According to a report from Cecil Hurt with the Tuscaloosa News, Devin Mitchell has been granted a release from his scholarship to the University of Alabama. Mitchell joins Ricky Tarrant as the second player to be granted a release since Coach Avery Johnson took over the program as head coach.

Want to say thank you to The University of Alabama & the fans for the support over the last year, but I've been granted my release ! — Devin Mitchell (@D_Mitch23) April 14, 2015

As a freshman, Mitchell logged 76 minutes in 14 games played. Mitchell shot .130 from field goal range as well as .118 from beyond the arc. He averaged 0.6 points per game.

Whenever a new coach comes aboard, there is usually some attrition from guys leaving that may not like the way things may be heading from a game plan standpoint or possibly because they were attached to the previous coaching staff.

No destination school or possibility was given from Hurt in his report.

Coach Avery Johnson and staff has already been out this week giving out offers to 2017 recruits as well as some for 2016.
