Houston earned commitments from Danuel House and Danrad 'Chicken' Knowles on Sunday.

House is the 15th ranked player in the class of 2012 and Knowles is 56.

"I choose Houston because Coach [James] Dickey made me think long and hard about staying home and playing in front of my family and friends," House said. " I feel that will be an honor and a privilege to do that. 

"I want to help bring back Houston basketball where it needs to be nationally," said House. 

"We want to bring success to the city of Houston again," Knowles said. " I picked Houston because I trust Coach Dickey and the coaching staff and they made me a priority. Everyone who I know and trust is here close to me."
