Class of 2023 C Owen Freeman (IL) Portal from Creighton

[OttoinGrotto]

I like the stat because it's sort of encompassing of everything like WAR in baseball. Both stats aren't perfect but it's a decent way to measure overall value of a player.

Counterpoint - WAR, what is it good for?

Isaac Traut was not better than Freeman. That guy stinks. Again, Creighton was awful. The perimeter guys were particulary bad.

Isaac Traudt is horrible on defense, agree 100%. He is an above average 3 point shooter, outstanding three point shooter at home. Creighton was terrible as a team on defense except for DIx the Iowa transfer who was by far the best player on the team. The Center was Green who is 6’7” but was scrappy despite being overmatched but it was the only option. Inside guys were worse than perimeter this year.

I'm sorry. Can you say it again?

Great comparison.

I will say this, it would be nice knowing that more big time programs were after him. Butvth wen the price would higher too

Haven’t really seen him connected to anyone except Auburn, us and STL. I feel like if STL really wants him they’ll get him but he could very well be there for the taking for Syracuse.

I have heard what we have offered him. It is a lot.

I don't get it but he better be back to how he played at Iowa.

This will be his last meal ticket before overseas….

So safe to say we don’t share OmahaCuse’s opinion of him.

For the record mine is not a opinion either way it ends up I’ll clearly continue to support $ both programs.

I would be fine with him. At Iowa he scored in double figures every game he played, shot 60% and averaged 6.5 rebounds. His season ended late January due to injury. He would be more than serviceable as center and give us an option to play 15 minutes a game (and more if he earned it). I trust in Gerry and trust in the team he is building. Effort will be demanded and is no negotiable.
Cuse!

Well, like, that's your opinion, man.

Our staff clearly has another opinion and that's why we are in heavy pursuit.

I watched the shortened game of Iowa State vs Creighton. I gather Freeman was at somewhere close to 75 percent healthy. He clearly was favoring his leg, but still played and was effective in his minutes.

Based on the one game I’m not seeing where he’s unplayable. Lots of tape of Jasen Green getting cooked by Joshua Jefferson. The Creighton perimeter guys really struggled on defense.

Freeman scored 9 points, with 2 rebounds, 2 assists and a block in just 23 minutes. They were worse with him on the bench. Looks like he has an extremely soft touch and a nice little hook shot. The lift clearly wasn’t there with the leg, but he was never out of position. There was more opportunity to get him the ball, but the Creighton perimeter players spent a lot of time chucking.

Going to see if I can find more tape, but there’s definitely talent to work with if he’s healthy. Syracuse will have much better defenders at the 1-4 positions than Creighton had this past year.

Oye, I’m deep into Creighton tape and two thoughts I have are Dix is a gunner and Green can’t guard 4’s let alone centers.
