attended games at Boston College, Providence and UConn in the past, and grew up
being a fan of Syracuse, North Carolina
and Florida (when the Gators won backto-back titles).
"I will be taking all five official visits,"
said Abu, who added that he doesn't know
which schools will get a visit. "I'm looking for a group of guys that want to win as
badly as I do and have a good tradition. I
just need a hard-working group of guys that
are a good fit."
The Boston native grew up a Celtics fan,
but started to follow college basketball in
earnest during his ninth grade year.
"You start to learn that it is more unique
with the style of game in college basketball," Abu said. "The NBA is more isolation and spacing. College basketball is
more precise." ■
