2024 Iowa basketball target Donnie Freeman talks upcoming visit to the Hawkeyes
The Iowa Hawkeyes are heavily in the mix for one of the best players in the 2024 class. Donnie Freeman, a five-star power forward recruit in the 247Sports composite rankings, caught up with Rutgers Wire to review his unofficial visit with the Scarlet Knights and to discuss his upcoming official visit to Iowa in September.
“Coach (Fran) McCaffery is very active with talking to me,” Freeman said of his relationship with Iowa. “He really likes how I can impact the game in many ways and he loves my longterm potential.”
That relationship should only improve after the September visit.
“(It’s) good and getting better,” Freeman said. “I’m building a good relationship with coach (Fran) McCaffery and the staff.”
According to the 247Sports composite, Freeman is the nation’s No. 25 player, the No. 4 power forward and the No. 1 player from Washington, D.C. In the 247Sports ratings, Freeman is a four-star power forward, the No. 33 player nationally, the No. 4 power forward and the top player from D.C.
Meanwhile, ESPN rates Freeman as the No. 20 player overall, the No. 2 power forward and the top player from D.C. Rivals ranks Freeman as the No. 24 player nationally, while On3 lists Freeman as the No. 42 player overall, the No. 10 power forward and the top player from D.C.
Iowa offered Freeman on Aug. 16 and the 6-foot-8, 190 pound power forward out of St. John’s High School is already planning a Sept. 15 visit. In addition to his Iowa offer, Freeman also holds offers from Bryant, George Mason, Georgetown, Marquette, Maryland, Old Dominion, Rutgers, Syracuse, Texas, Virginia Tech and Xavier.
