Arizona a finalist for Salpointe Catholic’s Majok Deng

Salpointe Catholic’s Majok Deng listed his top 12 schools Saturday, and the UA made the cut along with Duke, Ohio State, UCLA, Stanford, Utah, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Cal, Georgia Tech, Princeton, and Rice.

The 6-foot-5 wing is the No. 151 player in the 2019 class and the No. 4 prospect in Arizona, per 247Sports composite rankings.

As a junior, Deng averaged 18.5 points and 9.1 rebounds per game. He shot 39 percent (68-of-174) from 3, per MaxPreps.

Deng led Salpointe to the 4A state championship game last year where it lost to Shadow Mountain High School (which was coached by Mike Bibby).
