Now, for some other news.
San Francisco’s Zane Meeks visits Sun Devils
Last season, ASU suffered arguably its most embarrassing loss to San Francisco, traveling on the road right after getting ranked for the first time all year and getting blown out 97-60. Fast forward to today, 6-foot-9 forward Zane Meeks, who had nine points on 3-4 shooting from downtown off the bench for the Dons against the Sun Devils, reportedly visited ASU tonight.
6’9” Zane Meeks @MeeksZane , who averaged 11 points & 5 rebounds for San Francisco, is visiting Arizona State tonight, while Vanderbilt, Wichita St., New Mexico & Utah St. have been recruiting him. #ForksUp @CerebroSports https://t.co/jkJK9YfaIt pic.twitter.com/YK64Zoe3nD

Meeks started in half of San Francisco’s games. He is a versatile forward and averaged 10.9 points and 5.1 rebounds this season for the Dons.
Meeks transferred to San Francisco from Nevada before the 2021-22 season. In the 2020-21 season at Nevada, he played with the Sun Devil’s leading scorer last season, Desmond Cambridge Jr., and ASU’s starting center Warren Washington. Cambridge is out of eligibility and Washington currently has his name in the NBA Draft.
Meeks would fill a big need for the Sun Devils at the forward position. Him and Alonzo Gaffney would be the stretch forwards on next season’s team.
