Roster & Needs As Of April 14...

[djorange1989]

I want either the name or a detailed wingspan analysis.

I will patiently wait for either.

I don’t have the wingspan handy but his name rhymes with Goin Dreamin

 

[djorange1989]

Do you know who I am referring to?

I believe I do, sir

 

[Scotch]

I believe I do, sir

Are you happy about it? Should I be as well?

 

[Newhouser]

I corrected he is 6-10 and 240 There of course is a wrinkle but the facts are accurate.

I thought Caleb Wilson declared for the draft?

 

[BEGood]

I believe I do, sir

Who?

 

[Cusefan0307]

Owen Freeman

 

[TheHaze315]

He was really good at Iowa, do not know what happened at Creighton.

 

[sufan59]

This roster does not give me "top of ACC" vibes...

I feel like we need more athletes.

One guy from the portal I would be interested in is that Donnie Freeman character. I heard he played with a bad PG last year that dragged him down.

Is it possible he could take a look at Cuse? I heard his father was a big Syracuse fan...

Going into last season with both Donnie and Sadiq was in retrospect major mismanagement of the roster. I’m assuming it happened because they thought Donnie would be one and done.

 

[Newhouser]

Assuming the wrinkle is an injury or eligibility but the only big I can think of who scored like that before getting injured was that kid from the Zags and why would he leave there?

 

[Cusefan0307]

NOOOOOOO

 

[Cusefan0307]

NOOOOOOO

Outside of being injured what is the concern? His numbers are elite when healthy.

First time chatter (so I know many won’t believe me), but I have a few nuggets to share that I believe a couple of other chatters likely could also confirm as well.

(1). Owen Freeman - Has actually been on campus very recently for a visit. Serious health questions stemming from an injury playing pickup basketball last year. Staff wants more clear answers to abt his last year and thus brought him in for a visit. But, I believe there is huge interest from us. If medicals check out could be an absolutely massive get.

(2). Alex Wilkins - Very unlikely. Kentucky trying hard to convince him of a 6th man/bench scoring role. But we are clearly not in the lead here, and that is likely due to blue blood interest, but also our choice as well.

(3). There will be two centers brought in. One more offensive minded big and another more developmental, athletic, defensive minded one. I know for a fact we are targeting Freeman but another SEC school is trying hard there as well.

(4). NIL - We are in a decent spot. I was told to expect around $10.5 mil with the potential to exceed to $11.5 mil for the right player.

This is what I know at the moment. Obvious things can change quick but this is current info at this moment.

And we still get to have a tall guy named Freeman. Gives some sort of continuity in this ludicrous world of minor league sports.

May be the best we can get and still this guy is very wanted by Auburn I think specifically. I’ve said this a few times, it’s not money, it’s tough competition against programs with a more established program of developing bigs within the last 5 years.

 

[General20]

Don't want to speak for him, but judging from his name Im guessing he wants Freeman to stay at Creighton and SU to get some other good big.

Did he re-aggravate the injury this past year. Looks like he was having a really good sophomore year at Iowa. Then seemed to start the season pretty well at Creighton. Then fell off a cliff right around calendar year 2026.

Had a serious injury in the summer of 2025. Tore something, not specifically known. He wasn’t officially cleared until very close to the start of the past season. He also sustained an injury that sidelined him his sophomore year as well.

Have to trust the staff to do their due diligence on the injuries. But if he’s healthy, he can be a monster in the paint for us.

Welcome!

Glad the number maybe creeping up from 10.

This passes the smell test and I believe you. Welcome!

Sophomore year injury was just a broken finger. Freak injury that happens. Originally was suppose to be out 4-6 weeks with his knee. I suspect he tore his meniscus.

Wow grateful for your insight! Any chatter on the Hudson Mayes kid?

If healthy this kid is a beast. It’s almost always 10-12 months before you truly recover from the knee and start getting back into form.

 

[cusefan88]

Freeman and Riley Mulvey were briefly teammates at Iowa so I'm sure he has the scoop on playing for Gmac (and AO + Lee).

 

[SUtoga]

Not much on Mayes tbh. He took a visit to New Mexico actually. I assume he'll be given a starting spot there, and obviously won't here. But I believe the staff does like him.
