Betsy Harris is shuffling the deck this season.
Entering her second season as the head women's basketball coach at Florida Southern, Harris will have to replace six players from last season's team that finished sixth in the Sunshine State Conference.
She'll do so with a seven-player recruiting class, highlighted by a pair of NCAA Division I transfers from the University of North Florida.
Flo Ward and Bailey Florin will come south from Jacksonville to join the Mocs this upcoming season.
Both juniors, the duo both played limited minutes for the Ospreys over the past two seasons and should see time in the backcourt at Florida Southern.
"Bailey and Flo, they both happen to be best friends," Harris said. "They can shoot it, they can handle it. They're smart on the court and off the court. I think they're both good additions to the team."
They'll be joined by a trio of guards in East Ridge's Katie Roche, Sarasota High's Camille Giardina and Samantha Famulare, a 5-foot-9 shooter from New Jersey. Harris also signed a pair of frontcourt players in Melbourne High's Abby Booth and Austrian forward Anja Fuchs-Robetin.
Both Ward and Fuchs-Robetin were born overseas. Ward played with England's National Under-18 and Under-16 teams in the European Championships, while Fuchs-Robetin played with Austria's Under-20 European Championships team from 2011-13.
"We wanted to sign some transfers and high school kids," Harris said. "We knew if we didn't have some kind of transfers coming in we were going to struggle a little bit."
