Shon Abaev 2025 FL SF 6'7 commit

[GoBearcats31]

Looks like he’s already signed

[Lobot]

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

[BearKatz]

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

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

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.

McKinley might as well be part of this class since he's out for the year

You took the words right out of my mouth

Folks didn't Erik Martin and Curtis Bostic make you fall in love with the Cats again after a few futile years.
Then the great Huggs inside players and Eric Hicks.

[Rufus]

I tell you Betsy, page, and McKinley looks awful formidable if all three can obtain the craving to rebound and then Abaev as guard that's to four out of five that's 6'8" or taller.

Does anyone have a feel for why Griffith gets so few minutes of play? Not as talented as was though, uncoachable, lazy?
I really want him to be successful.
