Tyem Freeman became a name to keep an eye on during the 2016-17 season as a member of the Hillcrest Hornets.

With his high-flying dunks, Freeman quickly made himself one of the most coveted recruits in the area as a sophomore.

At the beginning of the 2017-18 season, Freeman is still throwing down powerful jams, but he's wearing different colors.

Instead of Hillcrest blue and orange, he's wearing Parkview green and yellow.
