Catching Up with Owen Freeman and Ty Pence
At the NY2LA Lone Star Invitational tourney in Dallas, had a chance to catch up with Owen Freeman. Owen is a 6'10" F from the 16U MidPro Academy team.
Owen is an athletic big man who has worked to develop the ball handling and passing skills that aren't often seen by many 4s and 5s in today's game.
At the same NY2LA Lone Star Invitational tourney in Dallas, also had a chance to catch up with Owen's teammate, Ty Pence. Ty is a 6'6" G for the MidPro Academy 16U team.
Ty is an athletic big guard with hops who has a long range three point shot to go with solid ballhandling skills.
New Illini assistant coach Alexander sees his dreams become reality
"The University of Illinois is my dream job. It's my pinnacle job. It's what I watched growing up. It's what I know. I think it's the best of the best." Alexander says he got the coaching bug after attending the 1991 NCAA championship game in Indianapolis with his dad, when Duke defeated Kansas for the school's first title. He played for his dad at Lincoln and, after two years at a junior college in Iowa, he went to play at Western Illinois, where he would meet an assistant coach who would change his life - a guy named Brad Underwood.
Catching Up with AJ Casey
At the NY2LA Lone Star Invitational tourney in Dallas, I had a chance to catch up with AJ Casey.
Casey is a 6'8" F for the Meanstreets 17U team. Currently, he is ranked #21 by Rivals and #20 by 247 for the 2022 class.
Recently, rumors had it that Casey was willing to look at the Illini after a period of time where he didn't show a lot of interest. After his Meanstreets team played well this weekend, he was kind enough to spare a few minutes to talk basketball with an IlliniGuy.
