The Muncie (Ind.) Star Press reported on Thursday that center Mading Thok has verbally committed to Ball State.

Thok gives the Cardinals four recruits for their 2012 class which also includes shooting guard Michael Ramey, power forward Bo Calhoun and point guard Marcus Posley.

"I chose Ball State because I think I have a good relationship with the coaches, and the other thing is they recruited me the most," Thok told the paper. "I felt comfortable with how they recruited me and how they handled things during the recruitment."
