In need of a wing to help round out the roster, Texas found a familiar face to play the role in the returning Dillon Mitchell.
Texas forward Dillon Mitchell and guard Tyrese Hunter celebrate a score against Kansas during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game in Austin, Texas, Saturday, March 4, 2023. AUSTIN — Dillon Mitchell took it right down to the wire.
For all the roster-building, recruiting and re-recruiting first-year head coach Rodney Terry had done this offseason, Texas was still lacking on the wing. Mitchell’s return addresses that. Even among that group, Mitchell could emerge as this team’s X-factor, the long-limbed key to unlocking a level that’ll be needed to contend with national title favorite Kansas, new Big 12 member Houston and the rest of the nation’s deepest conference.
“You don’t play half-court offense with Dillon Mitchell,” Terry said in March. “You get him out in the floor, you let him be athletic on both ends of the floor. We recruited to play faster and not compromise our defense. He fit that.”
