Mitchell Sets RU Visit

Jonathan Mitchell has set his visit to Rutgers.

Mitchell will visit Rutgers May 5-7, immediately following his visit to Seton Hall the weekend of May 2.

As first reported Friday by ZAGSBLOG, the 6-foot-7 Mitchell is no longer considering St. John’s and will decide between Rutgers and Seton Hall. Both schools have offered.

“It’s really those two,” Herb Mitchell, Jonathan’s uncle, said Friday. “We’re going into it with our eyes open and we’re taking it from there.”

Mitchell, a former Mr. Basketball in New York State while at Mount Vernon, will have to sit out next season after transferring from Florida.
