MICKEY MITCHELL TALKS RECRUITING. Mike Mitchell, a former blue chip recruit/OSU LB, transferred to Texas Tech to be closer to his ailing father. Mickey Mitchell, Mike's little brother and then a 2015 basketball commit, severed his ties with Ohio State shortly thereafter.
In a twist of fate, however, Thad Matta hung onto Mitchell. All it took was the #teen turning against his nature.
From Bill Landis of Cleveland.com:
"I never wanted to leave (Ohio State)," Mickey told NEOMG last week by phone from Texas. "One of the toughest things I've had to do was decommitting because I love Thad Matta, all the staff. But at the same time right then and there my mindset was I need to help my family out."
It took convincing from everyone in Mickey's life that it was OK to make a decision for himself. That ran counter to everything he had done in his life up to that point. Being selfish wasn't an option.
There were truthers who insisted Mike Mitchell transferred due to lack of playing time, and that his father "wasn't really" sick. I think those people owe Ken Mitchell an apology:

"I haven't seen my kids play in over a year," Ken said. "That's probably been the toughest thing."
[...]
Ken suffers from cluster headaches, a rare disease with no known cure that debilitates sufferers with excruciatingly painful headaches up to nine times per day. It's been called the "suicide headache" because the pain is so severe that it's caused people to take their own life during an attack or in anticipation of one.
/salute to the Mitchell family, and I hope Mike registers 12 sacks in an upset win over Baylor's sorry ass.​

 

Mitchell will be wearing #00
