Arizona State freshman guard Joson Sanon plans to enter the transfer portal, according to ESPN’s Jeff Borzello.
Sanon averaged 11.9 points (on 42.2% shooting), 3.4 rebounds and an assist in 28.3 minutes per game over 27 games for Arizona State in 2024-25.
The former four-star prospect had signed with the Sun Devils after flipping his commitment from Arizona.
The 6-foot-5 guard was a top-25 recruit in the 2025 class from Vermont Academy and held offers from UConn, Kentucky and Kansas, among other blueblood programs. He later reclassified to the 2024 class to make him eligible for the 2025 NBA Draft.
Sanon and five-star prospect Jayden Quaintance were expected to lead Arizona State to new heights, but the team fell well short of expectations and finished 13-19 overall in the team’s first season in the Big 12, losing in the first round of the Big 12 tournament and missing the NCAA Tournament.
Coach Bobby Hurley is expected to return as head coach for 2025-26, going into the final season of his contract.

Nope, don't want him. Besides, JB and KL have slots sewn up with a big emphasis on bigs Mo Krivas and Veesaar, and worse if Carter Bryant comes back. There is not a lead slot for him. He'll go to UCLA or somewhere he can get 25 shots a game
Sanson only went to ScumDevil U because he wasn't going to get 30 minutes in Tucson, heck he might have maybe only gotten 12-15.These guys are mercenaries, they want to win, build their brand, get to the Dance, not rebuild. They want to compete, not be at the mercy of an emotional, out of control coach. But really it's about the W's and spotlight that brings. Play-in Bobby does not offer a path for that. Say good bye to Koa too. He'll love Tucson
Big deal! One of the tourney teams just had 7 players declare for the portal.
