From the article...
• Alongside the impressive freshman debuts of Ohio State's Jared Sullinger (19 points, 14 rebounds vs. North Carolina A&T), Tennessee's Tobias Harris (19 points vs. Chattanooga), Duke's Kyrie Irving (17 points, nine assists vs. Princeton) and N.C. State's C.J. Leslie (21 points vs. Tennessee Tech), there were some lesser-known freshmen who had impressive starts last week. Sullinger's teammate, Deshaun Thomas, scored 24 points in the win. Marquette forward Davante Gardner had 17 points in 13 minutes against Florida A&M. Most memorable of all, Maryland point guard Pe'Shon Howard had 14 points, including a game-winning 17-foot jumper with three seconds left, against the College of Charleston. (That was technically the Terps' second game, but since it was on ESPNU it qualified as a coming-out party.) On the flip side, Syracuse's Fab Melo fouled out twice against Northern Iowa and Canisius, and it only took him 18 and 13 minutes, respectively. Some people say we scribes pay too much attention to freshmen, but I disagree. They keep college hoops exciting and, well, fresh.

Glad to see him mention Ox, but we haven't played Isaiah Thomas' team as far as I can recall. Prairie View A&M is from Texas...he's not even close :D

Fab Melo for newcomer of the year in the Big East? ... not so much
Maybe given his start, Melo could be nicknamed The Fab Five!
