I thought it would be appropriate to start a thread for the upcoming season like was done for Pinkel's boys.

Here is some interesting info released by mutigers.com:

I don't know about the previous years, but the 10 this year is just conference games. The Arch Rivalry will certainly be a national game as well.

Just get Tony Mitchell to campus, and these next two years could be incredible.

yeah, this Tony Mitchell stuff is a bit worrisome.

What's going on with Mitchell? I hadn't heard anything.

He transferred to his Dallas High School from somewhere in FL, and not all his credits transferred, so to make it up he took some make up exams, and apparently made up 9 classes in 2 days. Not impossible since early years of high school aren't exactly rocket science, but the school district is investigating it. No impropriety on Mizzou's part, but Mitchell can't play if he never graduates HS.

Damn. What's worst case? Enroll in January or next year?

Not sure. I'd think it'd be January, since all he'd have to do is get his diploma over the summer/fall. Mitchell's social media comments and the coaching staff's attitude has been pretty laissez-faire about the whole ordeal though, so I think they're counting on Mitchell being there from Day 1.

Mitchell is out until January.

IMO, this was best case scenario for Mitchell and the Tigers considering the circumstances.

I haven't seen anything indicating he's for sure going to make it for next semester. Just that he didn't make it for the fall and he's still trying to get everything squared away and enrolled.
