Mitchell was always a kid from the New Hampshire area... Massachusetts..
People usually, like many other animals who possesses lesser intelligence, are territorial for the sake of being territorial. Often for the sake of their own feelings, like this thread is about. Knowing the differences in the territories does serve a much more practical purpose in the realm of basketball recruiting, because there's ever changing and unbalanced levels of competition to face in certain areas that are dense and scarce with talent, year over year or decade over decade.
BAck in the series of posts I made about Noah Vonleh I did explain why there are great sleepers from that area, specifically how u have like top100 guys that arent seen int hat light and fly way under the radar til their like seniors in HS, and boom not just a few years later Mitchell is a star and he's from that area and was highly ranked but not like craaazy highly ranked.
sports illustrated did show the dunk of him before he ever played a game in college... and thats when he was mentioned here.. When I made the first post about D. Mitchell on this forum, i was making a post about a kid from the New Hampshire area, not a new yorker...
