Deng has recently also received offers from Vanderbilt and Arizona State University. He also possesses offers from the University of New Mexico, Grand Canyon, San Francisco and also Weber State.
Deng has helped lead his Salpointe team to a 10-6 overall record thus far this season. Salpointe will compete this season for a 4A Division state title.

He is fundamentally sound and is a very good ball handler and passer. An excellent teammate, as he plays with reckless abandon and is a winner.
