In an unexpected development Vanderbilt has announced that freshman point guard Shelton Mitchell is transferring.

Personal reasons were cited as the cause in the release from the school.

Mitchell, 6-2.5, 186-pounds, is from North Carolina and attended Oak Hill Academy in Virginia. He was ranked No. 92 in the 247Sports Composite for the class of 2014.

He averaged 4.3 points and 3.3 assists per game last season for Vanderbilt.

Mitchell chose Vanderbilt over Missouri after decommitting from Wake Forest after the coaching change. VCU and Charlotte also have new coaches.
