As reported last night by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, SLU basketball players Willie Reed and Kwamain Mitchell are currently not enrolled in school stemming from a sexual assault charge from May 1.
This is for certain, SLU will be without the two players to start the season and likely until January. It was recommended by the school's conduct committee that both players be suspended for one year.
That recommendation was set aside by the university and both players will be allowed to return to school in January if they meet certain conditions. According to Mitchell's attorney, he intends to return in January, but Reed, who insists he did nothing wrong, doesn't plan on returning.
Willie Reed Sr. said his son plans to ask SLU for a release from his athletic scholarship so he can play elseware.
The departures come at a time when the Billikens were looking at their best squad in years after they had planned on returning all five starters from their 2009 squad.
