BREAKING: Basha HS OT Jake Hildebrand (@JakeH_2027) just gave the Sun Devils their highest-ranked in-state pledge in 247Sports history and their highest-ranked OL commitment this century. A massive "Hometown Hero" addition for ASU. More historical context:

@michaelcrow@NoahGragson,
Kenny Dillingham has worked so hard at getting the community to Activate the Valley. He got exactly what he asked for, I’ve never felt so much ASU spirit in the area. The Valley will be DEACTIVATED overnight if you don’t pay the man and get him to stay.
I can’t open X without my feed being flooded with #KennyDillingham scares.
Please @michaelcrow & @GrahamRossini give him everything he wants to keep him in the Valley. If we let this one slip away, the barometer for ASU football’s future will forever point back to this moment..
(Part 3/3): …and at 10pm at night, I received a personal reply from @GrahamRossini. This guy is getting hundreds of emails, and took the time to respond to assure me that he’s on top of it. You’d NEVER see this type of action from Ray Anderson. Big things are happening in Tempe!
(Part 1/3): Like a lot of other Sun Devils have recently done, I too sent an email to @michaelcrow & @GrahamRossini regarding the urgency to create a plan to keep Kenny Dillingham at ASU. I ended the email with…
(Part 2/3): “Kenny Dillingham is not just winning games—he is rebuilding the soul of ASU Football. Please do not let this shooting star pass us by. ASU Football’s future depends on this moment—and on keeping a Sun Devil who truly loves being here, home.” 6 hours later…
COLUMN: By locking up Kenny Dillingham for the long haul with contractual commitments that match his loyalty to the Sun Devils, Michael Crow and Graham Rossini would secure a legacy-defining accomplishment for the ages.
ASU's fans are already on board.

We need to keep Kenny Dillingham at Arizona State. I just wrote an email to Dr Michael Crow and AD Graham Rossini and I encourage you to do the same. Forks Up 🔱
I can honestly say Dillingham is one of the only AZ sports figures of my lifetime who gives a shit about the state, its fans and building a winner here
It’s a weird and new feeling but it’s also why he has become a damn folk hero here in only a handful of years
Im calling on my ASU community to help me. After 2 years I am asking the community in the valley to help us grow. A small donation would speak volumes for our program and our boys. We have won despite not having a lot of key things needed to become the program we dream of. Where we are heading we need to fundraise!!! Our boys don’t complain or sulk they are grateful for the opportunity to play football. Please please please donate to @azcompassfb. Here is the link: https://t.co/Rm4025UMvh
I have no sources😬Kenny Dillingham is not going anywhere. He is a man of character, his word actually means something in the slimy world of sports. Tag this Tweet and share it, when all this BS is over💯He’s a Sun Devil and my kinda guy😤Watch👀
