(AP) --  Saint Louis has readmitted Kwamain Mitchell,
the junior point guard who was suspended just before the start of
fall practices.

The school said in a release Thursday that Mitchell was eligible
to enroll in classes for the spring semester. Mitchell's
educational record, including academic standing and matters
relating to student contact, were reviewed in making its decision.

Mitchell and center Willie Reed, who also was suspended, were
the Billikens' top two returning players from last season. Saint
Louis is 5-9 without them, in addition to being without ailing
coach Rick Majerus for the next two games.

 Upon receiving clearance by the NCAA, Mitchell would be eligible
to participate immediately. Majerus has said in the past that he
would advise Mitchell, who averaged 15.9 points and three assists
last season, to redshirt this season.
