BYU added some international flair to its 2019 recruiting class with the signing of 6-foot-11 Chinese big man Shengzhe Li.
Li is from Shanghai, China, and moved to California as a foreign exchange student last year at the start of his junior season. In his first season for Santa Margarita High School (Orange County, CA), he put up averages of 6.8 PPG, 5.6 RPG, 1.2 APG, 53.1 FG%, 66.7 FT%. Li really started to come on strong in the AAU summer circuit where he showed improvement from the start of junior year to become recognized as one of the premier low-post players in Southern California.
