Olympic High basketball star Allerik Freeman got a scholarship offer from Duke Monday night, Trojans coach Ty Baumgardner said.
Freeman, a 6-foot-3 junior guard, averaged 17.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 steals for Olympic last season, helping the Trojans to a 28-2 record and a second straight N.C. 4A Western Regional appearance. Freeman was the District 9 player of the year, the ME-GA 7 conference player of the year, an Associated Press N.C. All-State pick and the N.C. Preps' N.C. 4A state player of the year.
Freeman is ranked No. 13 nationally by ESPN. He had previously narrowed his college choices to Kansas and Villanova, but his list may be changing now. He also has offers from UCLA and Ohio State.

Duke is a perfect fit!
LOL, how far Dook has fallen! No top 25 recruits. Scraping the bottom for locals. Rat and Dook are finished!
This is too funny! Coach K has 2-3 more years left. Rumor has it, he is done in 2015. I think he's done now. With NC State/UNC/Maryland and Miami...I see Dook coming in about 5th...sad, just sad. Lol...
Who?
Haha, Scraping the bottom?? This article even says that Freeman is ranked 13th nationally by ESPN. What kind of moron makes a statement like that? You guys have no idea what you're talking about. Duke hasn't fallen at all! Just wait and see haters!!
I've personally seen this guy play...pretty good, but not great. Another 3 point shooter for Duke. They'll need him since they have no big men and Dawkins won't be there. Plumlees don't count, because they stink...Lol...
Yes, and even with all their terrible recruits and players, they somehow manage to avoid the NIT. I'll take a team that gets the most out of its talent over one that returns "the best roster ever" and can't even get to the Final Four.
Procton, you sound serious Lehigh.
Freeman is legit and would thrive in the offense that Duke runs. His defense is solid and he plays well in transition. I do find it amusing that #13 nationally is now considered "scraping the bottom of the barrel". Regardless, Freeman is a serious talent that still has a year to mature and work in high school. I hope he decides to bring his talents to Durham.
