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

[sconniecuse]

Don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but let's wait and see him officially get on campus.

For Christ’s sake, the level of pessimism of some posters on this board is astounding, it’s been less than 24 hours since Freeman committed and you’re bringing up the potential for a decommitment. I realize we have had some lousy luck over the last few years in recruiting but allow us to enjoy some good news for a change.

Stop it. This isn’t Dior or Lands (who had not even visited). Enjoy this huge recruiting win.

Stop what? It happens. The Football board melted down over Lanorris Sellers over the same exact thing.

It is CNY glass is always half empty

This is a nice summary, thanks. Do you think he is a 3 in that he can play alongside a more traditional 4?

He might be that rarest of players who has the size to play the traditional 4 but also the skills to stay on the perimeter. He made a couple "point forward" type passes to cutters from the top of the key that stood out in particular.

It'll only be the same exact thing if he flips on signing day.

It is CNY glass is always half empty cracked and won’t hold water.

FIFY

fisrt time watching his vids...he looks pretty "NBA-ish" from what I can tell...that size and athleticism combined with the soft hands is rare and elite.

Bazley. When he went to the game, he was a Cuse commit. When he left, he wasn't.

I only considered those who have played at least 1 minute in the Syracuse uniform. JJ will be the next once he plays in a game.

Bazley. When he went to the game, he was a Cuse commit. When he left, he wasn't.

I wondered how he's done. He made a million form his internship and has made $7 millions more in the NBA. So, if he's invested it well, he's doing OK. Would NIL have made a difference? Imagine if we gave Benny a high six figures in NIL and he played like he's played for most of the first two years?

Football is not basketball.

Decommitments will come from teams that recruit over guys. We won't recruit over Donnie. This one is banked. Have a drink, have a laugh and enjoy his highlights because this kid is the real deal and will wear orange. I'll wager on it

This is nice.
Kid has a motor, skills, size, intensity, and he’s the alpha.

Love how he was The Man down the stretch of this game:



As reported, a great frame. He’ll be an NBA player. Really cool, this turnaround in excitement and potential. Go, Red.

Very smart too, seems like he’s always in the right spot and always making the right play. Love his game, love Red, LGO!

Oh yeah, Bazley, another Winfred Walton.

My favorite part of this is we’re not worrying about which coach had which recruit. They’re all grinding. I get that certain coaches are point and that’s incredibly important, but it’s nice to see this coaching group crush recruiting together.

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

Question BD, If Red does well at the college level do you think that he will be offered an NBA job. He seems to have the demeanor and credentials that would lend themselves to the pros

Let him win at least one game at SU as HC before proclaiming him NBA material

Maybe he’ll go to USC with Dino.

Once more for the cheap seats:

 

[SWC75]

How many FBS schools have African Americans as their head coach in both major revenue sports?

You misunderstood my question.

Im thinking more east coast for Red, hes more NY NY than Ohana

 

[SUFan44]

You misunderstood my question.

And you misunderstood my smilie face.

I believe it’s just SU and Penn State.
