Mitchell transferred from Pepperdine in 2023 to join Minnesota. He started 24 games last season for the Golden Gophers but conceded ball-handling duties to Elijah Hawkins for most of the season. With Hawkins transferring to Texas Tech, this frees up Mitchell to be the team's starting point guard.
He averaged 10.2 points per game last season and shot 39.9% from three. Mitchell is a very good player, but there are too many great Big Ten point guards to rank him much higher than this.
