• Total recruits - 3
• Jayden Quaintance

Arizona State coach Bobby Hurley aims for a positive start to their life in Big 12 basketball. After a subpar performance last season in the Pac-12, Hurley has recruited hard to build a solid roster for the new season.

Almost every player from the 2023-24 campaign departed the team, so Hurley had to assemble an entire roster from scratch. His recruiting masterclass has seen him pull three talented prospects, including top-10 recruit Jayden Quaintance.
