Deng Deng, a JUCO forward out of Lee College in Baytown, Texas, has committed to play for LSU this upcoming season.

"It's a good school and it's in a great conference," Deng said. "I've been following LSU since I was young. I'm a big fan of Shaq O'Neal."

Lee's coach, Roy Champage, said LSU is getting a skilled forward who is suited for the SEC and LSU coach Johnny Jones' up-tempo style of play.

"He's a versatile player,” Champagne said. “He's got great passing kills, he can handle the ball and he can shoot. He's going to be asked to be a complete player here. He can do the things at all five positions that need to be done.”
