So after 1-25-11, he will sign with an agent and hit the Euro leagues???
It's officially after 1-25-11. He can't enroll at Mizzou for this year anymore.
Maybe we'll get some sort of news today.
Not so fast....Mitchell could try and do WHAT HAS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE. That's right, he will be a full time student in 8 weeks. I think mu needs to try something different when it comes to cheating. Every time they have an athlete who takes 70 hours of credit in an afternoon, they get caught. Over and over again.
MU recruits Mitchell, Richardson could use late registration
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Two high-profile Missouri athletic recruits — Tony Mitchell in basketball and Sheldon Richardson in football — could take until March 14 to enroll at the University of Missouri and still be eligible in their respective sports this spring.
“As long as a student was admitted and enrolled as a full-time student and met all NCAA requirements, they would be eligible to practice and compete,” Kim Humphrey, MU’s athletics certification officer and assistant to the Vice Provost of Enrollment, told The Star on Tuesday.
Neither Mitchell nor Richardson have been confirmed as academically eligible. Tuesday was the last day to register for full spring semester classes at MU.
But Humphrey said anyone meeting enrollment qualifications — athletes and non-athletes — could enroll only for the final eight weeks of the semester at Missouri.
“If a student were to try to register tomorrow for a class, they can register for any class that has not started yet,” Humphrey said. “The majority of those are the second eight-week classes.”
Full-time student status would be needed for Mitchell to be eligible to practice or play, and for Richardson to take part in spring football drills.
“It would be difficult to fill a full schedule,” Humphrey said of the late-registration option. “Not impossible, but it would be difficult. I don’t know that we’ve ever seen it.”
On Monday, MU basketball coach Mike Anderson said he did not know when, or if, the NCAA might rule on Mitchell’s eligibility.
The Star previously reported that the NCAA has ruled Mitchell ineligible and the case was on appeal. MU officials have neither confirmed nor denied that report.
Richardson signed with Missouri in 2009 but did not qualify academically and went to the College of the Sequoias in California.
