Matthew Mitchell knows exactly what he’s looking for when he recruits a point guard.
There are a few traits, in particular, that the Kentucky Women’s Basketball head coach appears to seek out; impressive quickness, a nose for defense, and a motor that doesn’t know how to stop. Taylor Murray, Jaida Roper, and now Chasity Patterson, all exude those skills. Mitchell’s track record is stocked full of suffocating defenses, ones that are known to turn the opponent over at unprecedented rates. The point guard is his first line of defense. The first addition to Mitchell’s 2021 recruiting class is evidence he plans on maintaining that status.
