TEMPE, Ariz. -- When asked what conversations he has with teammates Romello White and Mickey Mitchell, Sun Devils forward Vitaliy Shibel didn't even wait for a reporter to finish his question.
"Do you talk much about…" the reporter began.
"Next year?" Shibel said, laughing. "A lot. All the time."
While Shibel, White and Mitchell practice, lift weights and watch film like the rest of the Sun Devils roster, they haven't tasted the fruits of their labor. Not yet, anyway.
Shibel, a 6-foot-9 freshman from the Ukraine, is still rehabbing a torn ACL earlier suffered last summer.
