He gives us nothing that other guys cannot. Everything he does, somebody else does better and more athletically.
No More Mitchell
- Thread starter thedahc
- Start date
Give bulk of the minutes to Edwards and Thiero at the 4. This isn't hard Cal.
No effort nonchalant player - it’s unreal from what he was early in year till now
Play Burks his minutes at least he hustles

Rather see Burke out there, he can’t rebound or do anything on O. A wvu friend of mine said “good luck” when we got him…..definitely correct. This game is too much for him, he can’t play in it or shown he can’t in the 1st half.
I appreciate that the kid is trying to play through injuries, but he has to know he's hurting the team at this point.
I don't even think he's injured any more. Think a lot of it is just mental from being out so long.
Just came here to post sit Tre Mitchell’s f#%+!n *** down Cal he is HURTING us open your eyes.
How is it possible for a player to have such a stretch of plays where he is actively hurting the team? He doesn't defend well, he is lazy with his effort, he doesn't rebound unless it bounces right to him, he's a turnovef machine loses the ball, offensive fouls preinbound, and he hasn't hit a jump shot in 2 months.
I can't believe it honestly. How does a guy who was at least a pick and pop weapon early in the season become worse than a statue on offensive and only slightly better than one on defense.

He’s mentally weak. He’s not a tough kid. He looked good till we got to conference play then he got exposed. All he’s good at is making the “too small” sign. UK coaches of the past would tell him to sit the F down and shut the F up until you’ve actually won something of substance.
Cal's choice to insert him with 2 min to go instead of Z was STUPID !! But cal is stupid , so
Yep. I said this months ago and was ridiculed over it. Dude is soft.
He was great early in the season. Not sure if it’s the injury, he’s worn down or what, but damn he sucks something awful right now.
He is still shaking off some rust. Hopefully he will come around, but he needs to play sparingly until he is back in synch.
I agree Cal is not a good coach. I think he didn’t play Thiero or Z because both had two fouls. But, Burks may give us more than Mitchell tge wsy Tre has been playing lately.
It’s unconscionable how bad he has gotten. Stop with the rust stuff, he is making horrific decisions.
Mitchell is obviously not healthy physically.
Can't bounce back from injury just not enough time for him to get back into rhythm
All of the minutes at the 4 should be divided amongst Edwards and Thierro, maybe a minute or two of burks
Tre is literally playing spot minutes because of fouls. We need him to play these minutes. Need Ugo’s rim protection so it’s hard getting Ivisic in. It’s not that Ivisic can’t play in this one, it just might not be the game for him, the way it’s going. Hopefully down the stretch we see the Rob & Z connection working.
That was a guaranteed 2 points they were gonna try to give to UT. Ridiculous.
Rick Barnes is comfortable right here. He likes to play possum, this is where he gets slick. A stop and score off this timeout blows all that up. Keep firing on all cylinders and extend this out to 18 and Tennessee is gonna get a bit wide eyed.
If true, he should not be playing
If he can't make 3's, he's a liability on offense because he is not very good Posting up against the better teams. On defense, he isn't athletic enough to stop another athletic Big and our other 3 Bigs have passed him. At the 4 I like Adou, Bradshaw or even Edwards sliding down there a WHOLE LOT better.
Hate it for the kid because he has been an AWESOME team mate, but it's time for our other younger players now.

Edwards and Adou get the mins at the 4. That forces the 3 guard lineup. Mitchell splits the 5 mins with the three 7 footers. That’s the best version of this team.
I agree play Burks, maybe it will give him a reason to return next year. Cal loves him some Mitchell though.
Mitchell doesn't look close to being healthy with the way he's moving around
Agree Mitchell doesn’t need to be playing anything other than spot mins when guys are in foul trouble. He’s either not 100% or has regressed. Either way he’s a liability at this point.
Tre has been injured and probably should not get as many minutes.
My problem? Tre has been a blessing to this team and deserves no ridicule.
Anyone who thinks otherwise? No more Mitchell?
**** you, you're pathetic!
Bye now.....

You guys turn on a player so fast. So now its Mitchell. It was Edwards and Wagner for a long while. Mitchell carried us for the first half of the season. Thiero may totally beat him out but Mitchell is very capable and I am glad we have him.
After a great win shitting on a player. UK fans never cease to amaze me.
It doesn’t matter what he has been. It is tournament time and the only thing that matters now is doing everything you can to win. I don’t think this guy needs to play a single minute. We have plenty of bigs and Edwards and Thiero can play 20 minutes each at the 4.
Honestly, Tre is shitting on UK at the moment. I mean he’s so bad it almost seems like he’s trying to help the other team.
Calm down with the "you guys" stuff.
I have always supported Wagner and Edwards. Please find once that I have not....just once
In fact I'm always accused of being a sunshine pumper.
Mitchell has not been good for a while.
We got into the SEC schedule and he is just overwhelmed athletically
He's just OK and we have better options than just OK
It's almost worth keeping him on the bench based on his antics on the bench.
Spot minutes are OK, but he was the first sub into the game.
This.
I love Mitchell and he helped us win some games early on, but he is clearly not 100% and out of synch. Play him sparingly until he is ready to contribute. We’ve got Thiero and Edwards playing very well. Give them most of the minutes at the 4.
