Here's the portion that involves ASU:

In interviews, people like to hit on the hometown thing, because you've lived in Kansas, Southern Arizona, and now in the Phoenix Metro, and you have offers from Kansas, Arizona and Arizona State. Is there anything to that, or is it just a neat media storyline?

Kansas, everyone in my family loves them, and I love watching them as a team. I moved to Tucson when I was 6, and lived there for 12 years and became close with people there and became an Arizona basketball fan too. Then last year I moved up here, and now I see myself becoming more and more of an Arizona State basketball fan. Being able to represent your hometown, which in my case is three places, is going to make my decision even harder. But you have to give it some thought, because you are from there, even though it's three places, but you have great connections because of it.

Is anyone in your family wowed by the attention you're getting from a guy like Bobby Hurley at ASU, who was an NCAA legend from a little before your time?

Coach Hurley talks to my parents fairly often. When I went on my visit there, my dad was like "I remember watching him play on TV," so it's funny how that works.
