lorida International women's basketball head coach Cindy Russo has announced the signings of Laquetta Ferguson, Alexa Kane and Asha Neal to National Letters of Intent for the 2003-04 academic year.

The 5-8 Kane is another shooting guard. A senior at Longwood, Fla., who attends Lake Mary High School, she is a physical guard who likes to drive to the basket.

Neal is a 5-10 small forward who averaged 16 points and 10 points per game her junior campaign at Pine Ridge High School in Deltona, Fla. She is a three-year letterwinner who has picked up first team all-county honors all three seasons.
