TEMPE, Ariz. -- Todd Graham took the podium at Sun Devil football's signing-day press conference last week, wearing a perfectly tailored maroon sport coat that lent him a professorial look.
"I don't do this too often," Graham said while grinning.
Maybe he should do it more. The impressive production of that Feb. 1 press conference was emblematic of the direction the program has taken under Graham. Accessibility has been a hallmark of this coaching staff and the athletic department under Vice President for University Athletics Ray Anderson's leadership.
"We're proud of what we're doing, proud of our program and really proud of the young men that we're recruiting so that's why we're very open with our fans," Graham said.
