But yeah guys should be worried about getting hurt because of one guy 12 years ago who obviously had a genetic predisposition to knee trouble. Also, You know what Greg oden is doing now? Coaching basketball.


Ever heard of leagues outside of the NBa? There’s quite a few in Europe that pay pretty well.
Yeah, amazing you have so much faith in modern medicine to think career ending injuries are a thing of the past. Yet you don't see the value of an education from Isenberg in the highest-paying field in business- Finance. I sense a degree of cognitive dissonance.

Yeah, I obviously heard of those leagues. Lou Roe played almost 20 years overseas. He's not a rich man. He'd probably be better off with an Isenberg education now that he's retired. Hoop players don't die at 40!

Tre's immediate future is hoop. Isenberg will graduate some students who will out-earn what he's likely to make bouncing a ball across the globe.

I'm not saying Dogg is wrong, I'm saying Tre has now sacrificed 2 top business schools to be disloyal to his teammates and coaches and karma is a batch.

Nobody can forecast his health or the length of his career.

We'll see if he ever gets a cup of coffee ☕ in the NBA. My guess is overseas and G league.

Wall Street bonuses are huge. Don't assume he we necessarily make more in hoop than a top Isenberg or McCombs Finance graduate.

As soon as Tre arrived on campus, we heard that he wanted to major in finance. That suggests to me that he has some interests for his future besides basketball.

Has anyone gone back to find all that data on where and when Mitchell touched the ball and how many of his turnovers were forced?

Yeah me too. I would probably offer that guy or girl an admissions ticket to their nearest amusement park.

The Athletic lists the top 50 remaining players in the transfer protocol and has Tre at #38 and their write-up on him is very spot on.

38. Tre Mitchell | 6-9 forward | senior | Texas
Mitchell will need to get a waiver to play immediately after transferring to Texas from Massachusetts last year, a decision that likely left everyone unhappy with the result. A first-team All-Atlantic-10 selection, Mitchell was one of the most popular players in the portal last year for some just simply due to his production. He made two All-A-10 teams in two years with the Minutemen, averaging 18 points and seven rebounds as the centerpiece on the block of a bad team. But this year, it showed that not all production is created equal for good teams. Mitchell struggled to find a role that was suitable for his game. Becuase he’s not a great defender, he needs to be awesome on offense, and realistically be a centerpiece. But is he good enough to do that at the highest levels? I’m skeptical. Honestly, heading somewhere like Pittsburgh, where he’s from originally, and a school that desperately needs an infusion of talent, seems like the right level to me. Maybe that won’t be the exact spot, but I think that’s the kind of place he should be looking for.

I think that's a fair assessment all around.

Agreed. As much as it pains me to say it, Utah State would be a great landing spot for him too.

Going to WV will help his case to get an immediate exception to play this coming season. Morgantown, WV is within 100 miles (75 miles) from his home and the NCAA often takes that into account if a player wants to play closer to home for family reasons.

Bigger news is that he cut off all his hair and looks a lot more mature.

Interesting that his mother’s home has been wherever he has been……
