Mitchell, a 6’9 senior from Pittsburgh, PA, averaged 11.7 points and 5.5 rebounds per game as a starter for the Mountaineers last season. It’s been rumored that Mitchell has been offered “more than twice as much NIL money” from other schools after Bob Huggins’ resignation. It’s expected that other players on the roster are also considering transferring.
