Two exciting guards are on the way to Tempe.

Coach Bobby Hurley and his staff have signed Jaelen House and Alonzo Verge in the November of 2018 signing period.

"We have added two dynamic guards that Sun Devil fans will love to watch," notes Coach Hurley, who led ASU to a 12-0 non-conference mark last year as ASU matched its best ranking in school history at No. 3. "The Valley will enjoy the creative playmaking ability of both Jaelen and Alonzo."
 

Welcome to the Family, Jaelen House! ??

Jaelen- listed at 6-foot-2 and 160 pounds - has spent his high school career at Shadow Mountain in Phoenix where he is the third ranked basketball recruit in Arizona according to 247 Sports. Hurley and ASU went after House quickly, gaining a commitment from the four-star 2019 guard on Dec. 22, 2017.
 
House is the son of Sun Devil great Eddie House, whose jersey hangs in the rafters at Wells Fargo Arena. A 2008 NBA champion with the Boston Cetlics, Eddie is ASU's all-time leading scorer and was the 1999-2000 Pac-10 Player of the Year.
