I think calling Mitchell one of your "two best players," might be a bit of a stretch. He's a good player no doubt, but as a PG he owns a 1 to 1.4 assist to TO ratio from last year. If he doesn't improve that stat dramatically one of two conclusions must be drawn:

1. You are wrong
2. UNI does not posses much talent.

I would submit that in addition to Tuttle, James, Sonnen and Koch are all currently better than Mitchell. In fact, the only category that Mitchell ranked in the top two for UNI last season was turnovers (#1). Mitchell is a fine young player none-the-less.

In one of the closer votes thus far, Northern Iowa has been chosen by our users as the likely 3rd place finisher in 2012-13 MVC hoops.
