He went to Sunrise Christian

I wondered if that were it (was my first guess) but his HS listed on Sports Reference is Shakopee HS in Minnesota. I bet he moved to Sunrise for his senior year, or something. I also considered a possible affiliation with MoKan Elite, but he played AAU ball for a team out of Minnesota, too. Thanks.

Wow, almost 900 career rebounds in 4 years in the ACC?

Yes please.

Though he wasn't amazing against the best teams in the ACC (Duke, UNC, Virginia) he DID put up some good numbers against FSU and Virginia Tech. Also, it's not like he was on a stacked BC team the last 4 years. Definitely don't put all of that on him.

His rebounding ability in all 4 years is really consistent, pretty crazy.

Yeah, pretty remarkably consistent.

8.3 as a freshman
7.9 as a sophomore
8.7 as a junior
7.3 as a senior

I'd take that in a heartbeat. Granted, he won't be playing 30+ minutes a game if he came to UT, but his career rebounding percentage of 14.3% would be better than anyone on the team right now. And his down year in rebounding (this past season), he still had a total rebounding % of 12.7%, which would've been 4th on this year's team.

He’s been a 4 year starter and used to getting 30mpg, I do wonder how thrilled he would be about competing with our front court, but I’m guessing you could probably sell BHH playing some 3.

He's also averaged a block per game in his 108 games, totaling 113 blocks in 4 years.

Not extremely dynamic, but that's very consistent, too.

Yea I think he’s have to be on board with 25mpg max, but with his versatility I think he could get that on this roster.

Yea, he’s an above average shot blocker for sure...he gets a really high number of steals for a non guard as well...his bio said something like only Top 30 guy in steals per game at 6’7” or taller.

The Senior, who averaged 9.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 1.5 assists this year, was a fan favorite for the Eagle faithful who loved his grit, effort, and leadership on the court. While never the most potent offensive threat on the team, his defense and rebounding proved invaluable to the Eagles game in and game out. Perhaps most memorably, he put on a phenomenal defensive performance against Marvin Bagley III in 2017-18 en route to victory over #1 ranked Duke.

He departs the program a veritable swiss army knife, having played 108 total games and averaging 6.8 points, 8.1 boards, and 2.4 assists along the way. He was rewarded with a place on the 2019-2020 ACC All-Defensive team.

Steffon Mitchell Declares for NBA Draft

Sounds like a perfect fit for what we need...

My biggest question on fit would be is the staff deadest on a 6’10”+ 230lb+ guy that they feel can hold his own against bigger 5’s? With Mitchell it’s a similar size to Fulky, Aidoo probably gonna be a bit light his first year, is there a concern against bigger guys?

The fact he had success defending against Bagley though who’s a big dude is a positive sign.

How many stud players will want to transfer in to be a rotational player off the bench? This guy might be close to being the ideal player in that he’s clearly been doing that for a high major team (maybe wants to just be part of a good team) and is a versatile 4/5 player. What are the chances we find a similar player but a couple inches taller?

I know the coaching staff hasn't asked me yet, but I'm more concerned with having an enforcer type player underneath. A 6'6" Charles Barkley type build would work fine for me. I think these type players affect the game in ways that do not show up on the stat sheet, but do show up in the final score.

This is my thought as well...I think an Abdul Ado may be the best case scenario, but this guy isn’t far off.

That only works if they have Charles Barkley type athletic abilities. So basically Charles and Zion Williamson. Anosike had the body but not the athletic ability.

Tristan Clark is an interesting transfer. His soph year he looked like a stud. Then got hurt and never regained his form. Supposedly says he’s recovered.

For the “older” fans, I’d even take a Howard Wood! But, yes, there aren’t many of those guys who can pull it off.

If we add to our roster, does anyone think it will be a mid summer addition. Maybe wait for someone to jump into the portal. Then hold on to our last scholarship throughout the season?

Mitchell reminds me of Kyle Anderson a bit, without the great facilitating numbers. Although 3 assists his junior year shows some skill.

The staff wants to add Tamba and a transfer big man with experience, we’ll see if they can pull it off.
