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

[MikeSU02]

Red is going positionless. He will have some lineups that are going to shock us all

Gives him a lot of flexibility with how he wants to play man D. Can switch everything if he wants. He’ll be able to blitz on pick and roll with an elite player, he’ll be able to have guys that can hedge and recover.

The PG, SG, SF, PF, C lineup has been outdated.

The guys we have coming in this year and next will allow a lot more variability with how we attack on O and D.

Freeman is a huge part of that.

Red and co have done the job so far of getting the guys and making the plan. Biggest mountain to climb is coaching when the ball tips off.

 

[Cuse181]

Sure. You’re an amazing individual.

I've been told that a few times. Im not so sure that you have been though...

Go Donnie!

Go Donnie!

Your daily affirmation in the mirror?

 

[RF2044]

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

Seriously.

 

[kcsu]

Seriously.

I guess i did get over my just a little

I see it this way. If the AA community finds it important to celebrate then it's asinine to ridicule them for it. We aren't yet 60 yrs since the CRM was even passed let alone adopted in certain parts of the country. I do however agree it should be celebrated on merit as well.

Let it be the choice of those it truly matters to. Otherwise just ignore it like we would a million other factoids. It's the foolishness of the negative response that perpetuates the issue more than calling it out.

well said

Thats great

Love it. The evolution of the importance of having a more modern dynamic in the relationship between coaches and players positions us well with how our staff is built. The social media presence, being real and having the ability to have their attention and respect while also talking "with them" not just "to them" is key. I've faulted Hurley a lot for the spaz he is- but he without a doubt proved you can crush it with that model. Glad it seems there is evidence our current staff might be pretty good at this new modern landscape.

Obviously alongside NIL of course.

Red seems to have the IT factor with the kids. What he has done since taking over is exceptional. Off the chart actually. Great call by JW.

Very similar kind of momentum to what you saw with Scheyer.

Except Duke didn’t fall off a cliff for K’s last 6-8 years.

 

[Giants1973]

Just needs to win. Now . Make the 23 big dance. Not a bubble team!!!!

 

[Col. Bleep]

Now get the 7-4 guy and a back-up guard.

Ha...you apparently provided the proper direction.
The coaches nailed it.

We missed out on the 23 dance. Need to make the 24 dance.

Now blow away Duke, North Carolina and Virginia - and Clemson. Thank you.

Was just watching some tape on Donnie, he reminds me a little bit of Keegan and Kris Murray from Iowa.

 

[jordville]
