In a surprising moment, Kiyon Grayes, according to an individual close to his recruitment, did commit to Cal during his visit today. He gave out a vibe that he was going to visit UCLA on Monday, no matter and definitely had a good time on the ASU campus a couple of days ago.

6-5 195 Penn State WR transfer Malik McClain, who played for Dillingham at Florida State, is scheduled to visit early in the week. Had six receptions for 71 yards and played in 13 games last year. Four-star prospect out of IMG Academy

Texas A&M WR transfer Raymond Cottrell could visit Wednesday, and if things fell through with Mclain, he likely would get the full-court press by ASU in order to land here.

A sweep versus Stanford marked the first time in ASU's history it scored double-digit runs in each game of a series at the Farm. Sun Devils now surpass its conference win total from a season ago with 17 wins, winning four-straight weekend series

Said here a while ago that not only are we gonna see a number of defensive linemen leaving, but that someone such as Benjamin was a higher probability than others.

Today's Topic = Will we be watching more PAC type re-runs in Big 12 ?

Especially in our Big 3 sports at ASU..??

This will be Dilly's second year, following his first year, that was another disaster for us Sun Devil fans...

Nobody likes 3-9 seasons no matter the reasons for them...

Just like we don't like to have losing seasons in basketball, either...

Or not making the postseason in baseball, either...

Those make for a lot of sad Sun Devil faces, don't they..??

At least it looks like our baseball team might avoid a losing season this year, thanks to some late season success, but it won't be enough to play in the post-season, apparently, unless ASU wins the upcoming PAC tournament...

Meanwhile, down here in So Arizona the Cats are still first in the PAC baseball standings and will be favored to compete for both a football and basketball championship in the Big 12...

There is something very wrong with that picture from my point of view as a die-hard Sun Devil fan...

And, I sure as heck don't want to be watching more mediocre re-runs in football, basketball and baseball again this next year in the Big-12, but what will change that dynamic, if anything, in our future..??

Dilly has upgraded our football roster everywhere but the all important QB position, it looks like to me...

While Colorado has Shadeur Sanders returning at QB and the Utes have Cam Rising returning at their QB and the Cats have Noah Fifita returning as their QB...

And, Kansas has their QB returning, as does a couple of other Big 12 teams...

So, maybe a betting over-under of 4.5 isn't too far off the mark, if you ask me...

Then you have Bobby's basketball team that has put together a highly rated new roster that will be televised as a soap opera this next season by some streaming service, I guess...

And, in baseball, Willie went with a bunch of freshmen pitchers this year in the hopes of not having to rely on the transfer portal to upgrade his bullpen in the coming years...

Last year, I thought, with 8 home games, our football team, with a new coach, who was considered an offensive genius, could win more than enough games to become bowl eligible that turned out to be a pipe dream for all sorts of unforeseen reasons at the time...

In basketball, I didn't have high expectations but I didn't think we would stink up the place the way we did in Bobby's ninth year at ASU...

And, in baseball, it looks like we might end up about where the preseason pundits put us, which was somewhere in the middle of the PAC...

So, the big question for me and you today is whether we will be watching more lousy re-runs in our Big 3 sports in a new conference or not..??

And, If not, why..??

Do we have enough talent on our football roster to become bowl eligible if we find a QB that can be above average moving forward..??

And, what is going to change with our basketball program to make it an above average, March Madness qualified team this next season since Bobby is still our coach..??

And, finally, will Willie's pitching strategy help us get to become a much better baseball team next year, one that makes the post-season..??

Fingers crossed that our Sun Devils can sweep the Cardinal today which would make for a winning season this year that looked like a long shot not too long ago...

So, once again, are we going to be watching a lot of very boring re-runs in our Big 3 sports moving forward in the Big 12..??

I sure hope not...

Happy Mother's Day to all those wonderful Sun Devil mothers out there...

G'day Mates and Go Devils!!!

Devils leading 9-6, bottom of 6th. SS Ondina has 2 dingers, think he is up to 5 for the season and hitting .292, so heck of a yr for him........Compton has a HR and 2 RBI, Karstetter a HR, and McClain 2 doubles..... VU has no HR's so far but 2 walks, pitching the hottest hitter in Pac carefully

Furd had bases loaded, 2 outs, but Scaefer got a GB out to close out 6th

Just a curiosity.....am I missing posts, or have there been zero comments about the new QB from Nebraska? Maybe that news has been lost in all the other GREAT recruiting news recently???

A little frustrated I am not getting notifications right now for baseball.
I think the app updated because it was giving me notifications before.
Then one day a few weeks ago I had to go into the app and start all
over setting up my information. Now I can't get any notifications even
though the settings are correct. Anyone else having issues with the
app?

With two spots to fill it does appear that the Sun Devils are gonna try and fill one of them with - USC forward Brandon Gardner a Top-100 prospect out of high school who redshirted his freshman year at USC last season so he has four years of eligibility. Hearing that ASU is stilling in a good position here

Some are obviously more familiar than others to ASU fans

Coming out of spring practice, does Arizona look like a team that can duplicate a double-digit win season with a new head coach in his first stint in a power conference? Insider Troy Hutchison shares his observations

“We had 11 hits and baserunners with chances to score. That came back to bite us, and we didn’t swing the bats well enough.” A three-run third inning by Arizona proved to be the difference in a 5-3 win over ASU

ANALYSIS: Coming out of spring practice, the ASU defense may have fewer issues to address, but the Sun Devil offense certainly carries the potential for an explosive unit. Here’s our position breakdown
