Nice to see him keep racking up the recognition awards...well deserved for the double-double machine!

This isn't the official one from the Big 12, for what it's worth.

Melvin Ejim is my favorite player ISU player of all time. Prior to that was Jeff Hornacek.

 

[swarthmoreCY]

Very deserving.

If he continues to improve over the next year, the outlook for next year would be significantly different.

StatSheet (another cool site) has Ejim this week too:

McGruder-McLemore will be a great (Irish?) match-up tomorrow night. Too bad it is not national on Big Monday.

Melvin sure busts his *** out there. Glad every time he gets his recognition :yes:

 

[DistrictCyclone]

Well deserved, indeed. MVP of this team so far; he's pretty close to averaging a double-double (he's had 8 of them so far, including 4 of his last 5).

So stupid. West Virginia-TCU gets ESPN2 on Wednesday, while the top two teams in the conference are forced to hear Dave fking Armstrong yack it up on the intertoobs.

It's well deserved. He's indispensable.

I still instinctively cringe when I see Ejim take a shot from behind the arc, but he has a 3pt% of .419 (2nd only to Tyrus' .453 on the team). It's impressive how much he's improved in that area...has CFH said anything about this in any of his press conferences?

He's so consistently outstanding that he almost goes unnoticed until you look at the box score. He is the foundation of the team.

I understand the desire to put some teams on other than KU for Big Monday, and despite UT-OU not carrying much, in theory the nation views OU-UT as a brand name match-up. But why not move UT-OU to the 5:30 eastern game? KSU-KU prime-time with two of the top players in the country in a good environment? And yes, if it were ISU in Baylor's or Ok St shoes, I would be against being moved to a regional broadcast on Tuesday.

Glad Melvin is getting recognition. I absolutely love the intensity he brings to the glass. Like the instance during the TCU game when he tipped it back up about 3 times before finally putting it in.

You guys remember when Melvin dropped that fool last year after an illegal screen. He immediatly walked off the court then appologized haha the guy is so nice but such a beast.

I can't remember the exact situation (score, how close the game was) but with the balance of the game taken out of the mix, that was awesome/hilarious all at the same time

Probably not new, but Melvin is worthy of a re-post anyways.Iowa State Student Athlete Spotlight: Melvin Ejim - Big 12 Conference - Official Athletic Site

Ejim is an amazing player. He works his butt off out there. Rebounding is so mental and he's so focused on getting boards it's phenomenal.

Plus, he's just an all-around outstanding example of Iowa State athletics. I had the pleasure of speaking with him for about ten minutes this summer and found him to be articulate, well-read and easy going. He's a real renaissance man!

 

[Clonefan17]

Great to see him get recognition don't know if we could win without him.
