You gain one. You lose one. Sometimes that’s the way the recruiting world rolls. But it was a good week for the Arizona State football staff, which reeled in two high school pledges in 48 hours.
Four-star wide receiver Nalin Scott of McEachern High School in Georgia committed on April 28, while the Sun Devils picked up a pledge from yet another Texas prospect in running back Cardae Mack from Atascocita High School in Humble, Texas, which is 20 miles north of Houston.
