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

[jordville]

Donnie is on their graphic (in a Cuse uniform) for Player of the Year...

I wouldn't be surprised if Ace is the pick here.

Not too shabby.
I'd be hesitant/skeptical if we were counting on him as our featured scorer. But realistically he'll be option 4 most of the time. Little to no pressure on him as he adjusts to the college game. As long as he rebounds and plays sufficient D, I think he'll thrive.

Good we’re going to need him to be big time so we can get back to where we all want to be.

 

[Lukeyloo]

MAKE HIM A CONSENSUS FIVE STAR, 247SPORTS, YOU COWARDS!

We need those broadcasters to sit down and explain it to a bunch of posters on this board.

yeah but it doesn't count because they're like paid to say that

Now broadcasters have NIL?

 

[Niastri]

Does anybody have any information about how Freeman played in the game?

I watched it, he didnt look great overall in this one. Seemed to struggle with the physicality of others and his shot was off. I had him for 3 points on 1/5 shooting and 1/2 from the line. Hes performed well against the same competition over the past month so its not something I would read too much into. Just an off night.

Time for donnie get I weight rm

I feel like it would be very helpful for the beginning of the Red Autry era if he gets Donnie into the NBA after only one year. He would show blue chip recruits they can be one-and-done here, and also we wouldn't have to worry about him getting a huge NIL offer and transferring for his sophomore year before going to the NBA. We need more Orange in the NBA.

Donnie ranked 6th in final ESPN Rankings

 

[pearl31]

Donnie ranked 6th in final ESPN Rankings

yeah but that's just because ESPN always grossly overrates players coming to SU

 

[OrangeXtreme]

 

[orangefog]

Now the only outlier is 247. They have him at 23 currently. But, I believe they are due for an update.

 

[littlereg]

So espn, the ones we been calling out the most about Donnie’s ranking and perception, now has him highest. Funny world.

Donnie reminds me of a skinnier, slightly less polished Jaren Jackson Jr. at the same stage entering his freshman year at Sparty. JJJ averaged 10.9 pts, 5.8 rebs, & 3 blks in 22 mpg in his lone college season before being knocked out of the tourney by Braedon Bayer & SU . He was drafted #4 overall by Memphis & has become one of the NBA’s bright young stars, being named an All Star & DPOY last season.

They still have Moore outside the top 100, which is crazy.

whatever, it’ll just look better for us when our “random kid ranked outside the top 100” is dropping three balls all over the court
