Owens signs Mitchell
KU basketball coach Ted Owens has salvaged his recruiting season by signing pivot man Victor Mitchell of Amarillo, Texas, Junior College.
Mitchell, a 6-10, 240-pounder, had eliminated KU from consideration more than a week ago, narrowing his choices to South Alabama and Texas. He had signed with Texas after his freshman year at Kansas State University. He will join junior college for his sophomore season.
Ki also announced the signing of 6-4 forward Mark Summers, a teammate of Mitchell's, and 6-4 forward Brian Martin of Wichita North High School.
Mitchell was set to sign with Texas again this year, but the Longhorns made a 6-9 pre-All-American center late last week. Mitchell had two starts and Anderton for Owens, who had been
searching for a big man with scoring punch, Mitch decided to sign with KU. He averaged 26 points and 13 rebounds last season, and he broke the single season record set by him in 1970-71 by Larry Kenon, who with the NBA in San Antonio Spurs.
For Owens and his staff, signing Mitchell ended a long recruiting battle.
Mitchell, a second-team NJCAA All-America, shot 60 percent from the field. He scored a school record 55 points against Hilliard in the senior national junior college playoffs in early March.
"We started hearing about Vie a year ago when we were looking for a big man." Owens said the signing, "Then it appeared we had found him too late. But when he did not he went to Paris (after his freshman year) we followed him all year."

"If we can win the first game, we'll be in the middle of it," Ku Coach Bob Stancil said. "It'll be a very tough game, especially if it's against their best pitcher but has beat us twice."
