Donnie Freeman transferring to St Johns

[Orangezoo]

The NY Post article is behind their NYPost+ firewall but it came up available on my Google newsfeed on my phone. A few comments by Donnie included -
- He knows Pitino is going to be tough and not cut him any slack. Says he wants that to make him better.
- He wants to play in meaningful games that they win. Before college he'd never been anywhere where he didn't win. Wants to get back to that.

I'll let others interpret how that reflects on his time at Syracuse.

Professional response. He wanted to move on. When he left we had basically just a few players and nothing locked in.

Money played the factor here it’s just every kid is being coached to leave that out of the interviews. The winning part would more be a shot at UK than us.

Sadly he missed over 2 seasons, almost half the games (37/65). Hopefully for St John’s he stays injury free and fully available for Pitino to push hard.
