I've said repeatedly that he can be what we hoped that Jeff Ferguson would have become.

My only contention is the comparison, favorably at that, to Bowers. That is an absurd comparison. No coach is going to be able to get production like that out of Mitchell because he simply doesn't have that capacity.
