Victory Rock Prep (Bradenton, Fla.) power forward Deng Riak committed to East Carolina in March and plans to sign with the Pirates' 2015 class

Riak, a native of Australia, is choosing ECU over offers from Florida, Virginia Tech, Florida International, Florida Atlantic and Florida Gulf Coast. His game circles around his incredible athleticism and ability to shot block on the defensive end of the court.

He has been at Victory Rock Prep school the past year. Prep schools in the US help students close the gap between how the went in High School to what they need to get into a Div 1 college. It basically allows students to get the grades right without going to the Junior College and losing 2 years of eligibility at a bigger program.

Good result for Deng playing for a team in the American conference against some big named teams.

Another kid from the Longhorns program to make it over in the States along with Deng Deng, Mangok Mathiang, Deng Adel, Kuany Kuany and Emmanuel Malou.

A few others who are in JUCO that are promising too.

Also remember Mayan Kiir who also attends Victory Rock. Just turned 16 and 6'9 with plenty of upside.
