Owen Freeman Iowa

[bnewt]

This is a guy Kentucky should look at

Sure like the highlights
Looks like he can handle the ball, pass and shoot

 

[NerlensCat]

Not seeing the attraction. Slow footed low-post centric. Appears to be a non-shooter or has just been told not to shoot the three.

If he comes, I will root like hell for him. But hard pass for me otherwise.

I did not know Iowa fired McCaffery today.

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Already two fives in Garrison and Moreno. Need a true 4 and a 4/5.

Could freeman be a replacement for carr?
Hope uk has some interest in the over seas guy. He looks like a good get

He doesn’t appear to be as mobile or shoot as well as Carr. He is probably good rebounder. But looks like a defensive liability.

 

[darkshadesofblue]

If Andrew Carr and Josh Harrellson morphed into one

 

[chasingwildcat]

He already knows where he will go

Someone in other thread says that it may be Creighton

Rumor has it there is a little juice here that he might be transferring to us.

Did he miss enough this season to get a redshirt or will he have just two seasons left?

He blocks 1.8 shots per game, shot 31% on a limited number of threes.

This transfer portal scout tape of Freeman just dropped an hour ago:

This was my thought as well. Needs to be a good defender

I think they have been 4 schools reach out to him. Michigan, Creighton, Arkansas and forget who the other team was.

 

[bnewt]

Think Gonzaga was the other team

 

[TNCatfanforever]

Cats are listed as one of his 5 possible landing spots.

Three back-to-back blocks.

 

[NerlensCat]

Three back-to-back blocks.

I will say he looks quicker and faster in that vid than most. But, he was playing a directional Florida school, not Alabama or Florida.

No he’s a center doesn’t shoot from outside that I’ve viewed uses both hands down low

 

[BlueBloodKyFan73]

Named as the fifth best sophomore in the College Basketball Report. Is he that good? Like his size at 6-10 240. And a true four.

And as of today he’s the top ranked portal player but it’s early so who knows

 

[white10]

I think we need a strong athletic stretch 4 and
a 5 that can keep people honest with strong passing skills.

A consistent threat down low is needed
Amari is a good passer, but not a consistent threat to score down low

 

[trueblujr]

I always worry about players coming off an injury especiall if itfoot ankle or wrist finger related. Nagging injuries seem to never really go away.

Saw someone say that he wanted out and may have used that injury as an excuse to end his season. Implying it probably wasn’t as bad as was let on.

And in popes offense he would open up the 3 for our shooters he has good post moves

Pope plays through the 5. But not through the post. There is a difference.

Traore or Khalifa are not even close to Freeman. Not saying after portal closes he will be best option but right now he is for conversation. BG and MM are not a starting center they are spot minute reserves
