South Florida has received a verbal commitment from a top junior college prospect for the second consecutive day.

Waverly Austin, one of the top JUCO post prospects committed to South Florida.

As a freshman at Palm Beach State, Austin averaged 18 points and 10 rebounds per game. 

After attending numerous high schools, he did not qualify for initial eligibility to play for the Bulls out of high school.

When Austin signed with South Florida in 2009, coach Stan Heath was quoted in the official press release as saying,”At 6-10, 240-pounds, Waverly is just scratching the surface of his ability. He has good skills, good hands for a big guy, he runs the floor and he plays above the rim. It’s just a matter of him learning the college system, getting bigger and stronger, and developing his skills to use at this level. We expect him to be a very productive player for USF.”

Austin recently listed Miami, Maryland, Florida, South Florida, Baylor, Kansas and Missouri as potential suitors.

Musa Abdul-Aleem, a sophomore at Georgia Perimeter College, has committed to South Florida as a member of the 12-13 class.

Abdul-Aleem is one of the top JUCO players in the country and had been recruited by Memphis, Rhode Island, Georgetown, Gonzaga, West Virginia, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, UAB and Nebraska, according to GPC associate head coach David Dennis.

He’s a heck of a basketball player,” Dennis said. “He shoots the ball exceptionally well, he defends well, shares the basketball well. He’s a complete player. He has a chance to come to South Florida and make an impact, and help them start to be successful.”

Center Tyler Bergantino has committed to the University of Massachusetts.

Bergantino held offers from USF, Virginia Tech, Ohio University, Buffalo and Georgia Southern. He is a two-time winner of the St. Petersburg Times' all-North Suncoast player of the year award.
