Bishop Gorman Class of 2023 three-star athlete Jeremiah Hughes camped at Arkansas on Friday. Hughes, 6-0, 165, got to see Arkansas and attend the camp on Friday. Following the camp, Hughes talked about his impressions of Arkansas. “I love the facility,” Hughes said. “It looks great. I like it out here. I like the weather – it felt way better than Vegas, for sure. I love it.” What were your impressions of the camp? “I think it was a great camp,” Hughes said. “I like how all the coaches were so into it. I like all the coaching staff. It was organized. It went well.” As an athlete, Hughes got to know both Kenny Guiton (wide receivers) and Sam Carter (cornerbacks). “I like both of them,” Hughes said. “They’re great dudes. I like the way their coaching style is. They’re really into it and like talking to us, correcting what we got and don’t got, our mistakes and all that.” Hughes currently holds offers from such schools as Arizona, Arizona State, UNLV, Pittsburgh, West Virginia, North Texas and Alabama A&M. Do you think Arkansas may extend one? -

Despite the obvious fiscal and political obstacles, he appeared supremely confident — even unflappable. He was so excited to lead UNLV through its economic storm and into its bright future, he couldn’t wait to get started. That was back in August 2009. Barely four years later, Smatresk just closed the deal on the president’s job at the University of North Texas, Denton. Las Vegas townies are still tuning up their trombones, but our music man is moving on. Read more: http://www.reviewjournal.com/columns-blogs/john-l-smith/unlvs-music-man-moves
