Class of 2024 PF Donnie Freeman (MD / IMG) COMMITTED & SIGNED TO SYRACUSE (5/11/23)

[CA Monk]

It's still moving!

 

[Jasoncuse]

“The staff wants to get back to the tradition Syracuse has had in the past,” he said. “They told me they will be dropping out of the zone and we’ll see more man principles. This style of play fits me perfectly because I get to show my athleticism, agility and things like that. No knock on the zone but man will help me showcase my game better.”

Glad somebody was blunt enough to say it!

 

[OrlandoCuse]

This made my month...and I was already having a pretty good month

 

[JKinUtah]

'Bama fans right now probably talking about how they'll just snatch him from the portal next spring

 

[BillSU]

WAY TO GO RED!

 

[MGraves5]

Step 1 Complete.
Step 2: Keeping him committed until he is on campus in 2 years..

 

[kcsu]

Red kicks Oats arse!!!!

 

[kcsu]

Way to go coach!!

 

[rocklloyd]

Mostly, his songs were more ...raunchy...and played for comedic effect.

Like ”what’s your fantasy?”

 

[kcsu]

Big get for Cuse. Red is gonna be all over the DMV

Red has the work ethic, the credentials, and the IT factor. This is a massive win for Syracuse.

 

[kcsu]

Woot!

A strong assist to JB for recruiting Red and landing him when he was all world coming out of Harlem and knowing that he would make a great coach. Im really happy for Red JB and JW for making the right call.

I know your being silly, but next spring he will be prepping for the draft

I wonder how JB feels about a quote like that. It had to be said and it's damaging to his regime. I too am glad a big recruit said it.

”He can Shoot. He can rebound.”

HE CAN REBOUND. What a plus in a player!!!

What is this “rebound” term you speak of

 

[Bulldog04]

I declared on this board that the Red hire was going to be a great one because of who he is and how hard he works. This is the proof of that….Let’s freaking Goooo

 

[RF2044]

Kid has a REALLY nice left hand.

[Gotothehole]

Great news let’s gooo

 

[CardiacCuse]

I cringe at thinking how much all zone lost recruits over the last decade lol. Welcome Donnie! Great job by staff

me too...no desire to diss JB now that he's gone...

but with the way recruits are now flocking back to the Orange, seems pretty clear there was a mismatch in what the program wanted to do and what recruits were/are looking for...

the "system", as JB ran it, got pretty frustrating towards the end of his tenure...even if only because it kept talent away from the team...(and that wasnt all, either)

Ye'sir

 

[Motensocks]

Is it just me, or did Donnie barely catch himself looking toward the Cuse cap twice before unzipping his sweatshirt?

No, next spring he will be packing to come to the hill.

Class of 24

 

[Shenexon]

Congratulations to the Freemans, the coaches, and the fans. Sustained hope requires days like today. Now it's your turn, Mr. McLeod. Another day or two like today and we can hope to be competitive sooner than later...

No, next spring he will be packing to come to the hill.
