Class of 2023 PF Jerry Deng (NY / GA) Portal to NC State

I think we need him or someone exactly like him.

I think we need either a high quality wing or another starting caliber center unless we like missing march. Right now I think talent wise we’re a bubble team but Reds coaching we’ll go 17-15

This will just be a sentiment that many of us are probably going to have until proven otherwise. Lower expectations due to coaching

so this must not be happening?

The longer it goes, the worse it has to be.

That’s NOT what she said.

I hope this doesn’t turn into a Dakota Leffew situation.

Sure feels like it

 

[DomeHolmes]

Is there such a thing anymore as a kid who has the self-confidence to believe that they could earn PT and/or a starting gig without anything being promised to them other than opportunity ?????

Unfortunately those days are over.

When you get players like Kingz or George, they have to be promised a starting position to come.

Then if you want high-quality talent behind them, you probably have to pay a little more than the market to get them to accept a lesser role.

 

[Nicknack]

I don't know anything, does it help if I talk more, or less?

Always less. For sure.

still not having a commitment here can’t be good for our odds. The only thing giving me hope is that, as far as we know, he hasn’t been lining up visits to other schools.

Probably leveraging UNLV and Cuse maybe.

 

[hoopsupstate]

Isn’t he from Rochester? Maybe he’s planning a visit home over the holiday weekend.

Interesting social media activity…his brother Deng Deng, who was recently followed by Alex Kline, posted an Instragram story 4 hours ago with Jerry’s highlights saying Stay Tuned

 

[CuseMan4]

The longer this goes the less likely. Not saying we aren’t still the favorites cause I know the staff really wants him and are pushing extremely hard. But there is one school that is making a late move

Deng Deng? Is he any relation to Duaney Duaney?

Kirby Kirby Dar Dar says Hi!! Hi!!

per my sources we are pretty much out of Deng. Agent asked for more than we were comfortable with.

Doesn’t mean he will get it.

Is there a reason why people can’t say how much he was asking for?

 

[sufan59]

And as we know from the football side. It’s not just meeting that number. But the comfortable range also factors in keeping others in the locking room satisfied with their deals in relative to what Deng role would be here.

Lame. When do we get to be the school that gets to swoop in late on a player?

[RM32]

Ok, so we still don’t have a single player projected to get minutes this year whose primary position is SF. Yes, Kingz will play there as will others, but they are either shooting guards or power forwards. Is there anyone else they are targeting at this point similar to deng?
