    Bruno Kuzuhara was hotly pursued by Florida. After winning the Junior Australian Open a couple of months ago, he rose to number one in the junior ITF rankings. It came down to Florida or Texas if he didn't go pro, but the lure of professional money was just too much. Kuzuhara is working with Kosmos Sports Management on a professional deal. It is very rare for a player ranked that high in the world junior rankings to enroll in college. Florida intends to sign two more players for next season.

    I see on Tennis Recruiting Network that the #1 ranked juniors for both boys and girls are from Florida so hopefully we have a shot here.

    Was afraid that would happen...too bad
    Assuming Riffice doesn't use his covid year, we will have a ton of talent to replace....Vale, Andrade, siimar, goodger. Will badly need a couple more
