One of the biggest challenges facing new Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham will be establishing the Sun Devils as a formidable in-state recruiting presence:
One coach I talked to said one of Dillingham’s first charges will be to get donors and alumni excited about the program’s direction so they pony up some money seemingly for NIL deals. That’s part of the recruiting landscape now that coaches need to either embrace or get run over by the Brinks truck.
The numbers are stark: In the last 10 recruiting classes only 18 of 165 players who made the state rankings picked the Sun Devils. That’s 11 percent. There were three entire classes in 2018, 2021 and 2022 where none of the top prospects went there., end up at ASU and he had a phenomenal career in Tempe before being a first-round NFL Draft pick.
“I’m very happy for coach Dillingham and everything he has already accomplished, and everything he’s going to accomplish at ASU,” said 2024 three-star defensive end“We both know the recruiting process isn’t as simple as it seems. Just looking forward to making the right decision for me and my family when the time comes.”
For far too many in Arizona, that decision was not the Sun Devils. Dillingham will look to change that quickly.
