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

[Frozen]

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

Is he Jewish, though?

 

[cusefan88]

Is he Jewish, though?

From what I can tell via social media etc, I think his family is Israeli.

 

[richmondcuse03]

any idea on who the other recruit was?

Looks like it was actually his brother based on photos shared after.

Is he Jewish, though?

I don't think so, I haven't heard his name in the Hanukkah Song.

Would not be surprised if we land this kid.

Wow, that is encouraging. He is REALLY good, I hope you're right.

Acaden, Kiyan, Shon, & Sadiq.

Breathe it in!

Acaden isnt happening. Been trending away from us for awhile hence why we’re trying to make up ground on the Tillery side

Do you think if we land Kiyan and Shon, it might pull him back in?

 

[cardiac]

I would rather land Shon then Acaden, need experience at the center and PG spot

Havent seen a single about them wanting to play together or even linking the two. They played in separate summer leagues. Dont think its applicable unfortunately.

Yeah, I'm sure you're right. But, playing alongside other top multiple top 35 players may be appealing, albeit lacking the personal relationships. Either way, it's about talent accumulation and Shon Abaev is RIDICULOUS and Kiyan is getting better and better as is Sadiq. I love the talent we are getting and the talent we are involved with with a real possibility of landing.

Edit: I appreciate the feedback.

I was hoping we had a chance, but Jake chiming in with that?!?!?!!? Let's land this guy. As good as Jemison and Frost are, this guy is a PRO. He is a bucket, he is a difference maker.

He looks the part for sure.

Acaden's comments about Duke were glowing and I think they are in a good position to land him (that is if Cayden Boozer goes elsewhere). If we don't get Tillery or have a sense that he's out of our reach, perhaps we should make a quick decision and go with Tyler Jackson before he's off the table and trust that we will find a capable veteran in the portal who can start while Tyler develops as a point guard by his 2nd year.

Seems like Tyler wants to be Orange, so he probably won't give us a problem as a freshman playing backup point or combo guard in 3 guard lineups.

 

[5OutFred]

Getting Abaev would be a fantastic sign for Engelstad's recruiting chops as lead.

Abaev complements Sadiq White's freakish athleticism and Kiyan's scoring ability. Really like Red's vision here.

Jake giveth and SUOrange taketh away! I have the sadz. Screw UConn, if they’re what’s messing things up with Acaden.

Ha! Trust Jake above all! If we get Shon, then WOW. Im still in the Forest boat but u cant go wrong with either. I think im biased to the transfer portal nowadays vs HS recruits. Have to have both but man oh man, I’d love a Junior/Senior transfer pg every year vs a HS recruit. I think I’m jaded from the “potential, they’ll improve” days and want them ready to rock day 1

 

[walsh2012]

We really are

 

[littlereg]

kid has some serious handle and ball control too.

 

[jordville]

Love Shon’s game! One of my favorite ‘25s. Point forward.

Agreed. At this point I just wanna see who commits first, Kiyan or Shon lol. Having both with Sadiq is so awesome
