From the player’s perspective
“I came back because ASU feels like home to me. I believe in the people here and feel like we still have more to accomplish as a team. I’m excited to be back and represent the Sun Devils again.” - Bryce Ford



Comments from Coach Bennett
“Bryce has been awesome during the transition. He was one of the first individuals to recommit to our staff. One thing that stands out about him from watching his tape is his ability to shoot. He has an excellent stroke and possesses an awareness about what a good shot is for him. It is already pretty clear what a hard worker Bryce is and how much he wants to succeed. He will be a fantastic fit for the team dynamic we are trying to build.” - Randy Bennett

I am fully healthy and can’t wait to play in front of Sun Devil Nation!” - Vijay Wallace



Comments from Coach Bennett
“We are thrilled that Vijay decided to return. He was on track to have a great season last year before suffering an injury. You wouldn't know he had the injury the way he has been moving and working out. His versatility, feel for the game, and work ethic will make him successful. He is hungry to prove himself. Sun Devil fans will enjoy watching him play.” - Randy Bennett
