Class of 2023 C Owen Freeman (IL) Portal to Auburn

[grepal]

Lots of talent “experts” here thought he would have been great and the answer to our prayers.
Georgia’s talent evaluation must have been suspect as well.
Sometimes players just don’t perform well, or expectations are too big

Sometimes it takes a year or two or three.

Sheesh what a get for McDermott

 

[Cusefan69]

No loss. He couldn't hit a three or block the corner three. Double wammy.

Creighton has a lot of NIL money. McDermott is one of the best coaches in the business. Great offense and one of the best with baseline and sideline out of bounds plays. He’s be number one on my list for an opening. I doubt he would ever leave.

That was quick. There’s been a few quick commits which tells me that talks were going on very early. Hopefully, we’ve been back channeling too.

Auburn and Michigan were unwilling to pay $2 million for him.

Keep an eye out here….

What happened to him that he scored nearly 17 at Iowa and barely got off the bench at Creighton?

His advanced stats demonstrate that he was still effective when on the court.

Bad fit? Maybe a William Kyle at UCLA situation

Injury there is a bunch in a couple other threads. If healthy this dude is a beast

Believe it was injury

A solid wildcard add if he returns fully to form could be a steal but is a risk. Probably a risk worth taking

He would be sitting on huge offers like the other coveted bigs if not for that injury. So if he is truly healthy this is another “make the roster better” addition.

Heard he was on campus recently. Don’t know if there is any truth to it but good possibility it’s true.

Can any posters confirm if he's on campus right now? I'd love to write about it, and am hoping for confirmation!

Maybe today actually..

Should I say Syracuse is fortunate to be able to take this risk. The center market is brutal even if you have money, just not a lot of good supply out there.

 

[BEGood]

Will he be healthy?

 

[721Comstock]

Will he be healthy?

Will anyone?

We are all listed as “day-to-day”.

 

[jordoo]

A bit of a gamble but best bang for your buck at the 5 if it pays off. Would think we still need a 3rd center to hedge our bets, someone less proven but with potential.

 

[SU in Hershey]

Will he be healthy?

Will he BEGood, is the real question!

Take the deal!! It’s worth it!
