LAOPAKDEE ON BEING A SUN DEVIL
"I am extremely excited to be part of the Sun Devil Family! I've known since the beginning that this is the place where I could learn to be a better player and overall person. ASU has one of the best programs in the world and I know that there will be no regret in this decision. I would like to thank Coach Matt, Thomas, and Armen for giving me this amazing opportunity. I can't wait to be there and meet all of my teammates and coaches. This is a real dream come true and let's go win as many trophies as possible. #ForksUp!!!"
COACH THURMOND ON LAOPAKDEE
"Fifa has always been awesome, but this past year since he committed he has really taken off. He's got the whole game and can succeed at any level. He's a happy person and he believes in himself a lot. I first saw him randomly at an event in the Czech Republic in 2019 and was impressed. I'm so glad he's made his way to ASU."
