Freshman guard 'humbles' himself to learn in first season

Making an impact for the Central Michigan men's basketball program has been something PJ Mitchell has dreamed about since 10th grade.

His first visit to CMU's campus was in 2016. He felt like he was already a part of the family. Mitchell committed to the Chippewas as just a sophomore at Detroit Edson High School.

Mitchell won two district titles and two regional championships while being selected to the Detroit News All-State First Team in 2015-16 and 2016-17. He nearly averaged a double-double as a senior with 16.7 points and 7.3 assists per game.

"I was the guy since my freshman year," Mitchell said.
