2019 PG Shareef Mitchell

[reddan]

Is there a kid at Omaha Burke we might be looking at?  If they don't get Chang he might be an option from what I heard. 

[khoock]

Probably Shareef Mitchell. 

 

6'0 - 6'1 PG. Very young for his grade.

He's super talented, but he's little. He'd need a year to bulk up. I've been pro Mitchell for a while, I think it'd be a good move, but he's probably not an impact player from day one. I'd still circle back on Wingett. I've been on that train for a couple years now.

I’d circle back on Aguek Arop before Wingett. Kid really improved himself this year.  Put on some very good weight.

We have the market cornered on hardly 6 foot tall guards. Would not think too much about us pursuing Shereef. Last I heard CU was looking for a prep school to place him at, similar to what they did with Khyri Thomas

If they can play, they can play.   You don't need 6'5" point guards to be good in college.   Stay away from the 5'7" guys...but 6' is plenty tall enough for a point guard in college.

 

If Creighton wants him...we should too.

Mitchell ended up being ranked the best play in the state if that’s worth anything. If we miss out on Amir Harris I don’t think taking a chance on him would be a terrible idea, he would need to redshirt tho. 

 

If push came to shove and we could just land Mitchell Chang and wingett(grades seem to be an issue) on top of Davis and Heiman I’d actually be pretty excited about the class. None would be high level contributors their first year but I’m not sure we really need that 

[hhcmatt]

From what I saw on twitter from Jason Derousseau he is going to end up at Creighton if Creighton wants him.  He's former Husker Alvin Mitchell's kid btw.

I'll add this to the FAQ section in 4 years when he's killing us and the internet is complaining that we didn't recruit the kid.

Prep school is a joke to unless your grades aren’t good enough. We or any school in our situation would be way better off taking the prospects and just making them redshirt because they will get more outta it.

 

his height at 6 foot to 6 foot 1 inch is no big deal either if he can play ball

Believe CU is pushing the prep school angle and then see where he is and he does like CU a lot. If we are looking for a true PG which we should be he would be a nice fall back option. If he gets a little stronger I think he can play. If NU were to offer for this fall I think we could get him as I am not sure he wants to go Prep school but does want to try higher D1 ball and all his currently offers are mid majors (including a final four squad)

I’d roll the dice on Mitchell if Xavier and the new kid ultimately say no thanks

You've got 3 open scholarships. Need a post player, too, but you can take a guy like Mitchell with that other one without any reservation, IMO.

Technically 4 if you count borchardts scholarship. Maybe only 2 if Copeland comes back and you don’t wanna pull borchardts. Either way it would be nice to get immediate post play help along w possibly a future post player, a point gaurd for the future, and then take a gamble on Chang or wingett or someone else that has blow up potential IMO 

[Huskerpapa]

Would love to have a PG of the future with the ability to back up Glynn this coming season, at the very least.

[B-town hoopsfan]

I could see Allen logging 10-15 minutes at the PG then 10-15 mins at shooting guard. 

[Huskerpapa]

Oh man B-town...I held my breath every time Thomas manned the point.  So for in an emergency yes...but to me, Thomas is best, off ball.

Off-season of growth and progress man.  Gotta have some faith.

That's probably better than riding the pine at a UNO, for instance. He'll be more mature physically in a year.....

Same Prep school that Omaha Central product Isaiah Chandler attended this year before heading just down the road to Wichita State

Is it for 18 or 19? Wish we would have taken a chance, great kid.
