In a nice little bit of poetic justice, Herb Sendek lifted a former McDonalds All-American from right under Mike Krzyzewski… and in the process, shot a middle finger to all the NC State fans and administration who said he couldn’t recruit.

Eric Boateng, who didn’t play a lot in his freshman year at Duke, is transferring to Arizona State, where Sendek landed after being jettisoned by NC State. Coach K tried to get him stay… he pulled him into his office, let him know there would be major minutes on the table for him, with Shelden Williams graduating. But it didn’t work.

Who knows if it will be a good move for Boateng… maybe he’ll be a complete non-factor. But for right now, it’s a nice little parting shot for Herb Sendek as he departs the ACC. This one has to feel good for him.
