2022 forward Dillon Mitchell is highly regarded but most people probably didn’t see this coming: Elite Overtime has offered him $2 million.
Aside from some basic questions, like how EO can keep paying such high salaries without a meaningful gate, give this idea some thought:
Mitchell should leverage this deal.
How?
He’s likely considering several schools and Tennessee is seen as the favorite.
If we were advising Mitchell, and maybe indirectly we are, we’d tell him to not be in a rush.
What he should do is to publicly announce that he’ll go to Tennessee, or one or two other schools, if local businesses and perhaps some national ones too, can crowd source to raise more than $2 million.
