At least one basketball recruit is happy

With the Hawkins situation still looking bleak, it is good to know another one of Jim Christian's late additions is enjoying BC. Steffon Mitchell gave this Q&A about his outlook at BC and his development as a player. I still don't know if he is a difference maker, but maybe he will help the team culture a bit. It looks like we need it.

Basketball adds another commit

Jim Christian is using every scholarship he has on late bloomers. He added another one Friday in Kansas wing Steffon Mitchell. I have nothing against late offers. My favorite BC Basketball player of all time -- Jared Dudley -- was one. However, they are long shot propositions. As Mitchell even said, he only started talking to BC a month ago. I like that he is hungry and wants to prove himself at the highest level, but other than that we don't know much about him. Jim Christian and his staff can't know all that much either...or as much as they would on a kid they had been recruiting for years.

I hope this pays off. Congrats to Mitchell and I hope you become the next Jared Dudley.
