Virginia Tech transfer Ben Emelogu has committed to SMU, he told CBSSports.com on Monday morning.
The 6-5 guard averaged 10.5 points last season for the Hokies and will have three years of eligibility remaining.
Emelogu must sit out next season and will be eligible beginning in the 2015-16 season.

Ha! He decided to play for Larry Brown over the great Buzz Williams-the first choice for SMU job. Nice

Best coaching "miss" in history.
This is a very nice addition for next year.

From the Washington Post... "Emelogu was seen as an essential building block last season and former Coach James Johnson named him team captain as a freshman. The 6-foot-5 shooting guard appeared in 22 games and started 12 times, averaging 10.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.9 assists." http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/co ... story.html

Rivals shows that he had offers from TCU, Marquette and Washington. My guess is LB talked to him but didn't offer because Emelogu was strong with VT.
