Owen Odigie (AIS) dunk at Adidas Eurocamp

Not necessarily. Could still play College, providing he was not paid.

In fact players can get paid. Enes Kanter got paid for playing for Fenerbache in Turkey.

The NCAA allows players to get paid basic 'living costs'.

However, Kanter got paid some $33,000 above what was considered his basic living costs, hence he was considered permanently ineligible.

With that being said, it may be more difficult for Odigie to get a scholarship as colleges try to stay away from players like that, as they hate dealing with eligibility matters.
UK only took on Kanter because he was arguably one of the biggest and best International college prospects ever.

Odigie gave up his college prospects when he suited up and played for the Tigers...

I am currently in Treviso following the Eurocamp, and he played a great game. So damn athletic, and from what I have heard his shooting game has improved dramatically.

On another note, I watched Evan Fournier's workout (who is tipped as the first international to be drafted in the draft).

Safe to say his workout was bemusing--very average. Looked disinterested and lacked intensity.

Here is some footage of the terrible workout:
