OT - Donovan Mitchell to Louisville

[tcf15]

If this kid was top 30 or an AA, we would have been all over him.

Don't mean to pile on, but Mitchell will most likely be top 30 when post-summer rankings are released. Kid was ridiculous during July.

We already have Jalen Adams at Mitchell's spot in 2015, though, so that allowed us to focus on other priorities, like wings and bigs.

I don't beileve we'd let a talent like this escape CT without at least trying to recruit him. Either way good for him and UL

We did recruit him until Ali verballed, and Jackson verballed. Then Adams was the priority as a PG (which Mitchell is not). When Ali decommitted it was too late to get back in most likely. Ali, for my money, is a better player, but either way they have very similar games, well they move differently but their strengths and weaknesses are similar. Oddly both could end up at UL, though I think that is a lot of overlap, and Fozier makes a ton more sense for them as a second guard in the class.

There are some tough quotes in the article for PC fans to digest. They are still waiting for that "post BET title bounce"...But we all know winning the BET does not mean what it used to. Not even close.
