Where is Joe now? If he had his head on straight, he could have been a difference maker.

One of the guys I'd focused a lot on in "Meat Market" was a prized defensive tackle recruit from Lutcher, La., named Rolando Melancon. Even though he had battled injuries over his prep career, Melancon was a guy whom the Ole Miss staff loved. He was just so explosive coming off the snap. The Rebels' staff watched a ton of film on him and IDed him as their top D-line recruit for that year but ultimately Melancon signed with Tennessee. Ironically enough, former Ole Miss coach Ed Orgeron is now working with the Vols' D-line, but Melancon isn't there. Melancon couldn't get eligible and Tennessee ended up sending him out west to a junior college, but Melancon wasn't comfortable there so he came home to Louisiana. Last fall Melancon was at La. Tech, where he wasn't eligible to play but could practice. A coach I spoke with at Tech said he was dominant at times and flashed the potential to be a first-rounder some day. However, Melancon had some struggles off the field and was dismissed by Tech last month.
I hadn't talked to Melancon in a long time but visited with him Sunday via Facebook of all things. He says he's taking some correspondence classes part-time and then will be heading to Texas Southern in the summer. He said he thought about going the juco route but didn't want to get lost in the shuffle so he is headed to Texas Southern.
After speaking with Melancon, I looked at Texas Southern's Web site and did a double take. The team is bringing in a bunch of former high-profile recruits, including former LSU players, OL Ernest McCoy and WR Ricky Dixon. Chip Gregory, a former Arkansas LB, is listed as a 6-4, 225-pound WR recruit for TSU. Former Iowa QB Arvell Nelson is another guy who had a lot of impressive offers out of high school.
Texas Southern was also the school where former Oklahoma State QB Bobby Reid ended up in 2008.
For being a bone-head off the field. It's not something you see every day. This was a special case of hard-headed behavior.Quote:

I hear you fishing. I guess sometimes if you want something badly enough, you just have to put it all out, shoot as straight as possible and see if you can hit your target.
How would you like to be that TSU coach and be responsible for that bunch?:bigcry: His idea of recruiting is calling the big schools and telling them to let him know when they kick one off the team.Quote:

So was Joe caught playing with his own tool?
