Please let it happen. I want point guard Austin Nunez back. He has talent.

Hurley is bringing in a very solid group of players next year, as is Dillingham. ASU must be finally getting it together with the NIL.

Of course, things being what they are in college sports, we'll see if everyone recruited actually ends up playing here for any amount of time.

Whatever Bobby Hurley is doing, it seems to be working. Maybe more NIL money is coming into the program.

Not to diminish his recent recruiting wins but has recruiting really been his problem? Seems to me he has been a good to very good recruiter but can’t seem to coach them to wins.

That is a very clever and interesting angle for Hurley and ASU to take. It's not like the facilities or history of the program will draw top recruits. But, being famous in a Netflix series ....

Looking at Rivals the Center who committed was projected to go to Kentucky. Capilari leaving for Arkansas maybe gave Hurley the opening. Still, I am really surprised we got a 5-star player. There is like a 2% chance he plays here for 4 years, but that is how it is nowadays.

We have much better hockey facilities than we do for baseball or basketball.
That’s what happens when you have a major benefactor who steps in to boost up a single team like Mullet did. What’s missed is he did more than build an arena, he has also fully funded the hockey program. Note, under current rules NIL is still an issue but when everything else is funded and top notch it makes things easier.

Arizona State commit, center Jaden Smith, will reopen his recruitment.

Great news. Austin Nunez is returning to ASU.

Meh. He isn't that good. Maybe he has improved but I was never impressed by him.

JQ has pretty good ball handling skills for a big guy, only 6 9, but has a 7 3 wingspan. Let's hope he sticks around long enough to develop, he is pretty young obviously.

So highly rated. Hopefully he has a more memorable ASU career than Josh Christopher did.
