Reason why I haven’t updated the Top 25+10…

News continues to surface from expected major players on the national scene surrounding injuries, arrests, and other bad news.

First and foremost, the pair of Memphis players arrested for inciting a riot have failed to show up for court today. Yes, I’m serious. Making the mistake once is unexcusable, but missing your court date? Don’t look for these two to have much more of a future with the Tigers.

Much-heralded freshman OJ Mayo has broken USC’s sophomore point guard Daniel Hackett’s jaw. Not in a fight, however - a pickup game. Hackett’s jaw was fractured multiple times, and he will miss the first few games of the season. One wonders whether or not Hackett will be 100% - or even play - for the Anaheim Tournament featuring Southern Illinois and Mississippi State.

These among many are reasons why I have failed to reproduce a Top 25+10. Look for it in a few weeks. Relatively soon I will be revealing my choices for the SEC preseason awards.
