Dee Bost has regained his eligibility to play for Mississippi State in spite of staying in the NBA draft after the cut-off date for returning. Bost will have a 9-game suspension that he will start serving once he regains his academic eligibility (presumably) in early December.

Some of you may remember Randolph Morris was able to return to UK after staying in the draft but going undrafted, but the rule has since changed and you're not supposed to be allowed to return to school if you stay in the draft past the deadline (even if you don't have an agent). No doubt Bost knew what he was doing, but I guess with the NCAA, a deadline has some gray areas.
