  • Melvin to Decide Soon

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Fresh off his visit to Rutgers this week, 6-8 forward Cleveland Melvin could be making a decision in the coming days.

    “He will sit down with his mom and family members and ponder a decision,” said Anthony Lewis, Melvin’s coach with the Cecil Kirk AAU program. “He’s gotta get it right.”

    Lewis said Melvin is still considering Rutgers, DePaul, Seton Hall and Marshall although Seton Hall is no longer actively recruiting him.

    Lewis said he wasn’t aware of that.

    Melvin, who initially committed to UConn, enjoyed the Rutgers visit, which he took along with fellow Baltimore native Antoine Myers,a  6-3 point guard.

    “I think the visit went well,” Lewis said.

    Asked when Melvin might decide, Lewis said, “I suspect over the weekend or the first of the week.”

    As for Myers, Lewis said he plans to visit UNC-Wilmington soon and is considering several schools.

    “He will take another visit or two and then pull his list together as well,” Lewis said.
