The transfer portal closed earlier in the week for college basketball, but that only meant players could no longer enter. Players can still take visits and figure out where their next destinations will be, and that’s what happened for a former Seminole.
Former FSU forward Jerry Deng has announced that he’s transferring to ACC rival NC State, joining new coach Will Wade in Raleigh. Deng averaged 7.0 PPG while shooting 37% from three. As a 6’9″ lanky wing, his shooting ability can make him a big asset to the right team.

Deng spent his sophomore season in Tallahassee after starting his career at Hampton. Despite his shooting ability, he didn’t offer much else for FSU last season, being a poor rebounder and defender for his size. But his shooting was fun to watch, as he shot 15/35 (42.9%) from deep in the final seven games of the season.
Will Wade plans on turning NC State around in one season after the Wolfpack went 12-19 and fired Kevin Keatts a year after they made the Final Four. He was a great coach at LSU before being caught up in the wire-tap scandal in the late 2010s, but he had instant success in his revival at McNeese State. Wade is a Clemson grad, so he has plenty of experience with the ACC and could get NC State back on track in a hurry.
