Tre Mitchell in the transfer portal

He isn't capable of playing the 4 except against very specific types of teams... Georgetown comes to mind. He is pretty much a traditional back-to-the-basket big with a little bit of catch and shoot ability. He doesn't have the lateral quickness to cover 4s at all. He's probably slower than Sanogo.

the kid averages nearly 20 ppg and over 7 boards. Those are 2 good reasons to play the kid against anyone unless UMass sat him against quicker players - is that the case? He was 1st team A-10 so don't think so. He must have faced some guys smaller and quicker than him. Offensively he has some good foot movement and he doesn't plod at all. He was one of 10 college players nationally that were in the running for the 2021 Naismith Karl Malone Power Forward of the Year Award, he didn't make the final five (Bouk was one of 10 for the Jerry West SG award but also didn't make the final cut).
Not sure if there is room/he would fit here especially if IW returns but it's worth the look see unless he brings some garbage (and not necessarily talking about his Mom)

No UMass didn't sit him because he started and played C for them

This guy is a serious player, the team offense ran through him. Effective outside shooter with a soft touch! Hope we get interested. Don't know about the love affair?

One of the coaches and his mom are (or at least were) legitimately dating
 
Let’s get him! Would be a hell of a addition and provides something different than Sanogo, both would be intriguing together
 
Geez who could have EVER seen this coming when you hire an assistant in order to get your best player and that assistant is also dating the kids mom. Seems like it would be a recipe for success no?
 
As a refresher to Tre's initial recruitment by UConn.. Was the Javonte Brown commit decision the signal that there was no longer UConn interest in Tre? IIRC .Sanogo announcement was made after Tre had already decided on UMass. Just curious about how the sequence of events went down.

If IW decides to make money next year rather than returning--Would be a nice fit.

Wouldn't Tre have three years of eligibility left?

He's already played 2 and UMass board thought he was staying 3 years tops. Probably wants a bigger showcase and a shot at the tourney before he leaves college. I don't know what UMass-Woodstock Academy will do without him.

Tre was a target in 2019, so none of these players have any impact on his recruitment. After Kofi left us for Illinoi$, we were scrambling to find a big man. We went from Wahab, to Mitchell and ultimatley landed Springs who seems like a good prospect.

I don't think anyone is saying he wouldn't be a good addition to the team. He'd be a strong option behind Sanogo, but the question is whether he's looking to come off the bench somewhere. There are a handful of highlight videos from this past year online and it becomes very clear very quickly that while he's a skilled player, he does not have the quickness to play the four.

Smart can make up for quickness, he is that, a good decision maker and would loosen up the inside as he can shoot from the 3 point land. He has the size to shoot over many guards.

It’s not the offensive end where that lack of quickness would get exposed.

He’s so good. Underrated passer. Really smart player. I think 8 players from his Woodstock academy were on UMass, what a dumpster fire that staff must be.

Their board has a thread where 5 kids were looking to leave if Tre wasn’t, if I’m reading it correctly.

This year is a free year for eligibility per NCAA.Thought he might have three left since he's only played two years.

Amherst not far from Storrs so he can stay at UMassand coach while mom can go watch, id day perfect scenario.

Sorry no brainer talented big who can pass, shoot and play in the low post. If he’s interested then our Huskies should be.

I’ll take him. But does he want to come here and fight with sanogo for minutes
 
Unfortunately, kid not likely for UCONN.
He's not going anywhere for backup role.
His Mom's BF is staying at UMASS.
Providence very heavy in the mix
One might say they are the leader in the clubhouse.

He’s not starting over Watson if Watson stays.

That's If Watson stays.
He can team with Watson with Horchler a 6th man.
That and Duke etc is a potentially good team.
 
Question for the BY Scouting Dept since I have not seen tape on Tre. Does he have the skills to move up to BE
and play starter minutes or is he a role player? If he's a role player kind of recruit--Can he accept that or is he looking to be be a featured player with starter minutes?

With a fully recovered AA (hopefully).AS/SJ/RS and perhaps either JC/IW back.. Tre would have to look at the long view re; significant PT in future years.. No JC or IW next year--Different looking roster needs.

From comments I've seen in this OP and previous ones re: his back-to-basket offensive comfort level /face up jumper/passing skills. Those are all attractive skills for a 5 to have.

I don't see Dan Hurley recruiting over AS/SJ and is also trying to give AA the time and patience to fully recover and return to form for a featured role next year.
