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 am confident that there will be no regrets in this decision. I would like to thank Coach Matt, Thomas, and Armen for giving me this amazing opportunity. I’m excited to be there and meet all my teammates and coaches. This is a real dream come true, and let’s go win as many trophies as possible.”
 
Coach Thurmond on Laopakee
“He’s got the whole game and can succeed at any level. He’s a happy person and believes in himself a great deal. 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."
