Makhi Mitchell: "I'm making the right decision to attend Maryland and I feel great about it. Over the next four years I am going to do my best and be coached by the best. Maryland has been my dream school ever since they were the first to start recruiting me early on. I've seen the success of guys like Melo Trimble, Kevin Huerter and Justin Jackson. I really like Coach Turgeon's coaching style and the way he bases his program around his players' skill sets. He is a great person."

Head Coach Mark Turgeon: "Makhi is a very versatile player who will come in as a four, but also has the ability to play the five. He handles the ball well, is a great passer and is an efficient scorer around the basket. He has great hands and catches and rebounds everything that comes his way."

Angelo Hernandez, Head Coach at Woodrow Wilson: "Makhi brings great leadership – I think it's his best quality. It's one of the biggest things he's brought to our team this year. He has the skillset of a guard and is a great shooter. He's really crafty with the ball. He's a great passer. He's just an overall good player and a great student in the classroom."

John Perry, AAU Coach DC Premier: "Makhi has great skill and toughness. He can play away from the basket and with his back to the basket. He loves the opportunity to take on other big men and never shies away from a challenge."

Corey Evans, 247Sports Basketball Recruiting Analyst: "Makhi has a visibly polished skill set that will translate to the college game. He's done a great job getting his body right before he gets to college. He's a killer of a producer when it comes to making shots, rebounding, passing and blocking shots. He's everything you look for in college basketball as an immediate cog in the interior."

Brian Snow, 247Sports Basketball Recruiting Analyst: "Makhi Mitchell is a skilled big man who can certainly play center and some power forward. He has range that extends to about 18-feet. He can handle the ball off the dribble and he's also a good rebounder. He needs to continue to improve on his possession-to-possession focus, but he has the potential to be an impact player in the Big Ten."

Makhel Mitchell: "Signing with Maryland is a dream come true. I've worked hard for this moment. Nothing was given. Coach Turgeon believed in me every step of the way. Maryland has a great atmosphere and so many players have come through the program and had success. Maryland has great fans and a great coach in Coach Turgeon. Makhi and I always talked about playing with each other, so it feels great. Coach Turgeon always talks about being ready, so we will be ready."

Head Coach Mark Turgeon: "Makhel has great size and great hands. He is great around the basket and can score with both right and left hands. He is also a great passer for his position. He continues to get better every time he steps on the court."

Angelo Hernandez, Head Coach at Woodrow Wilson: "Makhel is a great leader on the court. It's one of his best qualities. I've really enjoyed coaching him. He is exciting to watch on the floor. Makhel is a really good shooter with great post moves. He's a great rebounder and a great student."

John Perry, AAU Coach DC Premier: "What really stands out about Makhel is his physical and unselfish play. He has great court awareness and he loves the game. He plays the game the right way and he likes to see his teammates succeed. He is always going to play really hard and hold his brother accountable. He really takes pride in the entire team playing hard."

Brian Snow, 247Sports Basketball Recruiting Analyst: "Makhel Mitchell is a big-bodied center who has gotten better throughout his high school career. He has very good hands and a pretty nice scoring touch on the low block. Once he gets into a college strength program his game should improve."
