Nebraska, with two men's basketball scholarships still open for the coming season, apparently has its immediate sights on junior college forward Deng Deng and high school wing Jordan Cornish.

 

Deng is a 6-foot-8, 214-pound sophomore at Lee (Texas) College. He committed a year ago to LSU, but instead played a second year of junior college ball.

Deng is scheduled to visit Lincoln this weekend. His first official visit was Wednesday and Thursday at Baylor, the team that defeated Nebraska in the second round of this season's NCAA tournament.

 

On Friday afternoon, Deng tweeted: “Much love for the Bears family for having me on campus, I really had a great time.''

 

Deng was born in Sudan. His family fled to Egypt, then eventually settled in Melbourne, Australia, where he gained citizenship. Nebraska assistant Chris Harriman, who is from Australia, is the lead recruiter on Deng.

 

This week, cbssports.com listed Deng as one of the nation's top five remaining juco players available.

 

In a Feb. 1 game against Region 14 favorite San Jacinto (Texas) College, Deng had 37 points and 15 rebounds. He also had 28 points and 12 rebounds in a win over Blinn College.
