Florida received a commitment from Walter Pitchford on Wednesday.

Pitchford is averaging 17.4 points, 9.5 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game for Summit Christian Academy of Michigan.

"He’s a tremendous shooter for a kid his size and also a tremendous athlete," said Summit coach Steve Ernst, "and what he’s really learned tobe and what he’s worked on and what I’m proud of is he’s become a really good leader."

Pitchford had signed a Letter of Intent with DePaul coming out of high school but asked to be released after coach Jerry Wainwright was fired.
