Earlier this year, in the month between when N.C. State fired coach Mark Gottfried and hired Kevin Keatts to replace him, Lennard Freeman’s basketball career stood at a crossroads.
The Wolfpack forward, who was in his third season at N.C. State at the time, was sitting out the season with a leg injury. His highly touted team was struggling to a 15-17 record while going 15-17 in the ACC.
That underwhelming performance cost Gottfried his job on Feb. 18, before the regular season was over.
Freeman thought about his future and admitted Wednesday he considered finishing his career at another school.
