Sunrise Christian (Bel Aire, Kan.) wing Mark Mitchell is one of the most dominant and versatile forwards in the country, checking in at No. 18 overall in the SI99 for 2022. On Friday, he picked Duke over UCLA and wrote an exclusive blog for Sports Illustrated to break down his thought process behind the decision.
Hey, what’s up everyone this is Mark Mitchell and I’m excited to announce that I’m now a part of The Brotherhood!
Man! I’m so excited to be able to play for such a storied program like Duke!
This was a tough decision, but, at the end of the day, the relationship I had with Coach (Jon) Scheyer and being able to get to know the players that they’ve got coming in really made me feel comfortable with my decision.
