After playing with one of the youngest teams in Division I basketball this season, reports indicated coach Orlando Antigua added fifth-year senior Angel Nunez of Gonzaga on Monday afternoon.
Nunez will make USF his third different team since signing with Louisville his freshman season in 2011.
The 6-foot-8, 202-pound senior transferred to Gonzaga midway through his sophomore season after suffering a concussion that caused him to sit out the majority of the year and earn a medical redshirt.
Nunez has yet to earn substantial playing time in his career, and averaged 6.3 minutes last season.
His best season came in 2013-14 when he averaged 3.5 points and two rebounds in 7.3 minutes.
