SANTA ANA -- The next chapter for Mater Dei point guard Spencer Freedman is all set.
The 6-foot signal caller will take his talents to the East Coast and play for Tommy Amaker at Harvard.
Bottom line: A great pick up for Harvard. A great school for Freedman. A great fit all-around for everyone involved.
Harvard gets a solid, polished hard-working guard who is wicked smart on the court and in the classroom.
Freedman gets to attend one of the most prestigious universities in the world and will develop into an impact player in the Ivy League.
Freedman's journey began in elementary school and really took shape as a top junior high player. Freedman was sought after by several high schools and initially settled on Santa Monica High just steps from the Pacific Ocean for his freshman season.
After a solid ninth-grade year, Freedman opted for national power Mater Dei and has turned in two outstanding seasons, including being named Trinity League player of the year in 2017 and leading the Monarchs to the CIF Southern Section Open Division semifinals.
With his college choice all set, Freedman can now turn all attention to leading Mater Dei to another league championship and hopefully section and state titles.
Freedman will be a load to deal with this year because he has no distractions, college choice is done and he will be throwing the ball to 7-foot-1 prospect Bol Bol and a bevy of top outside shooters.
