Former Texas forward Dillon Mitchell commits to Cincinnati
Former Texas Longhorns forward Dillon Mitchell is staying in the Big 12 after all, committing to join Wes Miller and the Cincinnati Bearcats out of the transfer portal. Mitchell, a highly regarded prospect out of Montverde Academy in Florida, spent the past two seasons with the Longhorns. The 6’8 forward averaged 9.6 points and 7.5 rebounds last year, cementing himself as a big time athlete, defender, and rebounder while working to develop a consistent offensive game. He will now join a roster at Cincinnati that is mostly intact from last season, getting a chance to play alongside Aziz Bandaogo, Jizzle James, Daniel Skillings, and Simas Lukosius. Mitchell, alongside fellow transfer portal additions Arrinten Page (USC) and Connor Hickman (Bradley) will help replace John Newman (out of eligibility) and Viktor Lakhin (Clemson) for the Bearcats. The transfer trio and bevy of key returners gives coach Miller a roster capable of leading this program to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since Mick Cronin was head coach back in 2019.
