On a sort of a UALR-related note. Why did ASU's Trey Finn back out on his commitment to UALR?
After about two weeks of being committed to the University of Arkansas-Little Rock, Finn decided to come to ASU. "I wanted to live the full college life experience, but being at Little Rock, it wasn't going to be that," Finn said.
One correction though. Finn was committed to UALR for nearly six months and didn't de-commit until the Friday before signing day.
