Fire away with any important updates you come across, obviously including but not necessarily limited to ones that involve ASU.

Starting off with a couple former Sun Devils who are back on the transfer market:

Fresh off a historic Big 12 championship, head coach Kenny Dillingham and his staff did not have much time to relish in that achievement as they quickly rolled back their sleeves, seeking additions from the transfer portal. Let's go ahead and take a look at what the needs are position by position, the effect of the player departures to date, and examine the overall approach to the transfer portal and what we can expect in terms of the strategy the Sun Devils will employ.

Let's keep everything in one thread here

That would be AU football coach Brent Brennan according to virtually all of the sentiment anyone can see or feel down here in So Arizona...

Not only has he now lost just about every key player on the roster but fans opinion pieces are being published in the Daily Star and not as letters to the editor, either...

A long time season ticket holder had an opinion piece in today's newspaper asking this question "How do we make Wildcat football matter?"

This is one of the things that he points out in the article "I find myself longing jealously for the environment Kenny Dillingham has created at the School Up North."

His main point is that you have to get the right coach in place since a coach gets paid big bucks no matter if they win or not and have buy-outs in the millions of dollars that protect them from maybe losing a job, even when it becomes clear that they aren't up to the immediate task at hand like building a winning program...

This fan had a positive feeling with Jedd Fisch even when he only won one game his first year on the job because he was building a winning culture just like Dilly is doing at ASU now based on his above noted statement...

He feels that the prior administration at AU acted hastily when they hired Brennan and hopes that the new administration will get it right in the future....

I've never seen anything like this down here before which makes me more thankful than ever to have both our administration and coaching staff led by Dilly finally doing things right up in Tempe...

Chum is in the Big-12 water and the sharks are circling Brennan that make him a "dead man" treading water after only one year...

Anybody here got a spare life preserver to throw him..??

I didn't think so...Go Devils!!!

Some tidbits to pass along

This per USA Today college sports articles written by Shayne Kubas yesterday and today...(he started from worst to first)

Best Offenses 1) Oregon..2) Ohio St..3) Notre Dame..4) Penn St..5) Tenn..6) Indiana..7) Boise St..8) Texas..9) SMU..10) Clemson..11) Georgia...12) ASU

Best Defenses 1) Ohio St..2) Texas..3) Penn St..4) Tenn..5) Notre Dame..6) Georgia..7) Indiana..8) Oregon..9) SMU..10) Clemson..11) ASU..12) Boise St

Why Devils are ranked so low in both categories...high-end talent or lack thereof at most positions...that said, we are still a "force to be reckoned with" especially on offense...

Well we were picked last in the Big-12 and look at what happened...

Overall, I like where both Clemson and Texas are rated...

I'm just pleased that our first game is not at Ohio St, Penn St or Notre Dame...

Fingers crossed that we can prove everybody outside of our Sun Devil orbit wrong...

Go Devils!!!

all very predictable

unfortunately 3 are very negatively impactful for 2025 (Welch/Wilson/Douglas) but barring injury, none of the 3 was expected to start...................although Welch may have if Shemari does not return and if Abney was moved to Nickel to replace Shemari

there are still easily 8-10 more that would not impact anything more than deep depth

and the BEST NEWS OF ALL-----all THREE scholi place kickers are still in the house !!!!

BREAKING: ASU ranked No. 4 in the College Football Playoff bracket, getting a first-round bye, and is destined to play in Atlanta in the Peach Bowl on Jan. 1, 2025. Undeserving ranking to say the least after the 45-19 win over Iowa State in the Big 12 Championship game.

I heard it came back at $3,200+ per person. Is that correct?

Wow. Just wow.

Happy Signing Day Huddle!

Yes, in the midst of getting ready for the Big 12 Championship Game, ASU will welcome its newest additions from the high school ranks.

Over the next several hours, the National Letters of Intent signed by the high school prospects who are committed to ASU will start tricking in. Ts thread will be your one-stop shop to track it all.

That list, in no particular order, of the ASU commits expected to sign today is as follows:

This is like '80s ASU. Probably not the brand of today but it's what a lot of people think it is.
