The former Dallas Pinkston standout sat out an entire year after his plans to play for Missouri came to an end, setting him on a path to UNT.

Mitchell told his former Pinkston coach Nick Smith that he had something special in store for the occasion.

That pass provided him the perfect opportunity, and Mitchell didn’t disappoint, gathering in the feed from Chris Jones, jumping from halfway down the lane and throwing down a thunderous dunk to punctuate his UNT debut and a 69-55 win over Jackson State at the Super Pit.

“All the frustration was gone after that,” Mitchell said of the dunk. “It was a great feeling. I was trying to break the rim.”

What Mitchell accomplished might have been even more satisfying.

The 6-8 forward was a consensus top 20 prospect in the Class of 2010, but failed to qualify academically out of high school. He enrolled at UNT (5-5) early this year and couldn’t practice or play with his new teammates. He sat out and focused on his academic progress while earning the 24 credit hours he needed to become eligible.

Mitchell reached that goal on Friday, after receiving his first-semester grades.

I'm tempted to email bomb every address I can find for Dillards. Their ad is growing tiresome.

Are the ads personalized? I don't remember seeing one for Dillards.
