Shon Abaev 2025 FL SF 6'7 commit

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.

His shot needs work. He’s athletic as all get out and good slashing to the hoop but has weird side spin on his jump shot. It’s not the stuff you said and everyone wants him to flourish here.

Well said, I believe Wes also wanted Rayvon to bulk up a little, has a very skinny frame. Hopefully by his junior year, we will what all the scouts saw in him!

We had some players under Huggs that bulked up and struggled with their shooting for a while.

He is third in OTE in scoring ... with all that being said, I have no idea how OTE works but obviously he's facing some talented opposing players

But love the 91% free throws.

Abaev played in a HS showcase yesterday against a school from Texas. His Calvary Christian team scored 89. Abaev went for 42 and 15

Abaev was even better than that. He actually had 19 rebounds, per the tourney's X account.

Will he be a McD all american?

Will he be a McD all american?

Most likely IMO.

It would be nice to get some updates on Abaev and Tillery other than just their ranking.

Such as?

For Abaev you can check the link below. It's Overtime Elite's newsletter. It's not Abaev specific but you'll get a nice summary of what he's doing on the court from there.
