AUSTIN, Texas - During the 2017-18 season, Elijah Mitrou-Long watched his teammates maneuver the highs and lows of Big 12 Conference play from the bench due to NCAA transfer rules. Despite not being on the court, Mitrou-Long used the year as an opportunity for growth, development and reflection.
Mitrou-Long spent his first two years of college playing at Mount St. Mary's University under the tutelage of Jamion Christian, a former assistant of Texas Head Coach Shaka Smart while Smart was at VCU.
