Martin has not made a decision yet but is expected to return to ASU, according to head coach Bobby Hurley. White, meanwhile, decided to transfer to Ole Miss.
Martin has until 10 days after the NBA Draft Combine or Aug. 3, whichever comes first, to withdraw his name from the list and return to ASU.
The Sun Devils recruiting class ranks No. 7 in the nation with four commits including five-star recruit Joshua Christopher and four-star recruits Marcus Bagley and Pavlo Dziuba. Christopher is the only one of the newcomers to play guard.
