From the Rumor Melo Mill...

[mantonio]

From a supposed reliable source:

Fab Melo was kept out of the Tourney for violating his restraining order.

 

[MattyL]

Heard the same exact thing from a reliable source.

 

[priestp]

I had heard the same thing last week from a "mediocre" source. In fear of being blasted on here I kept it too myself.

 

[BRNCUSEFRVCUSE]

If this is true, my god

This girl better be Kate Upton

 

[LoveShack]

heard same "rumor" last week from my daughter who know someone who knows the x-gf.

Ferris?

One of my college roommates parents is friends with the mother of the girl that was her turn signal that got snapped...She is a Le Moyne girl.

 

[bevosu]

If true...Nothing like blowing away a possible national championship with something as dopey as that.

Youth has it's blessings, but also it's demons.

 

[goodroc]

If true it could have been as minor as sending a text or email.

 

[BRNCUSEFRVCUSE]

If true

Will this ever get it out to the media ?

 

[orangefan13]

If true maybe he put a apology before basketball as well.
We don't know the details.

Maybe he broke the restraining order after his grades to apologize then bolted.

If JB himself said he didn't let the team down then I imagine Fab was trying hard with a team attitude most of the year.

I was at a fundraiser last night for my kid's school. Considering I live in Alexandria, VA, I was amazed at the number of people who found me watching the game on an iPad that either went to SU or are from CNY / WNY that are huge SU fans.

I also was told about five completely different reasons as to why Fab was out. End of the day, whatever it was prolly cost us a trip to the Final Four.

 

[JackBauer44]

How great would a book about SU Basketball be in like 10-15 years that discussed everything that went down with the teams over the course of the JB's tenure. My mind can't help but wonder about all the potential titles of what a great book that would make

 

[matcuse]

i was told he got caught cheating on one of his papers he turned in...apperently he turned in a paper that was exactly identical to another students...lol...you cant make this $hhit up

 

[jncuse]

A reliable source told me he was undercover operative from the NCAA.

First off if true, good for SU! He should be kicked off campus

Second: Fab melo is a bigger dumb ass than I thought.

So many stories I'd want to find out about. Deshaun Williams' situation being #1 on my list. Louie McCroskey, Josh Wright, and Mookie's situation this year too...

 

[EastCoast2]

So we have the following stories from "reliable sources, someone in the know, someone close to SU athletics, someone, in Fab's class, someone at Chuck's, and connected sources with the SPD"

1) Fab got deported
2) Fab got caught cheating on a term paper
3) Fab violated his restraining order
4) Fab failed a drug test
5) Fab failed out of school
6) Fab skipped fencing class

 

[swish7]

Heard the same exact thing from a reliable source.

I read the same thing on the internet about 46 minutes ago.

 

[OttosBestFriend]

Every time I hear/read people speculating about something, I harken back to the ghost story scene in "Meatballs", when after Tripper (Bill Murray) scares the crap outta the CITs, they all mention they heard similar stories until:

Spaz: "I heard it, but the guy was missing a foot."
Fink: "How could the guy have a hook on his foot?"

Still cracks me up, 30 years later.

 

[cuseincincy]

I read on the bathroom wall of a bar here in Cincinnati that the NCAA found out that Fab actually did commit to Louisville and he will be playing for the Cards in New Orleans next week.

 

[CuseIsInTheHouse]

If he violated a restraining order, why wouldn't he have been arrested? There's no way the cops would say "Oh, we won't arrest you. You just can't play in the NCAA tournament." If the University found out Fab made contact with the girl and tried to discipline him themselves, that would just be crazy! Can they discipline him for something without telling the Syracuse City PD? I would imagine this opens the University up to a serious liability issue should something happen between Fab and his ex in the future.

Speaking of Louie McCroskey, I looked him up on facebook just to see if I could find out where he was playing or what he was doing these days. (No I didn't friend him nor am I "friends" with any of our current student- athletes But based on some of his posts, he has really grown up and matured quite a bit. Seems like a really great guy. He is playing in Canada btw.

I'm friends with all of our guys, including McCroskey. Hell I even have Dion following me on twitter. I agree though. It seems like Louie is doing well. Was it true or just a rumor that he attacked JB?

That I do not know. I think I know the answer but you would have to ask someone closer to the program to confirm. And I live in Kansas so that would be pretty much anyone but me (as far as being closer to the program)
