Freeman, a 6-9 forward who plays for St. John's College High in Washington (DC), is rated a four star prospect by all four major recruiting services (247Sports, ESPN, On3 and Rivals). He is ranked a top 35 prospect by 247Sports, ESPN and On3, but ranked 54th by Rivals.
During the 2022-23 season at St. John's College High, Freeman averaged 21 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. He led the EYBL session this past weekend in blocked shots and was named to the session's All Defensive Team.
"The visit was pretty straightforward," Freeman said after the visit. "They got straight to the point. Down there, it was strictly about business. Having good conversations, honest conversations. That's really what meant the most to me was how straightforward it was. Syracuse was really blatant about what they wanted to do with me in that class and I really liked that."
Freeman joins sharpshooting guard Elijah Moore in Syracuse's 2024 recruiting class, which is off to a great start under head coach Adrian Autry.
