"MELBOURNE has officially signed talented basketballer Corey Maynard to a one year contract as a Category B rookie.

The 24-year-old has been recruited via the three-year-non-registered rule which allows a player straight onto a list if he has not been registered in an Australian Football competition for three years.

Maynard, who is 191cm, played four years of College basketball in the United States at the division 1 level with Bryant University in Rhode Island."

Size wise he's the same as Pendles. Don't know anything about what he was like as a footballer before he committed to basketball but at guard height you'd reckon he'd have good mobility and agility.

Apparently we've got an Irish kid named O'Neill doing a 3 week trial with us so it may be that we didn't have a spot, does anyone know anything about O'Neill? Anybody getting along to training that's seen him?
