A new county. A new city. A new school.

It looks like Spencer Freedman has found a home.

The 6 foot smooth handling, smooth shooting point guard is settling in at Mater Dei after transferring from Santa Monica.

Freedman, who has offers from USC, UC Santa Barbara and CSUN, is adjusting well to his new digs and couldn't be happier.

"It's a really great place and a really great atmosphere," Freedman said. "I am really happy with my decision."

Not that Freedman disliked Santa Monica.

"Santa Monica was great and I wish those guys all the luck in the world," Freedman said. "I just felt this was a better place for me for everything. I have no regrets. I'm excited about what lays ahead."

Freedman is ready to take over the point guard duties for the state Open Division runner-up.

"I just want to fit in as a leader, as a guy who makes others better, a guy that can help bring out the best in other players," Freedman said. 

Freedman is enjoying the school, academic life and basketball.

"I am really looking forward to our national schedule and all the travel," Freedman said. 'It's going to be a lot of fun."

Freedman burst onto the scene as a highly-regarded middle school phenom several years ago and didn't disappoint his freshman year at Santa Monica.

Freedman showed outstanding leadership qualities and a penchant for passing last year.

Freedman's general court awareness and ability to create and penetrate separate himself from his peers.

Freedman's shooting isn't bad, either.

His smooth stroke all the way out to the 3-point line makes him a tough defensive matchup.

Freedman still knows there is a lot of work to do.

"I know I need to get better at everything," Freedman said. "It's all about the small details. I need to make steady improvement."

Freedman knows with hard work that more offers will pour in.

"I am totally open to any school right now," Freedman said. "I definitely want to go to a school with good academics, a school I can play for sooner than later and a school with a program that fits my style."

Freedman should have no trouble garnering more attention this year playing with the likes of M.J. Cage, Harrison Butler, Reagan Lundeen, Michael Wang and a host of other top Division I prospects.
