Shelton Mitchell: "This is where I really want to be"

Shelton Mitchell has been recruited twice by the Clemson basketball coaches, but it was the third time that made him realize he wanted to be a Tiger.

The former 4-star Waxhaw (NC) Oak Hill Academy point guard decided to transfer after his freshman season at Vanderbilt, and it only took a weekend visit to Clemson for Mitchell to know that Clemson and the ACC were the place for him.

Mitchell told TigerNet that the relationships he forged with the Clemson coaches prior to his commitments to Wake Forest and ultimately Vanderbilt made Clemson the easy choice.

"I think my relationship that I've built when they were recruiting me the other two times really helped because I already felt comfortable with the entire staff," Mitchell told TigerNet Sunday evening.
