Mitchell receives permission to transfer

Florida forward Jonathan Mitchell has asked for and received permission to transfer, school officials said Friday.

Mitchell played in all 35 games this season with one start. He averaged 3.1 points and 1.8 rebounds in 11.4 minutes per game.

The 6-foot-7 Mitchell was a highly touted recruit who averaged 19.5 points and nearly eight rebounds and led Mount Vernon (New York) High to a Class 4A state title. But he never seemed to find his place on the Gators' squad. He showed signs at times of the talent he possessed in high school but never had any consistency with the Gators.
