2017 SF Brian "Tugs" Bowen (South Carolina Commit)

[jays911]

Both his parents were in. From Saginaw, Preston's home town. Word is Mom and son loved the experience.

Thanks for the info 911. Man I hope this happens. Tugs would look great in Bluejay Blue! Go Jays!

Haven't heard much on him lately. Playing against Ty-Shon on ESPN right now. I really hope we have a shot, he's a stud.

Do we even have an offer in on him? He's getting visits from Izzo and Calipari so I'm not holding my breath. Would be a huge get and we would definitely be a top 10 recruiting class in '17 if we landed him. Maybe he loved his visit though. Who knows?

Brian was offered by CU last May and I think we have a very good chance to land him. Go Jays!

I think Eye was the only person who didn't know we offered him. But, why do you personally believe we have a "very good chance"?

It seems every recruit that comes on campus loves their experience. Am I missing something? Really have to give credit to both the staff and the players for creating a welcoming environment.

This guy would be a game changer based off his mixtapes. Wow, its just crazy. We got a visit and great feedback from a recruit who is coveted by Calipari. On one hand its great to get our foot in the door with these players. On the other hand, we have to understand that for Brian and other recruits at his level, the NBA is #1 goal and no one can beat the blue blood's track records in that regard.

If a player is good enough for the NBA - they will find him (see Damian Lillard, Doug McDermott, many others from small schools). If Tugs is NBA good, he can do his 1 or more college years anywhere - it doesn't matter what school he attends - they will find him. Jays have 3 currently playing pro, so I guess he can go pro from Omaha too.

Just some random twitter fodder on Bowen, who knows if this guy knows what he is talking about or not...

UK, UCLA and Creighton in addition to MSU

@mathewbackos @JohnMsuFan I know, I asked about that specifically. Just said he likes how they play.
