Florida basketball landed a massive commitment for the 2016 recruiting class on Sunday evening when big man Gorjok Gak announced his verbal pledge on Twitter.

The 6-foot-10, 205-pound center from Bradenton, Fla., initially committed to Oklahoma State and signed with the Cowboys, but he was let out of his national letter of intent when Oklahoma State parted ways with head coach Travis Ford.

Coach Mike White was able to secure his pledge over the likes of Nebraska, Virginia Tech and others.

"First off I'd like to say thank you to all the great college programs who have been heavily recruiting me," Gak wrote on Twitter. "Today I'm blessed to say that I am committing to the University of Florida.

"It's been a long and rugged process but couldn't have done it without my family and basketball family. It's a good day to be a GATOR!!"

Gak is rated as a three-star prospect but ranks as the No. 190 overall player in the country in the 247Composite, an industry-generated recruiting ranking.

White has been on a roll on the recruiting trail lately. Last week he landed a pledge from four-star small forward DeAundrae Ballard, the nation's No. 58 player in the 2017 recruiting class. Ballard joined guard Shai Alexander, another four-star prospect who is rated as the No. 49 overall player in the country in the 2017 class.
