Kentucky’s visit list for this week is growing rapidly, and now you can add a big-time transfer to the list. With BYU’s Rob Wright and the No. 1 prospect in 2026 Tyran Stokes visiting on Monday and Colgate’s Jalen Cox visiting later in the week, now, Syracuse forward Donnie Freeman is set to visit Lexington as well. He will begin his visit on Tuesday, according to Jeff Goodman.
We already know who Kentucky is prioritizing at the PG spot, with both Zoom Diallo and Rob Wright being the talking point, but with the frontcourt, Freeman is seen as their most prioritized big man and for good reason. Last season with the Orange, the 6-9 forward averaged 16.5 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game. Freeman is also eying other visits, as UConn and Alabama could also host him this week. Those are the top contenders right now, but Kentucky has plenty of momentum with the 6-9 forward.
Freeman was a former five-star as a high school recruit and now he is a top 15 overall transfer in the portal. The 6-9 forward is a double-double machine, as not only is he a tenacious rebounder, but he can put up points in bunches. Freeman notched eight 20+-point games last season with Syracuse, a team that struggled for much of the year, which forced him to have a huge responsibility to produce. The other good thing about Freeman is that he is a capable shooter, and in Mark Pope’s system, he can really grow that area of his game…
