Deng Deng 2014 Juco F *committed to Baylor 5.4.14*

Ankle injuries like that are very very troubling career wise.

[Huskerpapa]

Surgery is never good word to hear.  It can certainly heal, but proper rehab is a must.

I wanted to bump this to see if anyone has any new info on Deng. He was the recruit I was most intrigued by due to his skill set and what he could bring to next years team before the broken foot. With Sergej gone it frees up a scholley in the jr class, or if his recovery is slowed he redshirts and is in a smaller soph class. I think he would be worth the risk with more scholarships open. Also, it sounded like he was ours to lose early in the recruiting. Anyone have info to share?

Thought about that too, would that fall under Tim's ODD piece?

Baylor has been thought to be the front runner with recent events but that can always change.

[reddan]

Staff is very concerned about his rehab and has backed off some.

I feel really bad for Deng if that injury is the difference between us wanting him and us backing off of him.  He had some really impressive stats he put up in some games this year and he had some skills, too.  And, at 6'9", he has fantastic length. 

 

That's too bad.

I would love to still at Deng...., would be awesome off the bench

I have to ask...what do you do when you still a player?

[Section_316]

Get* my bad. Please forgive me

Done!

I think this may be even more an option now. He could come in and redshirt the the first year and become fully healed.

I said the same thing in a different thread.  Your post might have come first and I certainly used more words, but we were thinking alike.  #fistbump

If Nebraska doesn't find any other immediate options if still like to get him if he'd be willing to redshirt. Gets him fully healed then separates him from the big junior class and can help bridge the gap for a stretch 4. 

[Norm Peterson]

About all I got is an up arrow for ya.

[The Coach]

Does Deng even have a redshirt year available?  I thought I read once he was a 2-for-2 guy, but maybe that was incorrect.

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

Reading the Rivals articles on Deng it sounds like he is a 3 for 2. But it was not clearly stated that way in any of the articles so I'm not 100%.

[lanigan123]

I think he is the back up plan, like others have stated. Prior to the injury I think he was more in the picture. A lot depends on what happens in the next two weeks and how 2015 shapes up.

I think the Vucetic thing made Miles a little more wary to throw schollies around.

 

1 and done guys arent as big of a risk.

 

I think Miles knows he can get a decent '15 class so maybe Deng is a bit more of a "risk".

 

I think if he is healthy, he is a great fit... but just depends on who we could get instead in '15.

[Norm Peterson]

Deng would only be a 2-year risk and I think he'd be a good risk.  Actually, it would be ideal if he could redshirt a year as he recovers so that we'd have him for the 2 years after next.
