Katin Reinhardt canceled a trip to Texas on Wednesday and decided to make a verbal commitment to UNLV.

Reinhardt, a 6-foot-5-inch guard from Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei High School, is ranked by Rivals.com as the No. 43 player in the class of 2012.

"I called Coach Rice and said, 'Let's get this done.' I couldn't pass this up," Reinhardt said. "The relationship I have with Coach Rice is great. I can't wait to join that whole team and that coaching staff and try to win a championship. Hopefully, UNLV basketball will be back at the top."
