Expert Analysis
Michael Roth | Prep Hoops Scout
New to Spire’s national prep program, Mitchell is one of the most skilled forwards in the country and is ranked between 4th and 12th nationally on Rivals, On3, ESPN and 247. A prospect who has been in the national spotlight for a while now, Mitchell has been playing up with Brad Beal Elite since the first time I watched him at Peach Jam when he was a rising freshman. Now, Mitchell is one of the few 2027 prospects starting for a 17 U EYBL squad and has impressed as a high feel connector piece who is occasionally spacing the floor as well. I’ll look for Mitchell to also work to transform his body at Spire’s state of the art weight room facility over the next two years.

With as good as Evansville Reitz has been this season, it hard not to put their top player and top overall player in the in-state 2027 class on this watchlist.

has been good as advertised this season with his outstanding 16.4 ppg, 11.9 rpg, and 5.6 apg on the year. Mitchell is one of the more versatile players you find in the country at this level being able to score in all levels while being impressive in doing so. Evansville Reitz is a dark horse to make it Class 4A State and it starts with Castle.

We know that you know about Prep Hoops Indiana’s #1 prospect in the Class of 2027. However, this article would be remiss to not mention Mitchell’s 22-point, 20-rebound performance as Evansville Reitz moved to 11-0 on the season with a 71-63 win over Paducah Tilghman (KY).

- Finished with 23 points
- Evansville Reitz beat Carmel 55-44 in the North Central Classic
- Mitchell once again showed how special of a prospect he is in the 2027 class. In Reitz’s impressive win over the Carmel Greyhounds, Mitchell did a great job of being that go-to scorer when needed. He did a great job of taking his defender 1v1 and either scoring or drawing contact. He is freight train of a player.
