Arizona State basketball coach Herb Sendek scored a recruiting coup Wednesday when 6-foot-5 guard Keala King, considered the best prospect in the state of California, committed to the Sun Devils.
King, from Mater Dei High School in southern California, is ranked by Rivals as the 25th overall prospect of the 2010 class. ESPN lists King as the 53rd overall prospect.
King had scholarship offers from Stanford, Arizona, California and Kentucky, as well as other schools.
King, a southpaw, told ASUdevils.com that he was impressed by how Sendek used James Harden, another left-hander.
“I was looking at James on the film and it’s like a lot the stuff he can do I pretty much can too,” King said. “He’s a little stronger than me and maybe a littler more polished at some of the things but I see myself as Arizona State style player. It’s a school and a system that I think I’d do well in and that made me feel really good.”
