Fair point and I don't mean to diminish the potential of a kid who appears to have a ton of talent. I am just gun shy in terms of expecting him to be the lead dog or one of the two key guys we lean on. That said, I know a coach who worked with him extensively at his previous high school. He expressed a concern about how he might hang defensively in an aggressive man-to-man scenario but was otherwise glowing. Said he came to that program as a kid with some intriguing attributes but has just improved constantly (and apparently continued to improve drastically this past year).

So, yes, Freeman could be huge for us. I think my pessimism is a little bit more global in terms of how we fit together on both sides of the ball and how we approach the game with this particular personnel group. But your critique(s) are fair. He very well may be the difference-maker we're looking for (and Westry, to be fair, could fit into the same category ... just think it's hard to bank on.)
