Sun Devil men's basketball coach Bobby Hurley is adding a point guard and a some size with his 2021 fall signing class, as lefty Austin Nunez out of Texas will continue the solid guard play in the 1992 Final Four Most Outstanding Player tenure, while 6-10 Duke Brennan from nearby Hillcrest Prep will bring size and strength down low.
"I am very pleased we were able to sign Austin and Duke," noted the seventh-year Sun Devil head coach. "They both can contribute right away and can really grown in the program." "Austin has a tremendous upside. He's a lefty, he could shoot it, he can create, and he fits the mold of what I look for with our guards. He's very highly thought of in Texas, got a great family and a very athletic family. He loves the game, so I just have high hopes for him and what he'll bring here to Arizona State."

Hillcrest Prep's Duke Brennan is a 6-10 will give ASU some size and strength from the moment he gets on campus.
"Duke is a hard-hat, lunch pail, type guy," says Coach Hurley. "He really will battle and rebound and defend. He plays hard, he plays with an edge. Getting those two guys signed in the program, it was a good day for the Sun Devils."

One of the best guards in the Class of 2022 puts the pen to paper today. @theaustinunez will play for Bobby Hurley and @SunDevilHoops. The four-star held offers from dozens of high-major programs. Excited now to watch Austin's senior year at Wagner! pic.twitter.com/ymlQvQzm90
