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

Hopefully GMac doesn't have all his eggs in one basket. Clock is ticking and you don't wait for a guy to decide while the market your shopping gets smaller daily. I hope he has 3 offers out to centers. Whomever accepts great.

I’m sure they aren’t waiting around forever or avoiding adding more targets and trying to reel them in. Im just hoping it happens quietly as they intended when looking at Freeman.

He definitely isn’t banking on one guy. Probably has feelers out for multiple guys.
 
Not every kid that goes on a visit ends up being a take. He’s not the only big they are looking at.
I know that happens a lot on the football side where kids visit, but they aren’t a take. I guess I would have thought if GMac invites a kid to visit, the likelihood he is a take is much higher. I feel like a read more about Zoom calls on the basketball side. Smaller budget than football so I figured that’s probably why in addition it’s still a way to get to know a kid without the expenses of a visit.
 
Midrange garage 🤣
We need midrange a ton. I want a guy who can hit 10’ with ease. Opens up downlow and outside. We don’t need to be a three chucking machine like last year. We need to start games looking inside then out after you have made a few. I learned this in 8 grade basketball when my coach told me to wrestle as I fouled out for 3 game in row in like 5 min. He worked for SU and use to wear the old skinny converse sneaks. Mr. Clinton. Great guy who wasn’t wrong lol

Yeah, I doubt GMac would do that. He had a front row seat to some blunders when Boeheim did this. Remember Quade Green? Gerry was intimately involved in that one and I'm sure learned never to be in that position again.

This was the one thing who some of us who had doubts about gmac. Closing on guys. Hopefully he can this time.

Given that Freeman was never their first option, the eggs are definitely not all in one basket…

Did I miss their first center target? I believe he’s the only one they’ve been connected to publicly?

Freeman is not from a city or a city environment and has played at two schools that aren’t your traditional city like feel. Auburn is similar. Syracuse isn’t huge but you know and feel like you live in the city being around campus. As someone farm and country raised I loved my time on the hill but it was an adjustment. Freeman had an Iowa teammate come with him to Creighton. Thus I can see the culture shock factor at play here too as he is trying to decide.

I hope so. Have not heard from the board about any other visits regarding bigs. Certainly GMac went silent mode for the international adds which makes a ton of sense. Maybe there is another but again the clock is ticking and everyone is pursuing bigs.

Thats an interesting perspective. I found Syracuse to be its own little world, removed from a city. I hardly ever left the confines of the campus and Marshall Street. Thats why I loved my time at SU.

All very fair points but then the question is if you dont land him is why was he one of our big targets if this was the case?

I sort of fell into spending time in the city having spent my freshman year in B/B and working my whole time there both on and off campus. Having been to Iowa U and Omaha I found them very much like a big town compared to the city feel of SU.

You don’t target a kid because you aren’t sure about personal preferences he might not disclose to the world. It’s not about being a mind reader sheesh. I’m simply stating when Auburn had interest that factor “could” be in play. Don’t jump the shark on my comment.
 
Im all aboard the freeman train, but it seems like if we dont get him the drop off is huge.
Within America, yes. There really isn’t a lot of supply in the first place for that kind of center to begin with that is somewhat along in their development. Especially now in the modern day basketball era. Maybe there is someone else internationally that fits this mold or they’ll have to adjust their strategy on how they want to play a bit.

He played at Iowa and creighton, its just simple intel. Im not jumping you or anyone.
