Pledges continue to pour in this week for the Southern Methodist University’s football program. June Jones picked up his sixth commitment for the 2009 class Thursday afternoon when the Lone Star state’s No. 1 rated center by Scout.com.

Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2008 5:06 pmStallion, I like the move to OT. He has length and speed; his frame should easily facilitate another 20-30# of muscle after working with Viloria for a year.
Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2008 5:37 pmHere's another quote from the Scout article that I really like.
Hughes was also impressed with his coach in charge of recruiting him.
"Coach Reinebold did a great job," Hughes said. "He is a great guy, very easy to talk to. He made me feel very much at home at SMU."

I agree with that.

Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2008 8:00 pmWelcome to S.M.U. Ben, we are glad you made the right choice.
Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2008 9:36 pmWhat other schools had offered Ben?
Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2008 9:53 pmOffers SMU, Rice, Syracuse, Southern Miss, UCF and Houston. Based on recent stories from Scout and Rivals. I wonder why Baylor hasn't offered? His Dad played for Baylor. Alan Zepeda at Scout pointed out his Dad is over 6-6 and so Hughes is likely to get much bigger. It might be hard for some our midget QBs to see over Hughes at 6-5 if he plays Center. Its also pretty difficult for a Center to get leverage on those smaller DTs at 6-5.
