Zach Freemantle and the National All Stars take it on the chin against the DC area Capital All Stars in the Capital Classic last night. Game had a distinct Big East flavor with 5 guys competing. Nova signee Justin Moore and newly committed Qudas Wahab of Georgetown massively impressive in the blowout. Lots of ZFree also. He shows off his versatility but you will notice some unusual body language. Backed off of contact on several occasions and didn’t seem to want to run the floor at full bore.....but hey, it’s an All Star game. We will see a far more passionate player in the fall.President of the Eddie Johnson Fan Club

Freemantle definitely moves like a 5.

I'm sure the stories would get even better after a few cold ones at Dana's, so consider me in boys, just gotta let me know when and hopefully I'm close enough stateside!!
Definitely not the most mobile, but I do like the mean streak he adds, I'm sure a conditioning program will do wonders to help, but I don't think anybody in this class is completely polished and all of them have some stuff to work on.

Oh I am a big believer in ZFree, and obviously that was just an all-star game. He's got a lot of really good tape out there. Like you said, nasty streak, and pretty decently skilled. I'm just firmly in the camp that he will get a great majority (75%+) of his minutes at the 5, not the 4. He is a post player with at least a little bit of range out to three, but he's just not a 4 naturally. If X thought he was, I don't think they would be going after Ben Carlson as hard as they have.

Ahh okay gotcha, yeah I definitely echo those thoughts, but I think he can be a very productive 5, even if he can spell Jones for a little bit next year, it'll be a massive help. I'm interested to see how all of the new pieces are going to fit into the roster, and who's going to be in the rotation, but lord knows we need him to be able to contribute in a back up role just because our front court depth is a point of question.

I read that X has offered former Trinity HS and current John Logan JC star Jayden Scrubb. Scored 19 ppg with an impressive 46% from distance. When was the last time we signed a Junior College guy?
