STEVIE MITCHELL IS A RARE BREED IN THE 2021 CLASS
Stevie Mitchell is the best prospect to come from the Reading, Pa., area since Lonnie Walker. To say that Mitchell is underrated is not quite fair to those recruiting him. However, I do have a fairly good feeling that if he could compete on the travel circuit this spring his offer list would be more expansive.
A 6-foot-2 lead guard that just completed his junior year at Wilson High School in eastern Pennsylvania, Mitchell was expected to break out last month. There is already a limited number of high-major lead guards in the 2021 class, and Mitchell was supposed to be one of the few that could have used such small numbers to his advantage in improving his stock nationally.
Boasting an electric first step, tremendous playmaking abilities off the bounce, explosiveness at the basket (where he is good for a posterizing a defender every now and again), and a calm demeanor in the backcourt, Mitchell brings plenty of value to the court. He has been unable to take any college visits, and due to the pandemic he might wait until the spring to sign, which is a good omen for those that may need a lead guard for next year
Georgia Tech, Marquette, Miami, St. Joseph's, Stanford and Temple are the six that Mitchell feels have prioritized him the most in recent months. Still relatively wide open with his recruitment, I’d expect more high-major programs to enter the picture and his Rivals150 ranking to improve in the weeks ahead, regardless of whether or not a travel season begins.
