Silas Melson stock rising

I purchased a 2-year subscription to ESPN this last Wednesday and as such have been granted insider access. ESPN re-did its 2014 Top 100 rankings within the last week as many you have learned, with GU-target Reid Travis becoming a 5-star prospect, GU-committed Josh Perkins dropping to #38, GU-target Malik Pope to #52 (kind of extraordinary considering he hasn't played basketball in like 7-8 months), and GU-target Dorian Pickens at #81, etc.

Well, I recently read the insider "Who Just Missed Making ESPN 100" and Silas Melson was the third name listed, with this blurb:

Melson is an attacking guard who is tough, competitive and explosive. He can hit the open triple and can get to the rim, where he is an excellent finisher for his size. He is a good rebounder for a guard and can defend both guard positions with great energy and urgency.
