Alabama has already begun recruiting for the 2024 recruiting cycle. One recruit that is receiving high interest from the staff is 2024 power forward Donnie Freeman.
Freeman is one of the eight power forwards that the coaching staff has extended offers to thus far. Alabama has seen recent success at the power forward position with players like Herb Jones, Alex Reese and Donta Hall all having great careers in Tuscaloosa. When Freeman spoke with On3’s Jamie Shaw about his skillset, here is what he had to say:
“I try to be as versatile as possible,” Freeman told On3. “I can rebound, guard the best player, handle the ball. I’m trying to do as much as I can on the court and always getting better. I watch a lot of Scottie Barnes and Paul George; they are always playing hard. I feel that motor and the versatility differentiate me in this class.”
Coach Oats and the rest of the coaching staff have done a phenomenal job in recent years of recruiting players that fit the Tide’s style of play. Freeman certainly appears to fit the profile.
When Freeman was asked about Alabama and their recruiting efforts, here is what he said:
“I really like Coach (Nate) Oats. They tell me how much they like my potential and my skill set and frame. I haven’t watched them play much yet, but I want to learn more about them.”
