That seems like a stretch. Probably depends on what you consider a Championship contender. If they don't get any flops out of Mitchell, P Pressey, and Ratliffe, they'll be bringing back a very talented and extremely deep roster, that would probably be considered a Top 10 team. I have to assume these two coming in with Paul and Stone going out squashes the rumor of that SIU transfer coming in, right? Yep. Gabe DeArmond said that they were going to use Stone's scholarship towards 2011, which would mean someone wouldn't qualify this year. Apparently Green's an even bigger uncertainty than Mitchell, and given his shredded achilles I wonder if he never makes it to Columbia(which might not be terrible for him with the current roster). Obviously I don't want to root against a player trying to make it to campus, but as long as Mitchell gets here I don't really care what happens with Green.
