It will be a few years before Majok Deng suits up for any college, but Tucsonans will want to keep an eye on the Salpointe Catholic standout.

Deng is a highly-regarded recruit in the 2019 class, rated four stars by Scout.com. He’s a 6-foot-5 small forward with scholarship offers from seven schools, including Grand Canyon and Arizona State.

Arizona has yet to offer Deng, but donโ€™t be surprised if that happens in the near future. Deng attended Wednesday nightโ€™s game.ย
