Duquesne Basketball Recruiting
Duquesne Basketball Reaches Out To Pepperdine Transfer Mike Mitchell, Jr.
The Duquesne Dukes have reached out to Pepperdine guard Mike Mitchell Jr., who recently entered his name in the NCAA Transfer Portal.
Mitchell is a 6’2, 185-pound guard from San Jose, California and he’ll have 2 seasons of athletic eligibility remaining.

Last season for Pepperdine, Mitchell played in 31 games and averaged 11.4 points, 5.0 assists, 4.1 rebounds, while playing 33 minutes per game. As a freshman, he put up similar numbers, averaging 9.1 points, 4.9 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game.

Duquesne would be looking at Michell as a replacement for Tevin Brewer in their starting lineup.
Considering he’s from California, it would appear that Duquesne would have to do a lot of work and be competitive with NIL opportunities for Mitchell, but PSN has learned that the Duquesne staff has a good relationship with Mitchell’s AAU coaches, so that could be a factor in Duquesne’s favor.
