“I talked to Frankie and he just told me he wants to be here,” said freshman forward Mitchell Smith, one of Hughes’ roommates. “That’s why he committed here. Frankie has a great attitude in practice, so I think he’s going to stay. … Frankie wants to be here with us and we want him here. I enjoy having him here so I’m glad he stayed.”
“I think Frankie has always been 100 percent with this team,” junior forward Jordan Barnett said. “He went through some personal problems and he talked with his family. We’ve talked to him. He’s definitely 100 percent with this team. I’m glad to have him back. Outstanding player, really good shooter. He’s really going to help this team offensively down the road.”
“At the end of the day, the guys who want to be here are going to be here,” sophomore guard Terrence Phillips said. “Willie’s still my friend. The guys in the locker room are the guys we’re going to roll with. We just have to keep going.”
“Of course we don’t want to lose any guys,” sophomore forward Kevin Puryear added. “When new guys come, that’s like your new family. Those are guys we go to battle with, so it’s upsetting to see them leave. At the same time everyone has to do what’s best for them. That’s all I really have to say about it.”
