Kudos to CWM. Welcome Mr. Abaev let's bringing back bearcat bball.

Awesome signing. Keep them coming. Congrats to CWM!

I enjoyed what CWM said about him. While 247 said he was a ball hog on his HS team, he didn't have many options to pass. I suspect that CWM was speaking of his AAU team (AAU not known for passing) to say that he is a playmaker. CWM is on top of it with Tillery and now Abaev. So far, so good. The other thing I was excited about is that he is a winner. You can't coach that and the Cats need a good dose of that attitude.CWM is starting to get known on the recruiting circuit and I hope he stays to see the fruit of his foundation building.

Wow!!! Shocker!! Major, major recruit. Good for the program. Maybe, signing Abaev will attract a nice big man to replace Aziz for next year.

Well that's another huge commitment for next year... Will be interesting to see where this group is ranked when it's all done!

He signed during the recent signing period. The announcement was a formality. I expect he’ll be one and done and based on what I’ve been told the NIL was substantial

[GoBearcats31]

Looks like he’s already signed

[GoBearcats31]

Let’s go!

Here’s one. First 5 star recruit since 2013

I thought he might have been going live on YouTube or another media outlet..

Do we have any links to Shon making it offical?

Thanksgiving announcement? I mean, I'll be thankful and all, but feels odd....

Shon Abaev isn't American. He's Israeli and came to one of the Florida basketball "high schools" to get quality coaching and be seen.
