Well, with a 16-15 regular season finally in the rearview mirror, it seems like the Arizona State Sun Devils are ready to move on from Bobby Hurley.
Just like with any other program, as a head coach heads out the door, people should expect players to do the same, and that could include quite a few of ASU's stars.

While most seniors, like team-leading scorer Mo Odom, are out of eligibility and will most likely have to move on from college basketball, there are at least three Sun Devils who could put their names in the transfer portal to head to "greener" pastures.
Anthony Johnson is no stranger to the transfer portal, coming to Arizona State via the portal after starting his collegiate career at the JUCO level.
This season, he has averaged 13.3 points per game for the third-highest scoring on the team, alongside 3.1 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.4 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game.
At 6-foot-3 and 175 pounds, he's a slightly undersized guard, but his numbers speak for themselves, and he could be a highly valued prospect in the portal this spring.
Similar to Johnson, forward Santiago Trouet joined ASU from the portal last year and quickly cemented himself as a start for Hurley's team. His two years at San Diego clearly paid off as he played well on both ends of the court this season for the Sun Devils.
While 7.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 0.9 assists per game may not be the most jaw-dropping stats, at 6-foot-11, who wouldn't want to add someone of Trouet's frame to their depth chart?
Massamba Diop has been one of the unsung stars of this season, and the reason he has fallen short of receiving a ton of national praise has been largely due to Hurley's struggle to find consistent wins.
However, after coming to Tempe as a three-star prospect from Senegal, Diop quickly found his footing in collegiate basketball and still has three years of eligibility remaining.
Diop averaged 13.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.2 blocks, 1.1 assists, and 0.7 steals per game this season, and standing over 7-feet tall, teams would have a similar argument to recruiting him out of the portal as they would for Trouet: who doesn't want a 7-foot-1 center on their roster?
