Honestly, regardless of which school he picks, Deng has handled this with a high amount of class.  He hasn't been begging for attention on twitter, he wasn't squawking about his favorites and visits a

If you don't think the majority of consistently successful college basketball programs are paying for players in some way, shape, or form, you're kidding yourself.

Last thing he needs in steel beams falling on his rehabilitated ankle

Is it realistic to expect Deng to play next season, or is he likely to have to redshirt to continue to recover from his injury? I could see positives for both scenarios...just curious if anyone had come across any recent insight from BR or Washut or someone with some inside info.

Last I heard is that Deng Deng is planning on recovering to make a go of it in the fall... hope it works out as planned. It would be great to see double-D in RED.

If forget exactly what BR said but it seemed like he should be recovered for next year.

It would be huge for Nebraska if Deng Deng could come off of the bench for Pitchford at the 4-Spot.

It would be legit if Nebraska's lineup down low next season was:

Starting:

4- Pitchford

5- Ayegba

Off the bench:

4- Deng, Rivers

5- Smith

I think he will play the 3-spot:

Starting:

3- Shields

Off the bench:

3-Fuller

I think Deng is more of a 3 than Fuller

 

He's a stretch 4 that can really play any position if needed.  I mentioned it earlier in the thread but I feel like he would fit the Manu Ginobili mold perfectly.  Good enough to start but is the 6th man that comes in for a spark.  He will slide around positions to give guys a break from the 3 to 5 positions.  Then at the end of the game, when offensive possessions are needed, he plays the 4 with Pitch at the 5, Shavon at the 3, and Petteway at the 2.  Gives them a lot of options late in the game.

I don't know that it matters much which one is on the roster as a 3 and which one is listed as a 4...I think in this system, the 3 and 4 will have fairly similar skillsets.

The reason I put Deng at the 4-spot and Fuller at the 3-Spot is simply because I think Deng is currently a better rebounder, but like I've said before, I think the 2, 3, and 4 spots should all be looked at basically as wing-type players. With the 2 being the strongest shooter of them and the 4 being the strongest rebounder of them, but for the most part, those positions seem to be very similar in this system.

Deng can guard the wing way better than Fuller, that is the reason he is the 3 & Fuller is the 4. I hope we get a chance to see them play on the second unit together. Picking LSU over Nebraska at this stage would be mind boggling.

After his visit, though, Deng said Nebraska would definitely be tough to beat.

"Nebraska's always been one of my favorites, but I'll know for sure after I go to LSU," Deng said. "But Nebraska is one of the top schools on my list right now. I'm really looking forward to coming here, but I've got to go compare and contrast with some other schools, you know? But it's one of my top schools now."

This sentence stuck out to me a little bit...maybe I'm being dumb, or reading too much into this, but...:

"I'm really looking forward to coming here, but I've got to go compare and contrast with some other schools, you know?"

Interesting choice of words, that's for sure. I'm sure he took an official visit to LSU two years ago, too. Isn't it the same coaching staff? Seems a little strange to need to take another one, but I suppose there's no harm since it isn't his money.

I'm starting to really hate those guys!

First Elbert and now Deng.  It's so humid down there.  And has anyone told them about the kudzu?

 

 

Kudzu, and Spanish Moss too!

 

Gah, do people have no common sense?  WHY would you choose to live in such a horrible place!  On purpose!!!
