Has it been weird for you or other guys over the years to see yourselves dissected and discussed so much here or on other sites? How much attention do you really pay to that?
I think its great people can come on this site and discuss and give their opinion on the team and players but our coaches and people around us often tell us to stay away from social networks and forums. I never really looked at what was said about me but i think its great people have a place to do it.

The Tarheel's expression pretty much sums it up, doesn't it?

All you gotta know is that I got your back:

Melvin's jersey deserves to be in the rafters. He is setting the bar VERY high for what a student-athlete should be.

In all seriousness Mel, are you looking at playing for Nigeria, next year at Rio Olympics?

I know a couple have asked, but when you hang up the shoes would you consider coaching? We missed your leadership last year. I think you would be a natural!
As I think about it more, and others continue to tell me how good of a job I would be able to do because of some of the skills and intangibles I have it could end up being a career path I decide to take. But that is definitely a few years away got a lot of playing left in me.

What was the biggest difference going from the college game to the Euro game? Anything you wish you would have worked on more before going over there or advice you'd give to guys playing overseas for the first time?

I loved watching you play basketball for ISU. I hope you enjoy your time here - and don't be offended by some of the stupid comments that are made here from time or time (or daily...).

Thank you for choosing the Cyclones!
