Ron Freeman received some nice gifts on his 19th birthday Tuesday, but the best present came from Kansas State basketball coach Bruce Weber.
Freeman received a call from Weber offering a basketball scholarship, and he didn’t hesitate in accepting to complete the Wildcats’ 2015 recruiting class.
“It’s a great day, a great day,” Freeman said in a telephone interview from a Chicago airport while en route to New York to visit family. “It’s the best birthday present I could get.”
Freeman is a 6-foot-5, 172-pound wing from Los Angeles. He attended Junipero Serra High School in Gardena, graduating in 2014, and signed to play at Cal State Fullerton.
