Akron Secures Third Transfer, Deng Riak from East Carolina
Akron, Ohio – The Akron Zips will be adding a third transfer to the men's basketball program after receiving a signed National Letter of Intent from Deng Riak (Melbourne, Australia), head coach John Groce announced on Wednesday.
"Deng is a perfect fit for our program," Groce said. "He is big and strong, and he can impact the game on both ends of the floor. He is a skilled frontcourt player that can score inside and out with an extremely high basketball I.Q. Deng's length and I.Q. will allow him to be one of the best defenders in the MAC."
