Elijah Mitrou-Long – From NCAA Journeyman to Pro | The Baseline S3 Ep 18

Elijah Mitrou-Long has worn a lot of jerseys—but no matter where he plays, the mindset stays the same: prove it every single day. In this episode of The Baseline, we sit down with the Greek-Canadian guard who carved his own path through the NCAA, from Mount St. Mary’s to Texas, and now finds himself making noise in the Israeli Basketball Premier League 🇮🇱.

We talk about the mental grind of being doubted, transferring schools, and fighting for minutes, as well as what it means to earn respect overseas. Elijah opens up about hooping with a chip on his shoulder, how family and faith keep him grounded, and the transition from college ball to the pros.

Whether you're chasing the dream, hooping overseas, or just love stories about resilience and redemption—this one is for you.
