I'm so confused, but welcome back. These Mitchell brothers sure have thrown me for a loop or two.

Ohio State Basketball: What Mickey Mitchell Will Bring to 2015-16 Buckeyes
Head coach Thad Matta and the Ohio State basketball program landed the versatile forward they needed in the class of 2015—for the second time.
He decommitted to be closer to his family in Texas, but he still took a visit to Ohio State's campus to watch the football game against Virginia Tech. The combination of the more than 107,000 people in the stands, being on campus with his fellow classmates and future teammates, spending time with the coaching staff and even seeing LeBron James in scarlet and gray must have made an impact.
Now that Mitchell is once again part of the Buckeyes' 2015 recruiting class, it is worth delving into what he brings to the table.
There is a reason why this is such a critical commitment for Matta. Per 247Sports' composite rankings, the 6'7", 210-pound Mitchell is a 4-star prospect who is rated as the No. 103 player nationally, No. 16 small forward and No. 10 recruit from the state of Texas. Teams like SMU, Baylor and Florida were all in on his recruitment at some point.
When discussing what Mitchell brings to the Buckeyes for the 2015-16 season, we have to look at the rest of the 2015 class that will be hitting campus with him and the roster as a whole.
Matta has accumulated the No. 5-ranked class, according to 247Sports, that features a 4-star commitment at every position except for power forward. While the touted overall class ranking is certainly nice, that type of positional depth in a single class is critical as Matta tries to reestablish Ohio State among the nation's elite programs.

Perhaps Mitchell's best ability on the offensive end is his passing. He possesses great court vision and a high basketball IQ that would allow him to fill in at point guard if needed. He is more than comfortable running an offense and creating for himself or others.
Mitchell is a versatile player who can score in a variety of ways at a position that Ohio State needed more depth for heading into the 2015-16 season. This is a critical addition to a young roster that is talented enough to make a run at a Final Four or two in the next few years.
Once again, Matta delivered on the recruiting trail.
