Amida Brimah, a 6-foot-11 shot-blocker out of Miami's Archbishop Coleman Carroll High, has committed to UConn.

"I will be playing college basketball at (the) University of Connecticut," Brimah tweeted early this morning.

He is the first player to commit since Kevin Ollie took over as head coach. Here's some video of Brimah in action.

Brimah arrived in Connecticut late Saturday night and is currently on an official visit. He'll take in tonight's UConn-Louisville game at the XL Center.

Here's what we had to say about Brimah recently. Offensively, he's a bit of a project (though he's been improving virtually by the day). Defensively, he's ready now.
