Baltimore native backs off verbal commitment with the Huskies
by JEFF BORZELLO
6-foot-7 forward Cleveland Melvin and Connecticut have parted ways, Notre Dame Prep head coach Ryan Hurd confirmed to the NBE Basketball Report.
“[It was a] mutual decision,” Hurd said Thursday night. “[He] wants to be a wing. UConn wanted him to play the four. No hard feelings either way.”
Melvin announced his commitment to the Huskies back in November, choosing them over DePaul, Memphis, Seton Hall and South Florida.
The athletic senior currently does not have a new list of schools.
“[It] just happened,” Hurd said. “Maybe in the next day or so.”
The story was first reported by Jeff Goodman of FOXSports.com.
