Kimani Lawrence to Arizona State: Sun Devils Land 4-Star SF Prospect

The Arizona State Sun Devils men's basketball team added a huge commitment to its class of 2017 haul Saturday, as small forward Kimani Lawrence revealed his intention to play for ASU.

According to Evan Daniels of Scout.com, Lawrence believes he will be a great fit with the Sun Devils: "I just felt comfortable with the coaching staff, the players and even down to the managers. I just had a good vibe with everybody. I really believe what they are saying and will help me get to the next level. I think it's going to be a good situation for me." 

Per Scout.com, Lawrence is a 4-star recruit who ranks as the No. 54 overall player, No. 11 small forward and No. 1 small forward from the state of New Hampshire in his class.

Nick Coit of ABC6 in Providence, Rhode Island, tweeted a photo of Lawrence making his decision official:

According to Daniels, Arizona State head coach Bobby Hurley has enjoyed a great deal of success in luring top talent to the desert during his short tenure at the program:

Per Daniels, Lawrence chose ASU over a pair of top schools in Florida and USC.

The Sun Devils haven't made the NCAA tournament since 2013-14, and they are coming off a disappointing 15-17 season under Hurley.

Hurley has a penchant for turning programs around, though, as he led Buffalo to its first-ever NCAA tourney trip before joining ASU.

Elite talent is starting to come together at Arizona State, and if Lawrence lives up to his potential as a do-everything wing who excels at both ends of the floor, he could be a key figure in the Sun Devils' resurgence.
