Class of 2025 SF Shon Abaev (FL) Portal from Cinci

[HyattsCuse]

if the team was to recruit 5 high school 4 stars or better, there would still be room for 2 additional portal players next year. That does not even count the extra two positions if the scholarships increase to 15.

The recruits under consideration are within the top 50 high school basketball players for 2024-2025. Adding 2 or more will only improve the team and give HCAA a better, more talented team to coach.

Exhibit A - see Duke's roster this year. 5 stud frosh, a couple portal guys in Maliq and the Purdue kid, as well as a couple hold overs in Proctor and Foster.

I'll be curious to see how it works.

I've said it before, but I like Frost, but Shon Abaeve is a step above. If we have a chance, we have to put everything toward this guy because he is NBA All-Star talent.

Messed around and almost got a triple double with 22 points, 10 assists, and 8 boards (swipe for some more highlights)…

I’d love to see Kiyan and Shon paired as our wings!

 

[hoopsupstate]

He’s a flat out bucket maker. You win with guys like this. In close games you need guys like him who can just score whenever they want to. Being a lefty is another big plus. Add him and Lewis and we’re golden.

I had a piece this week on Shon, after talking to a few insiders about his recruitment. As far as I can tell, no clear-cut favorite at this point, and he's got multiple OVs after 'Cuse this weekend. He'll also have taken 10 total OVs when all is said and done. Shon has said he's developed a strong relationship with Coach Red. We'll see how this pans out. Not sure there are teams that have significantly distanced themselves from the pack for Shon at this juncture:

He was at the game / on field pre game along with I think another recruit. All the coaches were there with him. Love the full court press.

any idea on who the other recruit was?

White, Shon and Kiyan would be about as good as an offensive trio you can pull in one class. That is ELITE offensive ability. Add in a point guard from the high school ranks then a center from the high school ranks or portal. This class to go off last years class with Moore, Freeman and Petar will have us back in the championship contender convo if Autry can put it all together coaching them up

I like it. Other OVs set up are USC, Auburn, Cinci and Maryland - after those I hope the staff tries to lock him up before he sets up more OVs. Gives him enough to compare to so lock him up before harder comp comes in

I don't think Shon will take more OVs after those last four. He will have taken 10 in total at that point.

Let's hope he wants to play in our " insane arena!"

I take it Shon is aware that Cuse has a very high Jewish student population? he would do quite well at the sororities - this aint no Columbia
