MANILA, Philippines – De La Salle University has secured the transfer of one-and-done Filipino-American standout DeRohn Mitchell Jr., an inside source confirmed to Rappler on Saturday, July 30.
The 6-foot shooting guard will have to undergo one year of residency because he will be considered a masters-level transfer student, and then play his lone season with the Green Archers in UAAP Season 86 in 2023. La Salle was able to bridge a connection with Mitchell in large part because of his family’s ties with the university. His Filipina mother, Monica, is the daughter of a notable DLSU alumnus, Tony Alvarez, who is also a “financial whiz” in the United States, according to the insider.
Mitchell and his family are set to fly back to the United States in the next few days, but he is expected to return in January to participate in the Green Archers’ post-UAAP tournaments and attend face-to-face classes.
