But any player truly worth celebrating years after their departure from a program has to actually help change that program while they’re still around. If there was any question as to whether Mitchell could do that, or was doing that, the debate probably ended Saturday. <- -> It was alive Saturday, when Mitchell took over in a home he never wanted to leave. Through COVID and a canceled season, through all the trying times of the past few of years, he worked on bringing a program to a different place instead of using the transfer portal as a means to move on. “Doing it in Connecticut, where I’m from, is huge,” Mitchell said. “And the guys in that locker room, I couldn’t leave. Those are my guys for the rest of my life. There was never any thought about abandoning them and leaving them.” <- [/QUOTE]
