While Tyler's early offers lean heavily on the football side, he still is a potential Gopher basketball recruit so we are posting this Q&A here as well:

Looks like a project in terms of size, 6'10 and 205lbs. But seems to have garnered interest from several big time schools. Apparently was from Australia before moving to Florida.

The best part about this is the Epic amount of slow motion in this video.

See Steffon Mitchel received another offer. Anyone think the gophers offer him this summer maybe?

Doubt it because they don't need another wing.

Or where they included his handles to beat a guy, but then cut it out at the shot because he missed.

Michael Hurt says he's planning on talking to Gary Trent this summer... think it will work?

I personally think Trent is the longest shot for the Gophers over the next several years. He has seen Tyus' success, he's an elite recruit and he has many ties to Ohio. I'd like to see Michael working on Amir and Theo, and of course his brother!!!

Not going to throw a percentage on it, but feel like we have a decent shot at him, but the Duke's & Ohio St. etc. will make it hard to keep him home.

Trent Sr. will push for a blueblood for his son, its a very long shot.

Agreed. If a team like Duke or Kentucky comes with an offer, it's over. I even think Ohio State is ahead of the Gophers in this one.

Here is a video that was posted on Twitter of Steffon Mitchell's junior year high school highlights.

Lefty.....

 

[gopherhoopsguy]

Love this kids game

 

[goldenboy]

Dominant right hand dribbler and left hand shooter. Interesting combo.

 

[Otis]

Is he a point guard or a one man team?

Nice of those opposing defenses to double him so he can rack up easy assists! He looks intriguing.

 

[Blackhammer]

Mitchell needs an offer. We have no chance at Trent. Make Theo John a priority. Tre Jones unless he becomes a Duke blueblood type recruit to me is worth some effort.

I'd like to see him play against EYBL type talent. He looks absolutely huge compared to everyone in that video. He also doesn't look particularly athletic or quick.

Some of the video appeared to have him playing EYBL talent, including Trent Jr, Bertram, Tre Jones, Theo John, McKinley Wright, etc. Shakopee plays in the South Suburban conference which is a top 2 conference in the State. I'm sure the various colleges will be checking his athleticism during the open periods this summer to see if it rates as high major caliber.

I can't see Mitchell getting an offer until they know what Amir is going to do - unless another scholarship opens up of course. And Trent and Theo are in the 2017 class. Tre is 2018.
