Like Willis Reed. If you replace "torn thigh muscle" with "can't write a basic essay."

It's takes a lot of courage to come back from such terrible accidents as not going to class/violently attacking my "loved" ones.

There is no doubt in my mind that Fab Melo will be back for our game. No doubt. Woodall came back for Pitt. Boatright came back for UConn. Heck, it wouldn't surprise me if Tim Abromaitis's knee suddenly gets better just in time for the Georgetown game. Either that or the NCAA decides to give him his 8th year of eligibility.

Seth Davis tweeted earlier that he expects fab to be back soon. Just "finishing up coursework."
And my bro at Syracuse just texted me: "Spotted: Fab Melo studying"
Of course he will be back for our game.

Nevermind, got clarification about what "studying" meant.
Apparently, "studying" at Syracuse means physically sitting in the back row of class "with their hoods up" texting on their phones.

Seems clear that Fab Boy did not get credit for a course he took (or at least registered for) last semester, so he is now going through some type of a compressed "independent study" course to get the credits he needs to be reinstated. They must have a Social media course at Newhouse, so texting is probably his final exam!

I hear that "Personal Hygene 101" and "Post-Syracuse Career Options -- A Survey of Local Fast Food Restaurants" are both pretty short courses at 'Cuse.

Give credit where credit is due. The NCAA enforcement arm has stepped up efforts to the point where even SU feels compelled to fake academic progress. There is no way on God's green earth that Pearl, Sherman or DC would have even faked make up work.

insider.espn.go.com/college-sports/recruiting/basketball/mens/story/_/id/8093101/ten-hs-stories-nba-draft-prospectsMelo is a true character The 7-foot, 255-pound center is the biggest teddy bear since Glen "Big Baby" Davis. Think about this: Syracuse had two Melos, but only one Fab. Fabricio de Melo is one of a kind. He's the guy who shows up to camp with cuts on his face, and you find out that he dove into the shallow end of a pool. He's the kid who checks in at a camp, gets handed his jersey, goes to the trainer to receive treatment (he hasn't even played yet) and somehow loses his jersey within the first 30 minutes of receiving his gear. That is Fab Melo, and he's one of a kind. Ha they really don't have to try very hard to make him seem like a total idiot.

Given Fab's well publicized arrest for a domestic violence incident, I'm not sure "teddy bear" is the most appropriate description here.

Gotta love the "loveable giant" image perpetrated by ESPN and morons like Seth Davis. Welcome to Sports "Journalism" where Good Quote = Good Guy and Bad Quote = Bad Guy, even if the former hits women or rapes people or whatever and the latter does charity work and is a loving spouse and parent.
