The impressive season, matched with consistent recruiting, has enabled the Apps to continue building toward the title of a Southern Conference power. With several big men slated to graduate after next season, Houston Fancher and his staff have been looking long and hard at potential replacements.

As of now, the ASU staff has Mundy's Mill High (Fayetteville, Ga.) product and Rivals.com three-star prospect Dennis Harris toward the top of their list and vice versa.

"Right now I've got a top five that I'm looking at," the 6-foot-9, 195-pound Harris said. "It's Appalachian State, Cincinnati, Virginia Tech, Auburn and Western Kentucky (in no particular order). I'm interested in some other schools but those are just my favorites right now.
