Louisville Loses big Melo to Syracuse

Highly ranked recruit Fabricio De Melo, aka "Fab Melo", has decided to play his collegiate basketball for Coach Jim Boeheim and the Syracuse Orange. Depending on which school site you read Melo was leaning toward Louisville and Syracuse. Most of the Cardinal fans had considered Melo to be a lock for them and the class of 2010. This is a considerable loss for Pitino and his Cardinals, especially to lose him to a conference foe.
