ASU made push to the wire on Byron Murphy

Byron Murphy talks to Richard Obert after signing letter of intent

The drive to steal Byron Murphy away from Washington was intense and, at times, nonstop in the days leading up to National Signing Day.

Arizona State was the big one that made a big push, even throwing out basketball as a nugget to try to entice him to stay home.
