Shades of Tony Mitchell, with a lot of added drama.

Only difference is Tony Mitchell didn't have half the talent of MR.....Not saying that will translate into MR being all world on the court, but MR's starting point, ceiling, etc is way more than a 6-8 Tony Mitchell was...Tony was not an McDonalds All American or ranked 8th nationally coming out of high school, believe his composite ranking was 18, that can make a huge difference...MR is 7-1 and may still be growing, he grew two inches this past year with a wingspan 8 ft....This is something you cannot teach...He is very very raw and may not contribute much on offense, but I would be shocked if the kid does not average at least 3 blocks a game...

As far as chemistry I agree, no one knows how that is going to go until the bullets fly, My guess is our coaches do not know at this point how all of this is going to work out....Impossible for anyone to know....

Eh... Tony Mitchell was an assumed 1st round pick with talk of possible one and done, he might not have been as highly regarded as MR, but I'd submit that the difference in a guy like TM signing in the Sun Belt at a program like North Texas and a guy like MR signing in CUSA at a program like WKU is nominal.
