Florida’s basketball team has received a commitment from forward Walter Pitchford.

Pitchford, who signed with DePaul in 2010 before asking out of his letter when Oliver Purnell was named head coach, is playing at Summit Christian Academy in East Lansing, Mich., this year.

Pitchford will be ready to play for Florida this fall. He will be allowed to sign a national letter of intent with the Gators in April when the spring signing period begins.

Pitchford is the second member of Florida’s class of 2011. Florida has already signed guard Brandon Beal, who was recently named to the McDonald’s All-American team.
