24 more players were added to a 5-in-5 lawsuit in California yesterday.

Several notable players, including Moe Odum, Xaivian Lee, Keba Keita, and Desmond Claude, are now seeking a fifth year of eligibility. The news comes on the heels of the NCAA continuing to dig its heels in on the federal case in Colorado, which could come to a resolution as early as next week. State lawsuits, like the ones in Ohio, Tennessee and Georgia, have proved to be the most viable route for players to earn another season.

Check out the full list of players added below:

In a separate suit filed in Kentucky, Missouri's Mark Mitchell is also seeking a fifth year and the ability to transfer.

Newly eligible players continue to commit to schools even amid the uncertainty.

North Carolina transfer Seth Trimble committed to Louisville.

UCLA transfer Skyy Clark committed to LSU.

Oakland transfer Brody Robinson committed to Creighton.

Brennan Lorient is returning to West Virginia for his fifth season of eligibility.
