The large young man on the cover of this month’s Maroon & Gold Illustrated is Corey Adams, who along with Vontaze Burfict highlighted a surprising recruiting class for ASU football. (We answered five questions about the class in February.)

Check out this month’s issue to learn more about all 22 players ASU signed in February. Here’s what else you’ll see when the issue hits your mailbox in the next few days:

• A look back at Herb Sendek’s quick turnaround of the ASU basketball program
• Feature stories on former ASU golfer Pat Perez, fresh off his first PGA Tour win, and footballer Kelvin Fisher, now serving as a scout for the Steelers
• A profile of women’s hoops sophomore Becca Tobin
• And much more

Let’s win one tonight against Washington. Happy reading!

More Sun Devil News, Less Hassle

Don’t fool around with bookmarks or the refresh button. We’ve made it easier to subscribe, so you can have Sun Devil news delivered FREE straight to your inbox.

With that, we’ll get right to the links. If you haven’t been reading Echo from the Buttes this week, here’s what you’ve missed:

• We recapped a tumultuous career for Jeff Pendergraph and wondered about his place in ASU history
• We looked back at 100 wins – but no Pac-10 titles, yet – for The Incredibles of ASU women’s basketball
• We watched highlights of football’s first Class of 2010 recruit and assessed the future of the position
• And we broke down basketball’s chances of finishing third in the conference after a tough loss to Stanford

That’s all for now. Get ye to Wells Fargo Arena on Saturday. And be careful playing tailgate beer pong. You know, oral herpes. Go Devils!

If you prefer that whole reading thing and you haven’t been visiting Echo from the Buttes this week, here’s what you missed:

• James Harden and the Sun Devils let an historic opportunity slip in Seattle
• Greg and Mark broke down the stretch run for both our hoops teams
• Jason Kipnis and Carlos Ramirez filled in just fine for Wally and Ike
• We wondered aloud if ASU had surpassed UA as the state’s top hoops program
• And we watched videos of Tucsonans traveling to Tempe and the combative Jim Calhoun

That’s all for now. Get ye to Packard Stadium this weekend. And be careful playing tailgate beer pong tournaments. You know, oral herpes. Go Devils!

So we’ll get right to the links. If you haven’t been reading Echo from the Buttes this week, here’s what you missed:

• We studied the act of desperation that brought Herb Sendek and Derek Glasser together
• We debated Pat Tillman’s Pro Football Hall of Fame credentials
• We wondered if Matt Lubick might be ASU’s next head football coach
• We admired – from a safe and legal distance – the growth on James Harden’s face
• And we answered five questions on the Sun Devils’ upcoming baseball season

That’s it for now, Sun Devils. We’ll see you at Wells Fargo Arena on Sunday—unless you think the national media was right!

Herb Sendek would insist we not dwell on the past but instead focus on future challenges. We’re not quite ready to look ahead though. So if you haven’t been reading Echo from the Buttes this week, here’s what you missed:

• Jeff Pendergraph was feeling mighty good after ASU swept UCLA
• The national media called the Sun Devils boring and called you a bad ASU fan
• We met ASU’s three newest footballers Kipeli Koniseti, Jarrid Bryant and Gerald Munns
• And we answered five questions on the Sun Devils’ upcoming baseball season

That’s all for now. The Sun Devils seek vengeance against the Boys of Troy late Sunday night. We’ll see you all at Wells Fargo Arena—unless you think the national media was right!

So welcome back, Mr. Munns. For everyone else, if you haven’t been reading, here’s what you may have missed:

• We broke down the football Class of 2009 with a quick Q&A
• We drooled over Vontaze Burfict and assessed the football scholarship situation
• Jeff Pendergraph called the men’s hoops team “weak-minded”
• And we ranked the top 15 Sun Devils in the NFL in 2008

We probably won’t be posting the rest of the weekend. So feel free to drop your thoughts on the Oregon State game in the comments below. We’ll be sure to check in and discuss!
