Melsahn, "We need to talk."

Remember that girl you really liked? One day she stopped showing interest. She had that "whatever" attitude. Whenever you were together, her mind was somewhere else.
Mel, is there something you want to say to us?

I'm implying Mel is not interested in playing for Iowa.

So you're saying he's interested in another program? Maybe a richer, better looking program?

Maybe, maybe.......or perhaps a program that is more well endowed.

fwiw I drive past CHA on my way to work in the morning and I have on several occasions seen Melsahn leaving CHA looking pretty glum. He's the only player I've seen doing this. Make what you will of that.

Mel owes no one on this board an explanation about anything.

For some reason Fran is afraid to bench him to start the game. He would not be starting on most teams with his lackluster effort. I think its a thing that he is not the center of the Hawkeye BB world right now and he is being showed up by McCabe and White in a big way. There is no way I would start him the next game and maybe not even play him. You have to figuratively slap him in the face to get his attention. He is totally lost right now.

You said it I didn't. But if he can't get his act together and produce on the court it might be best all around if he did look elsewhere.

I'd be upset if I never got to touch the ball. No one on the team looks to feed the post. Idk how you can expect Mel to average 13 and 8 soley off of o-boards. That's not the whole problem, but I am willing to bet it is a big part of it.

What does Mel do once he gets the ball in the post that would warrant looking for him?

Limited face-up game, limited back to the basket game, not a good passer out of the post. He didnt have much of a problem getting the offensive rebounds and garbage points last year. He is hardly even trying this year.

He could also get more points by getting out and running the break but he is either usually on the bench because of foul trouble or on the bench because he isnt trying.
