Elite class of 2024 forward Donnie Freeman has officially signed with Syracuse basketball. The 6-9, 200 pounder had been committed to the Orange since May, but made it official when he put pen to paper on Wednesday during the early signing period. Fellow class of 2024 commit Elijah Moore is expected to sign this weekend.

Freeman is rated a four star prospect by all four major recruiting services (247Sports, ESPN, On3 and Rivals). He is ranked a top 30 prospect by 247Sports and On3, coming in at 20th per On3. ESPN ranked him 38th while Rivals has him 51st.

During the 2022-23 season at St. John's College High, Freeman averaged 21 points and 8.5 rebounds per game. He led St. John's to the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference (WCAC) championship. He was also named First Team All WCAC, First Team All DC and First Team All Met. Freeman transferred to IMG Academy for his senior season.

During AAU ball this summer, Freeman averaged 10.5 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 blocks in just 20 minutes per game during the EYBL regular season while shooting 55% from the floor. He capped that off by leading Team Takeover to the Peach Jam Championship, earning All Peach Jam First Team honors along the way.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. 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. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
