Like a lot of college students, Tony Mitchell has a story about what he did on summer vacation. The North Texas standout’s tale is just more interesting than most.

Mitchell spent a few days last week at the Amare Stoudemire Skills Academy in Chicago working out with some of the top big men in college basketball — not to mention the host, the New York Knicks’ All-Star forward.

“It went well,” Mitchell said this week after returning to UNT. “There were a lot of good players there. Everyone was competing and getting better.”

Mitchell was one of 14 players at the camp. Ohio State forward Deshaun Thomas, Creighton forward Doug McDermott and Kansas center Jeff Withey were some of the other high-profile players at the three-day academy.

Mitchell had the longest wingspan of them all, at 7 feet, 3 inches.

The players at the camp went through drills and competed for spots in the LeBron James Skills Academy, which will take place July 6-9 in Las Vegas.

      Oh, make no mistake, if my current employer can't get close then I am gone.

      Men's Golf at AAC Championship

      Currently tied for eight with ECU after round one at +6. The leaders are at -3. The good news is that Tucker Allen is tied for first in the medalist race at -4. Our 3-5 players need to step up. I found it interesting that Diego Prone, our best returning player, didn't play the opening round.

      Lost 4-1 to USF. Not a bad first year under a new coach.

      Ladies land Tech transfer

      We return the following guards: 5'9" So. Breanna Davis: Only played in 13 games (Daughter of Chris Davis) 5'8" So. Ereauna Hardaway: Started at PG. Good floor manager but doesn't score much. 5'8" R-Fr Desiree Wooten: Has the potential to be very good. 5'11" R-Fr Jahcelyn Hartfield: Only played in 7 games coming off an injured freshman year. 5'11" Fr. Shadasia Brackens: Played in 21 games. Incredible athlete that has the potential to be great. Brackens is listed as a G/F. Hartfield, with her height, could also play F. Brannon shot 40% from 3 this past year and provides experience this team needs since we lost Sham Duncan, J Moore, D Robinson and M Clearly from the backcourt.

      You are the exception to the rule. No judgment here but for 99% of people if they can 3x their income they are absolutely going to do it. Most younger folks in my profession will jump at even marginal increases. Some of these kids are not going to be playing professional football so if they can get a free education and pocket 100-300k with their degree then they are absolutely entitled and should be encouraged to do so.
