I have no updates but we can do a little review here.

Wasn't he the one dunking on everyone in practice?

Hughes has good size too so he could play the 2 (or 3) in our system depending on what jb thinks of his d.

I think it's safe to say he'll be ready to play. He looked very comfortable in his freshman year at Ecu especially against better competition.

[INDENT]From ecu website:
Scored double figures in nine games ... Led the Pirates in scoring twice with 19 points at home against USF and 18 versus Cincinnati ... Longest double digit scoring streak of the season was three games ... Averaged 16.0 points on 10-of-17 (.588) shooting from the field, 4-of-6 (.667) outside the 3-point arc and 8-of-10 (.800) in two games at The American Basketball Championship, scoring 17 against Temple and 15 versus SMU ... Posted season-highs for rebounds (6) and assists (4) on the road against UCONN ... Distributed four assists at Temple as well ... Made a trio of 3-pointers at home against USF and Cincinnati.[/INDENT]

From video, he has deep range, decent speed and looks strong. Listed at 215? Didn't see him handle much bc they had a very ball-dominant true point guard. But he wasn't afraid to take and make the big shot. He's an active defender, steal getter, and was the key to their press defense!

So I think his game is exactly what we look for. With a year learning the zone and getting stronger, I think he'll be a force from day one. No project here.
