FSU hoops adds first transfer in Hampton's Jerry Deng

"Let's get it!" Deng said in a graphic announcing his commitment on Twitter.
Deng was a three-star prospect coming out of high school before choosing Hampton.
FSU returns just three scholarship players for 2024-25 in Jamir Watkins, Chandler Jackson and Taylor Bowen.
There's plenty of work to do in the portal, but Deng brings an interior presence and joins a trio of freshmen in forward AJ Swinton, guard Daquan Davis and forward/center Christian Nitu.
