Recruitment Recap: Syracuse was the first school to offer Freeman years ago after he had a strong performance at an Elite Camp. The Orange has been involved ever since, with other schools ramping up their pursuit as Freeman made a name for himself on the recruiting trail. He took official visits to Iowa and Texas before issuing a top five in December of 2022. That top five included Iowa, LSU, Maryland, Rutgers and Texas. He would subsequently take an official visit to Alabama.
Syracuse was notably absent from that group, but Freeman later clarified his recruitment remained open. Syracuse was able to get back in the mix, spearheaded by the efforts of Adrian Autry, who is now the head coach. The Orange ramped up pursuit and was able to secure an official visit
The Player: Freeman is one of the most sought after forwards in the 2024 recruiting class for good reason. He has size, length and the skill set of a three who plays the four. His ability to score from all three levels. Freeman is extremely athletic, is a great finisher in the open floor, and is a willing defender.
Personal Note: Freeman was born in the Bahamas and moved to the DMV area when he was six years old.
