 and a potential lottery pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, told Scout.com that he will be skipping college to workout and prepare for the NBA Draft. This comes just three weeks after Robinson re-enrolled at Western Kentucky. He had to re-enroll at Western Kentucky because, after attending a couple of weeks of summer school classes, he left school and asked for a release to transfer from the program.

He visited Kansas. He visited LSU. He visited New Orleans. He considered just sitting out the season before entering the NBA Draft, those summer school classes meant that he was a transfer that needed to redshirt, but eventually made his way back to Western Kentucky.

And, as of now, it appears that his career as an amateur basketball player is over.

We’ll see how long that lasts.
