Charles Mitchell has announced that he will transfer to Georgia Tech.  In an odd series of events, Mitchell and Robert Carter Jr basically switched teams after playing in the same conference a year ago.  Mitchell will apply for a waiver which would allow him to play immediately.

“I loved playing for Coach. He is a great man and great coach. The reason I decided to leave Maryland is to be near my grandmother who has been ill over the past year,” Mitchell said in the release. “Knowing that she raised me and is still a very big part of my life, I decided to move closer to home. It’s important for me to be there for my grandmother and to help support my family. I didn’t want to leave, but I have to put my family first.

“I really enjoyed playing with my teammates and I’ve had a lot of great memories over the last two seasons. I’m grateful for the experiences I’ve had and wish Maryland nothing but success in the future.”

Mitchell averaged 6.5 points per game and 6.3 rebounds per game last season for Maryland.  If available, Mitchell could fill a hole left in the Georgia Tech frontcourt that saw Daniel Miller and Kammeon Holsey graduate and Carter Jr transfer.  The Yellow Jackets will have Robert Sampson eligible next season as well as incoming Alabama transfer Demarco Cox.
