Melvin Johnson

[chapman]

Correction:  Mel is from St Benedict's. Bob Hurley Sr. is at St Anthony's

We did have a St Benedict's alumnus though - Dwight Burke.

As far as Johnson, absolutely we should want him.  Who are we confident returns in the backcourt next year?  Derrick Wilson, Blue, and Ferguson.  We can't rely on just them for success.  Duane Wilson will be a freshman, and after that we're hoping for Nunn to commit.  Count me in for wanting a little more insurance...if Nunn doesn't commit and we get a freshman who just isn't ready to contribute right away, if there are injuries, if there's a transfer.  A top 100 guard who can come to campus in a few weeks and join in, let's hope he's interested.

Wait - I thought Buzz ran off TJ so that he could bring in Melvin.

Any other unhappy prospects there?

I don't think Reggie Smith found a home for this semester yet.

So he's just going to sit at home watching old movies on video tape?

Committing to VCR is definitely old school and a very rare thing to see from a kid nowadays since kids generally prefer DVR.  Fortunately VCU still has a supply of video tape as this is now becoming in shorter and shorter supply.

He must be traditional.

I really believe it's because the top 50 is beyond them. As crazy as that is, they don't need to lock past the top 30 or so players in the country, unless they have a serious need. It's incredible, but true.

My thoughts exactly. Nunn may be waiting for an offer that may never come.

I didn't read that. Who were they? I'm just guessing. Links?

Another MU forum.

Johnson committed to VCU (Shaka Smart) last night.
