RIVERSIDE, CA — California Baptist University men’s basketball head coach Kyle Getter announced the signing of two freshman guards, Shawn Foster II and Zaire Rasshan, on National Signing Day, November 11, 2026. These athletes are expected to bolster the Lancers’ backcourt as the program prepares for the upcoming season.
Shawn Foster II, a 6-foot-2 guard from Lima Senior High School in Lima, Ohio, is a 4-star recruit recognized by 24-7 Sports. Foster scored over 1,000 points in his high school career and plays AAU basketball for Phenom United. Lima Senior High’s head coach, Quincey Simpson, praised Foster as an elite-level shooter with notable athleticism. Foster’s older brother plays collegiate football at Tiffin University.
Zaire Rasshan, a 6-foot-3 guard from Damien High School in La Verne, California, averaged more than 17 points per game in his junior season and helped lead Damien to a CIF State Division I basketball title. His high school coach, Mike LeDuc, commended him as one of the finest shooters he has coached, highlighting the 152 three-pointers Rasshan made last season as pivotal to their championship success. Rasshan plays AAU basketball for All In Elite and is the son of Osaar Rasshan, a former UCLA football player.
Getter expressed enthusiasm about adding both players, citing their high school success and scoring abilities as strong fits for the Lancers’ basketball program. These are the first signees for Getter and his staff since they assumed leadership of the program in April 2026. California Baptist is scheduled to play Chicago State at 7 p.m. on November 11 and Arkansas Pine Bluff on November 13 as part of their early season schedule.
CSB Take
The signings of Shawn Foster II and Zaire Rasshan demonstrate California Baptist University men’s basketball’s commitment to enhancing its guard play with skilled scorers and shooters. Both recruits bring proven scoring experience and a strong ability from behind the arc, critical to the Lancers’ competitive ambitions. As Kyle Getter begins his first season as head coach, these additions could provide key contributions and help shape the team’s identity moving forward.
