How ASU secured a commitment from five-star prospect Taeshon Cherry

The moment Danielle Cherry knew this might work?

Her son, five-star prospect Taeshon Cherry, was on his official visit and the Cherry family was in the Arizona State locker room visiting with coach Bobby Hurley after the loss.

The Cherrys didn’t really know Hurley; they just knew of him. His Duke background, of course, spoke for itself. They had heard about his fiery coaching style. They had talked briefly with him before the contest, but this was their first time seeing Hurley up close. And Danielle was stunned at the similarities.

Hurley was blaming himself for the loss just as she had heard Taeshon do several times.
