Jonathan Nwankwo, a former Minnesota signee, committed to VCU on Friday night.
The commitment was reported by both Evan Daniels of Scout.com and Jeff Borzello of ESPN.com.
The 6-foot-9 Nwankwo received his release from his National Letter of Intent on May 18. He becomes the second pledge in as many days for new VCU coach Will Wade. On Thursday, former St. John’s commit Samir Doughty picked the Rams.
The two join Gerron Scissum, JuCo transfer Ahmed Hamdy Mohamed and Oral Roberts graduate transfer Korey Billbury (eligible immediately) in VCU’s incoming class.
