Fabricio Paulino de Melo (known to most as Fab Melo) was born in Brazil, and unless you're reading this through the lens of the 'we take the stairs' twitter profile, you probably wish he stayed there. Melo was recruited by Syracuse out of Brazil and when the 7-footer committed, a great deal of hype surrounded him.
Melo came to Syracuse after its loss to Butler in the 2010 Sweet 16. Syracuse had lost Andy Rautins, Wes Johnson and Arinze Onuaku from the previous season and Melo was expected to take over for Onuaku at the center position.
