Marshall's recruiting says a lot about Midtgaard. Marshall's interest in signing an additional post for 2019 is probably inversely related to his interest in having Midtgaard on scholarship next year.

The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings. -
Is that because AM probably played better than the other posts in the scrimmage? I’m not sold that AM is the answer in the post but they all look to be projects and AM may the best of the projects. It’s to early to know either way. However, Mitchell looks ready to contribute now.Last edited by Shockm; October 8, 2018, 11:59 AM.Comment

I wouldn’t say that his interest is related to wanting to drop one particular player, rather it is related to wanting to elevate the current skill level. Maybe it’s AM, maybe Poor Bear, maybe someone else.Originally posted by Aargh View PostLivin the dreamComment

UCONN have had Mitchell in for a visit and some are speculating or at least hoping for a commitment from him. Notre Dame sounds like their main competition.Comment

Probably too much to hope for, but damn.Comment

He's taken officials to Notre Dame, UConn, and Illinois already. It's being said that he's likely going to use his last two official visits. If we can somehow get one of those we may have a chance. Seems like a spring signee.Comment

ShocksO2 thanks for keeping us updated. I am sure that he is getting the high pressure pitch to sign since it is so close to the early signing period in November. If he waits it could become a disadvantage for the teams that he's visited. Hope that is the case with this young man. Sure Fernandez is working on this skilled big man!Comment

It would be unbelievable to land Tre now that we've got the commitment from Tyson. Two 4* players in one class? And, I think Tre would become the highest rated player ever for Marshall. Damn, I'd love to see us pull this guy into the fold!Comment

Nope. He was a hard Notre Dame lean, but apparently the OV went real bad. I'd say UCONN has a much better shot at landing Wahab or Cockburn at Center. His recruitment is still very open, particularly for the last 2 schools he chooses for an OV.Originally posted by Shockm View PostComment

I hope you’re right. Some of your UCONN brethren feel like you have a better chance to land him than you. If he takes his final visits (Tyson E. didn’t take all of his), we or others may stand a chance. Signing two Northeasterners may give us a foot in the door, and if he were to wait until the Spring, Mitchell is probably wide open. He would play right away for us. We don’t have anyone like him on our team.Originally posted by UCONN_Husky View PostComment

I'm old enough to have this guy come to mind:Originally posted by WuShocker2006 View Post
Wes Unseld, whose Louisville team was a member of the Missouri Valley Conference during his college days (1965-1968).Comment

It may not matter because we don’t have a chance. However, just an aside. Mitchell is a pretty good perimeter shooter with a big body and ability to post up low. Unseld was a great post up player but didn’t have an outside shot. However, at that time, there wasn’t a 3 point shot so he didn’t need a perimeter game.Comment
-
Unseld did average 20.6 PPG in his time at Louisville but what he was really known for was his rebounding and outlet passing. He averaged 18.9 RPG at Louisville. Would 3G not fall in love with that.Originally posted by Shockm View PostComment

I don't see the comparison to Wes, but this kid would start for us, day one.Comment
-
I was thinking primarily in terms of body type. Shockm is right Wes did not have nor did have any need to develop a perimeter game. Whether or not Mitchell is a strong rebounder is hard to say. You don't see manyt highlight tapes of guys reboudning.
