New Additions Round Out Arizona State Basketball Coaching Staff 2025‑26

In today’s episode of the Arizona State Sun Devils Insider Podcast, we take a look at the 2025-26 men's basketball coaching staff being finalized - with the first game of the season just under two months away.

To listen to today's podcast, view below.

Bobby Hurley has notably opted to approach the 2025-26 rendition of the program differently - bringing in several new voices on the sideline in the coaching staff, and constructing a roster that features only one returning player from last season.

Hurley's Official 2025-26 Roster:

Bigs (5): Dame Salane, Allen Mukeba, Mor Massamba Diop, Kash Polk, Santiago Trouet

The most notable changes from this season's roster compared to last boil down to three factors - more veteran presence, more proven three-point shooting, and more international players.

Grbovic, Icitovic, Salane, Diop, Meeusen and Trouet are all international studs - a completely different approach to previous seasons under Hurley, while numerous players head into this season with serious samples of being great three-point shooters.

The increase in scholarship players on the roster is worthy of noting as well, as the 2024-25 team often had to play seven or six-deep due to injuries suffered and Hurley's philosophy of not filling out a roster.

Lastly, Odum provides a stabilizing force for the offense that hasn't been present within the program as far back as Derek Glasser.
