Rivals: 4*


Tennessee has offered along with Vanderbilt and Notre Dame, limited info on Freeman but he's a stretch 4 who's considered a top 100 player by those who have seen him.

I always liked Kiwis.

One name that recently came across Scout.com’s desk is New Zealand native Matt Freeman, a 6-foot-10, 220-pound power forward .

 

[CAVol]

The game is moving towards stretch 4s. Would love to have one.

Sure enough, having a good stretch 4 is always handy.

Has a nice day at Adidas Nations.

He strikes me as very fundamental. I really like the skillset.

Obviously, I could be wrong, but if I'm not mistaken I believe we've back off all these guys with the new staff.

Not being recruited by this staff

Interesting. He was one of the teammates of UK commit Tai Wynyard at the 3v3 U18 Worlds. I doubt UK recruits heavily though.

Freeman among most productive at Adidas Nations.

He's a top 75, quite possibly top 50 player IMO.

He's a top 75, quite possibly top 50 player IMO.

You feel we have a good chance with him and will we get a visit?

Could be the best player Tennessee is recruiting this cycle .

Hmmm...weird. Maybe it's on my end. The link says "sorry, the page does not exist" when I open the link.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

I like his idea of the game, but he needs to work on his shot a little, and step up his defense.

 

[dbrasner]

You have to remove the " at the end of the link

I feel Tennessee has a very good chance with him and is almost certain to get a visit from him at this point.

Quite possible

Lmao evidence of this being his recent showing at Adidas Nations where he faced the best players his age range in the world?

@THicksBH: 2016 F Matt Freeman w/ a great week to close out the summer in Cali. Averaged 17.8 pts (60% FG, 48% 3PT), 3.3 rbs, 1.5 asts in 23.3 mpg.

@TheRecruitScoop: Really like the intangibles & all-around game of Matt Freeman. Tough, active defender who can spot up and shoot the ball. #AdidasNations

Quite possibly the favorite, Vandy/Butler/Notre Dame all involved also. This staff has been on him since their Texas days though so they definitely have a long relationship with both him and his New Zealand coaches.
