Pre-season ratings tend to be politically correct. Mitchell , by most accounts, is expected back for A-10 play while Rob Loe is expected to slip into Reed's spot. -- Duquesne Dukes Basketball Forum

In reply to: Slim 's message, "Interesting that they apparently took the St. Louis situation into account (since Kwamain Mitchell is absent from any of the teams) and yet still have SLU rated higher than us. Seems to me that us and SLU should be swapped (us #6 and SLU #8) but I guess our boys can prove that on the court." on Thursday, October 21, 02:48:35pm

Mitchell's late entry into the season and the nature of the absence and the uncertainty likely resulted in his omission.
The coaches also like to get as many teams involved in these pre-season selections as possible. There are 15 slots and 12 teams represented. Only UMass, St. Joes and suprisingly #5 Rhode Island are unrepresented.

The last I had read there was some question about whether Mitchell would even be eligible academically to play, even if he were reinstated to the university and the team; dependent upong whether he withdrew from classes, or dropped classes. That seems like a legit issue. At any rate, shouldn't these pre-season polls/teams be based on the players that are CURRENTLY on the roster? I guess it doesn't really matter since they have to prove it on the court anyway... (NT) -- Slim, Thursday, October 21, 04:24:19pm
