Highly sought after recruit Mark Mitchell said he was “joining the Brotherhood” during a Friday afternoon announcement ceremony.
Mitchell chose Duke over Missouri and UCLA.
With his family around him, Mitchell said that he chose Duke largely because of the relationship he had developed with incoming Duke coach Jon Scheyer.
Scheyer had already put together the nation’s top recruiting class even before he has coach a game. Mitchell joins Derek Lively, Kyle Filipowski, Dariq Whitehead and Jaden Schutt. Mitchell, Lively, Filipowski and Whitehead are all now seen as Top Ten recruits or, at a minimum, Top 20.
