One goal for SMU in the 2016 recruiting cycle was to rebuild its frontcourt.

Friday night, SMU added what is likely the final piece to its frontcourt for next season. Bruno Fernando, a four-star center from Montverde Academy (Fla.), announced his commitment to SMU at the DICK’s Sporting Goods High School Nationals on ESPNU.

The 6-foot-10, 225-pound Fernando chose SMU over offers from Alabama, Auburn, Central Florida, Florida State and Marquette, among others. He is ranked the No. 116 overall player in the 247Sports composite player rankings, which factor in several recruiting services’ rankings.

Fernando projects as a center at SMU. He is a post scorer who possesses a solid jump-hook shot and is a capable shot-blocker on defense.

A native of Angola, Fernando joins fellow four-star big men Ted Kapita and Harry Froling in SMU’s 2015 signing class. The trio can sign their national letters of intent when the spring signing period starts April 13. The other two members of the class, guards Tom Wilson and Dashawn McDowell, signed their letters of intent in November in the early signing period.

With the addition of Fernando, SMU’s 2016 recruiting class moves into the top 15 nationally, according to the 247Sports.com composite team rankings.
