Javon Freeman to Valpo
Whitney Young 2018 shooting guard Javon Freeman has committed to Valparaiso while on his official visit. He announced the commitment on his twitter page. He told us why they were his choice.
“Close to home and I love the coaches. We have a good connection.”
Freeman noted that the environment on his official visit this weekend played a huge part in his decision along with how he will be used.
“I will be able to fit in and start.”
Valpo has recruited Chicago hard for years and it continues with this commitment. Assistant coach Emanuel Dildy has ties in the Chicago area and played a factor in this commitment.
Freeman is a slick two guard that transferred over to Whitney Young last season when his previous school Seton closed. He slowly got into rhythm with his squad as the season went along and was a major reason they won a state championship. Freeman is smooth with the rock in his hands and has the ability to get to the rack as well as be a good passer from the wing position.
He played with Meanstreets on the Nike EYBL circuit. Freeman is currently the #7 overall prospect in the 2018 class and #3 shooting guard.
