  • Deng Gak Sets Four Officials

    Share Zagsblog Share Zagsblog
    Deng Gak, the 6-foot-10 center who runs with the PSA Cardinals and plays for Blair (N.J.) Academy, has set up four official visits.

    Gak will visit Miami (Sept. 23-25), Florida (Oct. 7-9), Indiana (Oct. 14-16) and Kansas (Oct. 21-23), according to Peegs.com. Gak recently cut his list to include those four schools and Duke.

    Miami is expected in to see Gak on Tuesday (today), with Kansas and Florida due on Wednesday.

    “Deng is a late comer to the recruiting scene arriving in New Jersey as a junior,” Blair coach Joe Mantegna said recently. “He hasn’t even scratched the surface of what he will be as he transitions to a totally different culture and a very different style of basketball than he was used to previous. He has very little feel for the differences between these schools growing up in Australia, so the official visits will be a huge part of the process.”
