Auburn hoops adds 7-foot post-grad commit

AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn men’s basketball picked up its second verbal commit from the class of 2013 in 7-foot center Ronald Delph, as reported by all three recruiting web site services.

Delph is playing this season as post-grad program IMG Academy, the previous source for current Tigers freshman point guard Brian Greene Jr.

Delph visited campus this past weekend and attended the Tigers’ season-opening victory over Indiana-Purdue-Fort Wayne and Auburn’s football game against Georgia, according to AUTigers.com. He plan to sign with Auburn when early signing period opens Wednesday.

Auburn had previously picked up a commitment from point guard Tahj Shamsid-Deen out of Decatur, Ga.
