OU committ Matt freeman

Great read and videoclip, CoachTalk!

The international publicity and attention the Sooners are getting with this commitment can't possibly be gauged in dollars and cents. Who knows, it could be the start of a Down Under pipeline to OU. That alone would be worth far more than we could ever hope for. The number of quality players New Zealand and Australia are producing appears to be increasing the past few years.

It's also nice to know Steven Adams had a hand in recruiting our newest commit. Thanks, Steven!
 
I agree. First, it was a good video clip that coachtalk found of Freeman. I liked his ball handling for a big man. Secondly, it looked to me in the 3x3 clip that he was reasonably athletic. I remember last spring when we saw clips of Joey Brunk, there were some comments about him playing below the rim. Freeman has better hops and range than Brunk.

I think he will be a good complement to Lattin, Manyang, and McNeace in 2016-2017. After hearing the comments about Steven Adams, it assured me is very solid to OU. Great addition.

I was definitely one of those people. Brunk just worried me about what would happen when he started playing top D1 athletes at the Big 12 level. Freeman doesn't do much above the rim now, but he is rail thin and has obviously focused on his game away from the rim. I could see him filling out, gaining more muscle and definitely being able to be a lot more above the rim than he's doing now.
 
Brunk is a true five-man Freeman is a true stretch for an oversize small forward. I don't think he's doing a lot back to the basket
 
If you want to play fast with athletes you got to have shooters to open the lanes. I love this pick up more and more, Freeman will be able to pull out big men from the basket. Even though he's not overly athletic compared to other Kruger recruits, his skill set is vital to the transition game.
 
Top 40-50 recruit. Good enough for the girl I go with!
 
Maybe with a couple more good seasons we can start going after the Nick Thompsons again.
 
A top 50 recruit, 4 star commit, and people STILL find a way to complain! Goodness gracious!
 
Completely df players. But I didn't think you were negative.

Great addition.

Not comparing the players I just wasn't heartbroken about Brunk. I think Freeman fits better with the upcoming talent. Knockdown shooting big man will open the doors for mcgusty, James, Odomes, & Buford to wreak havoc driving the lanes. Just need a top notch floor general now.

True. I think we find a PG.

A scoring PG is going to miss too many assist opportunities with this group. You're right, we definitely need a pass first guy. CLK will always want guys who can score but, with the caliber of guys he's bringing in, moving the ball is going to be SO important to spread around the looks. I love this guy bc he's looks like a willing screener and driver but also looks like a knock down jump shooter. Perfect compliment to what CLK has brought in to this point.
