Sendek strikes again!
State fans might have gritted their teeth or merely shrugged their shoulders when former coach Herb Sendek brought in a high-profile transfer (Eric Boateng) and a big-time recruit to Arizona State.
But this? This news really had to hurt.
Yes, Seattle point guard Jamelle McMillan forged a bond with Sendek in his staff before he left State. But this was the son of former Wolfpack great Nate McMillan. A lot of Wolfpack fans thought the history with the school would outweight the connection to the coach. Apparently, that wasn't the case.
State still is - at least theoretically - in the running for D.C. point guard Chris Wright, who rescinded his commitment to State after Sendek left. But frankly, I thought the Wolfies had a better shot at landing McMillan. It may be time to look at option No. 3 at point guard for the Class of 2007. Farnold Degand, the transfer from Iowa State is considered a combo guard, but he may have to man the point if an adequate replacement isn't found for Engin Atsur.

Farnold Degand is considered one of the best guards. He is the do everything guy.
