I think it’s a Mohawk. I could be wrong. Could be a high-and-tight. I do know I pay far too much attention to these things. What matters is this: Everyone thinks WVU is getting a guy who is a shooter to replace Al Ruoff, but it turns out that’s an old skill he’s added to at Chipola College.

“They’re planning on plugging Casey into that role,” Heiar said. “They’ve got everyone else back and they’re going to be a really good team next year. That team has a chance to go to the Final Four next year with the addition of Casey.”

Heiar said that Mitchell had the skills, particularly the scoring skills, to be a difference-maker for West Virginia the next two seasons.

“The thing about Casey is he came here as a shooter and he’s leaving as a scorer,” the coach said. “He can get baskets, he can get to the free throw line, get to the rim, he’s got a floater, he can catch and shoot 3-pointers, he can shot fake, he has a lot of dribble moves…he can just score in so many ways. He’s the best scorer that I’ve coached. I think he’ll continue to do that at the next level.”

Mitchell shot 45 percent from the field as a sophomore, including 34 percent from the 3-point line and 80 percent from the free throw line. His 20 ppg was twice what Mitchell averaged as a freshman.

Sounds like an all-world talent and makes you wonder why he doesn’t just head to the NBA. Naturally, there’s a reason, and WVU will do for the time being. You can get a look at him now before he arrives this summer.
