Melvin Oliver

Looks like we got Melvin Oliver

This guy sounds like a house.  How are we going to press if he can't run?  I don't think he fits the system.

House?  He sounds like he's the size of Boland Hall!

Gonzo like to run the 4 out 1 in ... He'll be the 1 in if he can get down the court.

So Melvin Oliver comes to the Hall this past weekend and doesn't have a signed letter of intent.  Why you ask?  Because The assistant coaches sent the LOI to the wrong address!  That's right!  They could not get the address right for this kid's school!

WTF is going on down there?  The assistant coaches at the Hall can't even get the address right?  Don't blow this one!  Big Mel is all but enrolled in class!  And these assistants are doing this?

It's about time ... Missed paperwork can mess a lot of things up.  Look at the misunderstanding with Glover.  He should have played last season.

Do you think Maurice Sutton is going to sign with the Hall?  Getting Sutton to the Hall would make this year's class pretty nice, especially if you throw Glover and Stix into that class. 

How about Jonathan Mitchell?  Hopefully he comes to the Hall as well.

I hadn't heard anything about him before, but he's at least got the size.  A closer look might be useful...don't get me wrong but at that size his stats aren't exactly incredible.  Of course it's very hard to tell because half of the time those big guys get triple-teamed in high school.

Either way, it sounds like a good signing.  Now let's make sure he can officially play and isn't Gloverized.
