SoCal RB on the verge of offers
Running back David Freeman (5-9, 185, 4.4) from Inglewood, Calif., is about to burst into the consciousness of west coast recruitneks as he's about to get his first written offer while it appears more be getting to jump into the water and offer him a scholie.
"Washington Husky assistant coach Trent Miles told me that the Huskies are going to offer David," Inglewood coach Charles Mincy said. "There are a bunch of other schools looking at him.

"Stanford, Arizona State and Oregon State are all showing a lot of interest. Cal is also showing a lot of interest and visited our campus."
Regarding the Cardinal of Stanford there have been rumors that they have offered Freeman, but that has not been verified.
Freeman mainly plays running back for Inglewood, but when the situation calls for it they will play him at corner. Mincy doesn't like to because Freeman is really aggressive and loves contact. Inglewood can't afford to get him hurt that is why his plays on defense are limited.
As a junior, Freeman rushed for just under 1,600 yards and scored 21 rushing touchdowns. He's a good receiver who hauled in 10 receptions even though the quarterback had trouble getting him the ball.
Once he catches the ball out of the backfield, Freeman knows what to do with the ball as can make plays as a receiver.
"David is physically strong and fast," Mincy said. "He can finish runs by making contact or by using his speed running away from defenders.
"David is a stubborn kid who refuses to go down," Mincy said. "Though he's a smaller back, we have no problem running him on short yardage situations. He's a very strong runner between the tackles.
"David is an extremely smart football player," Mincy said. "He picks things up quickly. We don't have to worry about David picking up things like pass blocking schemes.
"Like I said, David is a very aggressive player who will for us," Mincy said. "He's a real physical player on both sides of the football."
Freeman is also a standout in track and participates in the 100 and the 200. His best time in the 100 is about 10.8.
