5* Fab Melo to Choose College Today...

**EKUAlum05** · 08-04-2009, 12:45 PM

In the spirit of fairness and balance the time has FINALLY come to post a thread about a 5 Star recruit potentially choosing to attend UL. Big Grin

Seriously, Melo is the #2 Center Prospect in next year's class and rated by Rivals as the #5 player in the class overall. He is 7' 270 and has outstanding face up skills. It is between UL and Syracuse.

Haven't heard a lot about Melo. I'm gonna go do some research on him.

270's not that big for a 7' guy, but he certainly isn't starving to death either. It's about like a 6'5 guy being 245. Think linebacker or tight end size.

Good luck Syracuse. lol

Any word yet on when or who he has chosen?

**Stardust** · 08-04-2009, 02:50 PM

Shaq at Cole HS 275
Shaq when he was at LSU 300
Shaq now 325

So to my point, he is Shaq size. Shaq is 7-1, so the extra 5 pounds goes to the 1 extra inch, making them virtually the exact same size at this stage of their career.

I would love to see him at Syracuse. That's a big ol' boy.

Jimmy Dugan · 08-04-2009, 04:15 PM

I read somewhere that he is expected to pick syracuse.

Yeah, it's been reported that Syracuse will be his ultimate decision, but with recruiting, who knows.
