Just announced this afternoon – Fabricio De Melo is coming to Syracuse!  For those of you who don’t know anything about Fab Melo, he’s the #2 center prospect coming out of high school into the 2010 season.

He’s 7′2″, 270 lbs, 5-star Scouts.com prospect and oh yeah, has an outside shot. Big props to Boeheim but especially to head-coach-in-waiting Mike Hopkins, who was reportedly key in wooing Fab Melo to the Cuse.

Sorry to the rest of the Big East – Syracuse already had the 5th best recruiting class for 2010 without Fab Melo. With him? Arguably one of, if not THE, best in the nation.
