Two App State men’s basketball recruits travel to Boone Saturday for their first official visits since being offered.
Justin Abson, a 6-foot-9 power forward, makes the trip from North Broward Prep in Coconut Creek, Florida. Last season, Abson averaged 16.8 points and 12 rebounds per game as a junior. App State sent its offer to Abson May 19, just over two months after the Mountaineers won the Sun Belt Championship. Other notable teams to offer the two-star recruit are Sun Belt foes Troy and Georgia State, as well as in-state rival Charlotte.
The other class of 2022 recruit is combo guard Ryan Conwell.
