One of the top forwards in the 2024 class, Donnie Freeman, will officially visit Syracuse basketball April 6th through the 8th, he tells All Syracuse. This follows head coach Adrian Autry visiting Freeman at his school last week. 

A 6-9 forward, who is a four star prospect and considered a top 30 or top 40 player this cycle, Freeman averaged 21.0 points, 8.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game during his junior season at St. John's College High in Washington (D.C.). 

"He said he wants to be versatile on offense," Freeman said. "He feels like that fits my game. Defense, they're no longer going to run just the 2-3 zone that they're known for. They're going to deviate from that and go to man. Change the principles up a little bit. But he might, according to his words, switch to it sometimes but their primary defense will be man to man."

The fact that Autry scheduled an in person meeting shortly after becoming the head coach at Syracuse left an impression on Freeman.

"It means a lot," Freeman said. "They've been recruiting me since the eighth grade, himself and the Syracuse program. They're making the full court press on me now because it's prime time for players to be making their college decision."

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting.  EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
