The Gophers offered Asuma May 2022 and have made him their top 2024 recruiting priority. Iowa State, Butler, and Xavier are among other high-major programs after Asuma.
A career 2,000 point scorer, Asuma is hoping to lead his team to a 1A state championship in March. They fell in the semifinals last year. Come spring, he’ll play AAU for D1 Minnesota.
A 6-foot-3 guard, Asuma can play multiple positions. Asuma becomes the first basketball player from Cherry to receive a full-ride Division I basketball offer. He began his varsity career as a 7th grader.
An exceptional athlete and student, Asuma also excels on the football field.
