Dana Ford made a good first impression on Missouri State fans Thursday and, apparently, it stuck with the highest-profile recruit in Springfield.
Parkview star Tyem Freeman tweeted Friday morning that he's staying home and committing to MSU.
"First thing's first, I'd like to greatly appreciate God for making me the man I am today," Freeman tweeted.
Freeman continued to thank his coaches and teammates.
