Mizzou nabs commitment from former Louisville recruit Frankie Hughes

Frankie Hughes committed to Louisville in October and signed with Rick Pitino’s Cardinals in November.

He had a change of heart during the next four months and was released from his national letter of intent March 22.

Now, Hughes, a 6-foot-3 shooting guard from Garfield Heights in Cleveland, will be a Missouri Tiger.

Hughes — who was a high school teammate of Mizzou signee, Willie Jackson — committed Sunday during an official visit to Columbia.

Hughes is a consensus three-star prospect is ranked as the No. 215 player in the 2016 class by 247 Sports, which also pegs him as the No. 40 shooting guard in the nation.

Aside from Louisville, Hughes also had interest from Wisconsin
