Five-star recruit Mitchell Robinson will not play college basketball this season and instead focus on the 2018 NBA Draft, sources told Yahoo's Pat Forde.
Robinson had enrolled at Western Kentucky for this coming season but was suspended for violating team rules and soon vacated campus. He had reportedly narrowed his transfer list to Kansas or New Orleans, but now seems to be focused on the NBA.
It is unlikely he would have been able to play this season anyways due to NCAA transfer rules. The 7-footer is touted as a top-20 prospect in the 2018 draft.
