In this story:

Elite class of 2024 forward Donnie Freeman cut his list to five in early December. Those five were Iowa, LSU, Maryland, Rutgers and Texas. However, on December 30th, he announce his recruitment remained wide open. Since that time, Syracuse has ramped up its pursuit, Freeman told All Syracuse. 

"Syracuse has been very aggressive recruiting me," Freeman said. "We are discussing a date for an official visit." 

Nothing has been set in stone, but Freeman said he and the Orange are looking at some time in February for that potential official visit. 

"Excited for what the future holds and what they have in store," Freeman said. 

Freeman is a 6-9 versatile forward who is a consensus top 50 recruit and is ranked in the top 40 by Rivals, On3 and ESPN. 247Sports is the outlier at 43rd in the 2024 class. Rivals has Freeman ranked the highest at 27. He stars for St. John's College High School in Washington (D.C.) for high school ball and Team Takeover for AAU ball. 

Syracuse offered Freeman in August of 2021 following an Elite Camp performance. 

"It was after we got finished with the camp," Freeman said at the time. "Coach Boeheim walked up to me, said he loves my game and my high IQ. He said 'congrats you just received an offer from Syracuse.' I was extremely excited because growing up I loved Syracuse."

Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans.  After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years.  Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports.  Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more.
