We already knew that there would be at least one corner in the 2012 class thanks to Hugs Etienne enrolling early at Wisconsin. Well, welcome corner #2 to the class in the form of Reggie Mitchell. He is also one of two kids coming to Wisconsin from the Pittsburgh area despite the loss of the coaches that originally recruited him.

Quick Thoughts:
– What jumps off the page at me is talented, but raw.
– He clearly needs time in the weight room and depending on the service you look at he weighs anywhere from 160 to 180lbs. and that’s just not gonna cut it in the Big Ten against some very physical and big wide receivers, not to mention the running backs you may be trying to tackle in space.
– Right now his biggest strength is his athletic ability as the kid makes up for some technique mistakes with that ability.
– Given time he could develop and he’s another player that strikes me as an under the radar player that may produced later in his career at Wisconsin.
