ASU Basketball 2018/2019

Devils won their first game last night. They have some talented new players. Dort looks like the real deal.

Lots of games against ranked opponents in the next couple of weeks. Should be good.

Fullerton is no pushover team either. They should have to go to OT to beat them but they aren't some outmanned directional school.

I went to that game. Fun atmosphere until Sloppy McSlop showed up and made both teams play like they were blindfolded. Shooting was horrible. Hope this is something Bobby Hurley can work on. It's no more "Guard U;" more of a slashing offense. That guy Dort was pretty impressive.

And not enough Curtain Of Distraction!

Last year they lived AND died by means of guard u and the 3 point shot.

I’m not sad to see it go.

Am I the only one that’s sick of the naked kid that flexes during timeouts?

He might have been cute the first 50 times I saw him but at this point he needs a pimp.

To quote Berkeley boy Aaron Rodgers, "Relax."

It's a schtick. So what? So is the Curtain, so is the 942 Crew, so were the Frieder Fanatics back in the '90s. Let 'em have some fun.

That kid had his 15 minutes he needs to put on some clothes.

Devils are big and strong and physical and athletic.

They look like a Big East team.

Tremendous win last night against Miss. St! Gutty win and it was great to see Kimani get a career high with 22 pts!

It was a great win against a top 15 team

I'm really impressed that they held on instead of collapsing at the end when Miss St tied it with less than a minute left, especially that MSU was down big the whole game. Great finish!

Give Hurley big props. He’s made asu hoops relevant. Now if he could only start pulling better recruits.

And actually stay and see this through...

Luguents Dort is a pretty solid recruit. We just need more then one solid recruit to commit.

Yeah one “pretty solid” guy isn’t building a program.

It's a start. Let see what builds around the kid.

Still undefeated. This team can win even when the shots aren’t falling.

Which was the issue last year. That should be good for 3-4 more conference wins this year.

Exactly. This team isn’t going to get pushed around. They’ve got really good size and length.

This team is literally 180 degrees apart from the team last year... And I like it! [emoji106]

Compared to Sendek (when one sets aside Harden), I love Hurley's recruiting so far. Depending on which recruiting service one likes, Dort and Cherry were 4- or 5-star recruits. And Lawrence, Martin, Valtonen and Plavsic were quite highly rated. Agreed that ASU has a ways to go, and we need Hurley to stay a while, but we haven't seen this kind of quality depth for a long time.

I think Dort is really going to be special.

Luguentz Dort has caught the eye of NBA scouts. He is presently considered a first round pick.

Dort is the player I expected Rawle Alkins to be at Arizona. Alkins had both injuries, selfish teammates, and he himself fell in love with the 3 ball and that all held him back. So far Dort seems to have a better all around game I think he's a better ball handler than Rawle was and he's also in a situation where he's got a green light from Hurley.

I loved Alkins thought he underachieved at UA, right now I like Dort even better.
