Florida Gators women’s basketball signs two players

Special report on the Florida Gators women’s basketball team:

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – University of Florida women’s basketball head coach Cam Newbauer announced today the signing of Jordyn Merritt (Plano, Texas) and Brynn Farrell (Ortley Beach, N.J.) to the 2020 recruiting class.

Tabbed a five-star recruit and the nation’s No. 27 overall player by ESPN HoopGurlz, Merritt becomes the highest-ranked recruit to sign with Florida since 2013. With the signing of standout Lavender Briggs a season ago and Merritt in 2020, UF has landed five-star recruits in back-to-back years for the first time since the 2012 and 2013 classes when Ronni Williams and Haley Lorenzen signed on with the Gators.
