Recruiting Report: 2019 Tre Mitchell
One of the top big men this past weekend at the Hoop Group Summer Jam Fest was 2019 Tre Mitchell. Mitchell is a guy that can control the area around the rim whenever he wants to on both offense and defense. Offensively, he can be a mismatch problem for opposing teams. If he has a slower guy on him, he can move around them and use his quick post moves and get around them to score.When a smaller guy is on him, he will just bully them and score easy buckets. On the defense side of the ball he capabilities on contesting shots were on full display. We were able to catch up with him to talk how his summer is going.
“It has been a pretty good summer for me. It was a good experience for me to play on the EYBL and play with these guys and go out and put it on the floor every night. It was good to see some of the competition and where I match up against certain individuals.”
Many high major schools are recruiting him and trying to land the 2019 big man. Two programs that are recruiting him hard had their head coaches and an assistant with them this weekend at the Summer Jam Fest.
Mike Brey and an assistant of Notre Dame were on hand to watch him and he had nothing but great things to say about Brey, “Coach Brey just knows so much about the game and just knows how to put people in the right places and knows how to use peoples style of game to just get around and go out there to compete and win games so he just knows what he is doing.”
Another high major coach that was in for him this past weekend was Dan Hurley of UCONN, “I hear from them a good bit too. They are set to get some good guys in there and turn that program around.”
When asked about what he could bring to a college program, he said, “I think I can bring some energy and I think I could come in and score, I could be positive and just cause issues with the opposite team and the big men on the team and just come in and supply some of my intelligence to the game, learn more and just go out there and compete.”
