RIVERSIDE --- The excitement of National Signing Day can be felt at California Baptist University, as head coach Kyle Getter and his staff have added two guards to their signing class. Adding a pair of high-level scorers, Getter has inked the first pair of commitments that will look to make an impact next season in Riverside.
Getter has locked down guards Shawn Foster II and Zaire Rasshan, a pair of incoming freshmen who will add to the Lancers' backcourt.
"We are extremely excited to add both young men to our basketball program," said Getter. "Shawn and Zaire both exemplify the pillars of our program and come from high school programs that have won at a high level. They will be great additions to our team and the university community."
Foster will come to the Lancers by way of Lima, OH, and Lima Senior High School. He plays AAU basketball for Phenom United. A dynamic scorer, Foster has scored over 1,000 career points during his high school career, highlighted by a career-high 42 points in a single game.
The 6-2 guard is rated as a 4-start prospect by 24-7 Sports, making him the second 4-star recruit landed by Getter's staff. Steven Reynolds III, a freshman on the Lancers and a member of Getter's first signing class, was the first 4-star signee in program history.
"CBU is getting a high-level player who can fill it up quickly," said Quincey Simpson, Foster's head coach at Lima Senior HS. "Shawn is an elite-level shooter with some high-flying athleticism."
Foster will continue a lineage of collegiate athletics, following his older brother, who plays football at Tiffin University in Ohio.
"Shawn is someone I have been recruiting for the past few years," added Getter. "When I first got the job here, from a recruiting perspective, Shawn was a top target for us. He is an extremely competitive, athletic combo guard who possesses the ability to make everyone around him better. We couldn't be more excited about what Shawn is bringing to CBU. "
Rasshan, a 6-3 guard, will be a second-generation college athlete, following in the footsteps of his father, Osaar, who played football at UCLA. While at CBU, Rasshan plans to study Business.
A native of Rancho Cucamonga, Rasshan attends Damien High School in La Verne, and plays AAU basketball for All In Elite. Rasshan averaged over 17 PPG in his junior season while winning a CIF State Division I title. Rasshan scored 18 points, including five 3-pointers, in the championship game at the Golden 1 Center in Sacramento.
"Zaire is a great young man who comes from a great family," said Mike LeDuc, head coach of Damien HS. "He's one of the finest shooters that I've ever coached. His 152 three-pointers that he made last year were very instrumental in us being able to win a state championship. CBU is going to love him and how he plays."
On the addition of Rasshan, Getter added, "Zaire was one of our top local targets and is a tremendous player. His ability to shoot the ball is what immediately stands out, but he is a complete guard who is a tremendous leader that has won a lot of games at the high school level."
National Signing Day for Division I Basketball was November 11, 2026, giving high school athletes their first opportunity to formally announce where they will continue their basketball journey. The two signings are the first signing-day additions for Getter and his staff, who took over the Lancers in April.
The Lancers are scheduled to play tonight at 7 p.m. against Chicago State. CBU will also be in action on Friday against Arkansas Pine Bluff.
