There's a limit?

I predicted this when BYU took a guy from the G league.

he's going to college because he's not good enough for the pros, what kind of bait would he be to trade for Giannis?
I still find it strange that he can't be redrafted, I was joking about him being trade bait for Gianni btw.

Yes, absolutely so long as Mullins doesn't sign an NBA contract or play in an official NBA game. But, what I don't quite understand about the Baylor signing is that I think Nnaji played summer league for the Knicks and all summer league players are under NBA contracts (at least a summer league non-guaranteed contract but it's still a NBA contract, no?) and I guess the summer league isn't an "official" NBA game? That surprises me too?

Summer league isn't an official NBA game. Similar to G League kids coming to school. Truly I think we're not far away from seeing a guy who had a cup of coffee in the real NBA coming to college, though.

I don’t think so. Isn’t that rule still in place that you would need to withdraw before that pre-draft deadline of May 1 (or whatever it is) in order to return to school?
Another way to look at it - non-college players have more rights than kids already playing college ball.

Correct, the NCAA withdrawal deadline is now effectively irrelevant with this ruling. Anyone who does not play an NBA game has a basis for retaining their college eligibility
NCAA withdrawal deadline still pertains to players who were in college and stayed in the draft. Didn't apply to Nnaji because he's an international and the NCAA eligibility rule is written specifically to only apply to college student athletes who entered the draft and did not withdraw.
Could be challenged by a college player eventually in court, of course, but the NCAA will likely try to continue to enforce it (and fight that in court).
