Melvin freaking Ejim

[cyatheart]

Great performance today. 22 and 16, played like a crazed man, great effort. Free throws, rebounds, keeping balls alive, three pointers. leads the league in scoring and top 5 in rebounding. Love this guy, would actually like to see him get the ball more. I really think he puts us on his back down the stretch and makes some great things happen for this team. Great player, great cyclone.

Lot of good performances today by Georges and matt, but man I love how Melvin plays.

Consistently playing inside against taller players will do that to you

Ejim's Senior Day is going to be a sad, sad day.

im talking about missing uncontested layups. or being stuffed by the rim. he hasn't had that happen to often this year maybe two or three times

I think it's good to keep a certain amount of frustration level with the conferences leading scorer and one of the most productive players in ISU history.

Yep, plus few guys have perfect games.

To be fair, Ejim hasn't done anything for us in a couple of hours now.

Well, you can be sad if you want, I guess. I'm gonna be happy after watching Ejim go for 25 points and 20 rebounds with highlight reel alley-oops sprinkled in on the way to an Oklahoma State *** whoopin.

Having one of the best statistical seasons ever.

It'll end happy, no doubt about that!

Going to miss him big time. Will go down as one of my favorites.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. I expect perfection from amateur athletes.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. I expect perfection from amateur athletes.

He only gave 112% today. I expect at least 120%.

 

[State43]

Ejim will be missed. One of the best representatives in ISU history on and off the court

 

[cyatheart]

Everybody misses a few, he's battling down there every game against bigger guys getting hammered constantly

I'm pretty new to the party here in cyclone land, but I've got to think that he's getting close to the proverbial "Mount Rushmore" in ISU's hoop history isn't he? Especially if our Rushmore had 5 heads?

Ejim?
Is that horribly out of line? I'm talking players only here. Just my opinion, but I love the effort he has consistently played with for 4 years, creating his ability to rebound against bigger players. From his freshman year, when his game was I think similar to Hogue's, to now, he's become a very skilled offensive player through that same work ethic. Please set me straight here if I'm way off, but I think he's getting close.

One of the best Cyclones of all time. I would say Mcdoormat's best recruit but glad only Fred was able to coach him.

When you look at the total situation and how he has excelled right along with the team, and with his character, he has to be in the conversation for that.

No way Tinsley is in there IMO. He was great for us, but only for 2 years.
