The UCF men’s basketball team is suddenly became a much bigger team with the commitment from one single recruit.
Tacko Fall, a 7-foot-6 center from Senegal who moved to the United States in 2012, has committed to the Knights, according to multiple reports.
Fall, who is currently a senior at Liberty Christian Prep in Tavares, Fla., had received offers from several major programs such as Georgetown, Clemson and Kansas State, but chose to stay close to home.
Despite only being a teenager, Fall already has three inches on the current tallest player in the NBA, Hasheem Thabeet of the Oklahoma City Thunder, who stands at 7-foot-3.
