Houston CB waiting for first offer

When you are being recruited during your junior year in high school and you move it is hard for college coaches to keep up. It is hard enough for coaches to keep in touch well enough with recruits anyway but if they move it becomes twice as hard. So far that has shown in the case of Houston (Texas) Washington cornerback Courtney Mitchell.

“I was getting a lot of mail last year from schools but then I moved,” the 5-foot-10, 187-pound Mitchell said. “I am getting mail again now but many of the schools that were sending me mail before don’t know my new address I guess.”

Even though some schools have not caught up with Mitchell he says that a few have found his new home and have started sending letters again.

“I have been getting a lot of letters from Texas Tech and Arkansas,” he said. “Over the summer I spoke to coaches from Arkansas and Northwestern and I am also getting mail from Northwestern, Tulane and UCLA.”

The contact with Mitchell has been increasing and he thinks he will get offers in the future.

“I am pretty confident that I will get an offer,” he said. “I hope I get an offer sooner rather than later.”

Mitchell did go on to say that one school is recruiting him the hardest and that two others stick out the most right now.

“Texas Tech is sending me the most mail and is recruiting me the hardest I guess,” he said. “Out of the five schools that I get mail from I like Arkansas and Northwestern the most though. Those are the two schools that I have spoken with coaches so far.”
