Overview Moline will be looking to build off an impressive season in 2022. The pair of Iowa commits and AAU teammates Brock Harding and Owen Freeman will play their senior season together for coach Sean Taylor at Moline High School in Moline, Illinois. Owen Freeman announced his transfer from BradleyBourbonnais to Moline early in the summer. Both Harding and Freeman are rated as three-star prospects and top 10 players in the state of Illinois. Player Spotlight Iowa commit Brock Harding is a 6-foot point guard. Though he may be considered as undersized, he is a high profile shooter and talented playmaker with the ball in his hands. He can shoot it off the catch or stop on a dime and pull up from three with ease. Harding is extremely unselfish and consistently makes the right play out of the pick and roll. He is such a difficult cover because of how fast he is. Harding effortlessly puts together an array of crossovers and spin moves on the perimeter to blow by defenders. He's tough and plays bigger than he actually is. Owen Freeman, a 6’10 center, committed to Iowa in October of his junior year. Freeman thrived playing with Harding in the grassroots season and should see the same success during the school season as well. He is a mobile big with solid athleticism and tremendous footwork in the post. Freeman is frequently seen backing down opponents and spinning back baseline for finishes at the rim. He is an improving shooter and could be a legit floor spacer at the next level with added work. With the transfer of Freeman to Moline, that gives Head Coach Sean Taylor and the Maroons two of the top players in the state who have been developing chemistry for some time now. Expect a big year in the Quad Cities from the duo of future Iowa Hawkeyes.
