Creighton scores in portal with ex-Big Ten freshman of year Freeman and high-scoring Graves
Former Iowa forward Owen Freeman, the 2023-24 Big Ten freshman of the year, has signed with Creighton. The 6-foot-10 Freeman averaged 16.7 points and 6.7 rebounds in 19 starts this season for the Hawkeyes before missing the final two months following finger surgery. He shot 63.8% from the field and blocked 35 shots. Freeman has two years of eligibility remaining. 'He is a proven scorer at the high major level and is only scratching the surface in terms of his potential,' Creighton coach Greg McDermott said. 'Our offense will allow his versatility to be on full display. We can't wait to have him in a Bluejay uniform.' The Bluejays also secured a transfer from Nik Graves, a junior guard who averaged 17.5 points per game this season with Charlotte. Also Friday, former Minnesota forward Frank Mitchell signed with St. Bonaventure. Mitchell averaged 4.9 points and 4.7 rebounds for the Golden Gophers this season. He finished with two double-doubles in his last three games with Minnesota. Prior to Minnesota, Mitchell spent a year at Canisius, where he averaged 12.1 points and 11.6 boards. He began his college career at Humber College in Toronto, where he helped lead the Hawks to the 2022 CCAA National Championship and the 2022 OCAA Provincial Championship. He sat out the 2022-23 season under NCAA transfer rules. ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here. AP college basketball: and The Associated Press
