At least one history professor "wishes" that Melvin wasn't as talented at basketball as he is, so that we could recruit him for graduate school. That prof loves basketball, he just know that Melvin will essentially have other things to do.
Another had no idea that Melvin is on our team, which spoke to his quiet nature about things. One day this season, he found out, and mentioned "So I hear that you're a big deal." Apparently, Melvin kind of blushed, then shrugged the idea off.

I found this article on Ejim after reading your post:
HISTORY IN THE MAKING | College of Liberal Arts and Sciences
Pretty cool. There's always room for graduate school after the pros.

Exactly. He could afford it on his own, but he probably wouldn't have to. That guy would excel.
I haven't gotten to talk history with him, but he's made that impression on every single prof that he's had. It seems like a consistent trend.
I remember his freshman year; he got into foul trouble so often and so early, because of his aggressive play. It is so cool to see how he has dealt with that and other skills like his shooting range to become the great all around player that he is today. Very nice to see.
I'm glad to see a guy who's making use of his chance to get education. I know it's different to keep up with both, but he's doing it :yes:
Don't get me wrong, Melvin busts his butt out there, probably the hardest worker on the floor most nights but I think his bball IQ is underrated. He is always in the right spots to make buckets, get boards, or at least tip the ball out to someone else. It seems like he always talking to the other guys, and coaching staff as well. I like to think of him as the poster boy for Fred's player development. The best thing is.....we get another year to watch him play!
I will agree but I thought we were going with DG was the poster boy for Fred's development?
