LSU media make major mistake on Deng Deng: There are two Deng Dengs!!!

As has been mentioned in a few other threads on here, but not by most media covering LSU, there are two recruits/players named Deng Deng.
One is a 6-6 guard/forward from Utah who will be a freshman this year at Long Beach State. While he is apparently from the Sudan (not Australia), he spent his entire high school in Utah.
The other is a 6-8 forward who will be a freshman at Lee College in Texas, who has committed to LSU. He is originally from the Sudan, but spent the past 7 years in Australia. As far as I can tell, he graduated from high school in Australia and has never attended a high school in the United States.
Most media outlets covering this commitment have used a picture of the Utah Deng Deng, and even added in the false story that he was not eligible at Long Beach State and had to go to junior college. Many of them have since edited their on-line stories, but did not mention the mistake or write an additional story detailing the fact that there are two Deng Dengs.
ETA: Gary Laney of the the LSU site on ESPN is the only media person to mention this, that I have been able to find.

Can we get the other one to transfer too? In a years time I would like a starting lineup consisting of only Hamminks and Deng Dengs.

The Long Beach State one that we didn't get.
The one we got came straight from Australia. None of the recruiting services know anything about him, or had ever heard of him, until he committed to LSU.
I think a lot of people have been underwhelmed by "our" Deng Deng, because of this. This guy was sent to Lee College direct from Australia by David Patrick. He was always going to whatever college Patrick told him to go to.

There is also apparently a pro player in of Sudanese-British nationality named Deng Deng playing in Australia:
Deng!
Deng!

Based on the pics of him in Australia, I hope he can add weight while at JUCO. Looks like he can jump though.

I just wished they'd get the Deng Deng-thing right.

He looks to have real nice length and a nice shoulder base to get stronger and bigger with out losing anything.

New slogan if we play Long Beach State:
Our Deng Deng is better than your Deng Deng!
Our Deng Deng is better than your Deng Deng!

I'm going to be pretty upset if we don't schedule Long Beach St.
