Coming into the 2017-18 campaign, the Arizona State Sun Devils (1-0, 0-0) had retooled their front court by adding promising freshmen Kimani Lawrence and Romello White and retaining big men from last year like sophomore Ramon Vila.
But during Friday’s season opener against Idaho State at Wells Fargo Arena, Arizona State would have none of them.
Sources within the program made it known that Vila had left the program just under an hour before tip, Lawrence was seen walking around in a boot on his left foot before the game and White remained in street clothes — again.
