From the coaching staff:
"Mitch was an excellent shooter, a smart player and a constant worry for opposing defenses. His hard work and attention to detail over the last four years serve as an example to all of us. He was a terrific defensive player and led our team in charges taken. Mitch was a selfless athlete who led our team by the quality of his work ethic on the court and the positive way he interacted with everyone around him. He will be missed not only for his excellent play but for his sense of humor and enjoyment of his teammates." - March 2020

What others say:
"Mitch is one of those guys whose presence is always positive and contagious because of his humor." - March 2020

"Mitchel was an extremely hard worker, not gifted with size, speed, or strength, but played like he had all of those things. He was extremely intelligent on the court and in the classroom, and was always ready to crack a joke or hit you with a funny one liner. Mitchel was an integral part of our success this year, and that's from somebody who came in and almost went his full freshman year without playing, to making a huge impact. He is very loved in our program and will be missed a ton." - March 2020 

"Mitch is the heart of the team. He can always make people laugh and always brings good energy. Whenever we need that morale boost, Mitch is the guy to go to. He's a great shooter and an even greater locker room guy." - April 2020

"Mitchel has been a great representative of RPI during his tenure at the Institute. His focus and drive, both in the classroom and on the court, allowed him to thrive in a community of exceptional student-athletes. Additionally, his ability to provide comedic relief in any situation, among other things, has left a lasting impact on me. My time at RPI would not have been the same without him." - April 2020

"Mitchel was one of my best friends, he was fun off and on the court. But when it was time to lock in he was ready to go and all about business. Going to really miss him." - April 2020

"One of the best teammates and an elite sharpshooter." - April 2020
