Ohio State freshman Mickey Mitchell was ruled eligible by the NCAA this afternoon and can play tomorrow against Kentucky.
No one really knows for sure why the NCAA was looking into Mitchell, but many believe it was due to improper benefits he and his family received while playing AAU ball in Texas. You know what those (alleged!) improper benefits didn’t include? Haircuts.
Who knows how good Mitchell is — he was a four-star recruit — but he’ll be available immediately for the Buckeyes. Sadly, social media tells me he cut the man bun off a few weeks ago, so we can’t even make fun of that.
