Florida and Tennessee have both made the final five schools for 2020 5-star guard Jaden Springer.
The 6-4 shooting guard, who currently attends IMG Academy (FL), revealed his updated list of schools on Monday night, with the two SEC rivals making the cut.
Memphis, Michigan, and North Carolina are the other teams still in the mix.

Springer is rated as the No. 3 shooting guard and No. 11 player overall in the 2020 class, according to 247Sports.
He took his official visit to Tennessee back in early March, while the Gators first offered him in late April.
Lovell’s Analysis
Obviously, Jaden Springer is going to be an excellent addition for any of these five teams.
There’s a reason he’s rated as a top 15 talent nationally, as he has great size and strength to go along with his excellent playmaking abilities on offense.
The Vols already have one commitment in the 2020 class in 4-star small forward Corey Walker, and pairing those two would give Rick Barnes a lot of options with that particular class.
As for the Gators, they would certainly be excited to add a versatile guard like Springer considering they may have a few players at that position heading to the NBA after this season.
