It may be my fault that Doyel noticed Southall. A few weeks ago he wrote an article about how rare it is for a college basketball player to have a triple double and he listed 10 players that could possibly do it this year. After Southall hit the triple double, I emailed this writer to tell him about it and also mentioned to him that Mitchell is as good a candidate as any in the country for this rare accomplishment.Originally Posted by NewsCopy
Here is the article:

Doyel seemed very interested in this topic when he recently wrote the article, so maybe this is how he noticed Southall and then looked up a few articles on him and jumped to conclusions, just as the national media does about everything now. It is really just entertainment, loosely based on actual knowledge and news. It is much more interesting for most people, unfortunately, to read about a thug / gangster / drug dealer playing D-1 basketball than it is for them to read about a nice kid who has made mistakes and is now getting a second chance and using it to become a productive adult...
Anyway, I just have a feeling that Doyel noticed Southall because he is fascinated about the college basketball triple double...
What a joke this writer is! I have lost all respect for him...
