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

[WBR Tom]

Bluejay Banter is reporting on Twitter that he'll be in attendance at tonight's game vs Xavier.

Five-star recruit ranked in the top 25 by pretty much everyone, with offers from the bluest of the blue bloods -- Michigan State, Duke, and Kentucky, among others.

Tugs played with current Bluejay walk-on Drew Cayce and also had a former Jay as a coach (one year I think). Hope they've told him about how great the program is!

If the only thing Drew Cayce ever does is get this kid to commit to Creighton, he may well become a legend.

Please remove gtmos post.

Looks like Tugs had fun at the game. Not often you see a potential clapping.

Not gonna lie...don't think I've ever been this excited about recruiting in all my years as a Jays fan. I know Tugs (best nickname ever?) is a long shot given the fact we're going up against the likes of Coach K, Calipari, and Izzo, but damn it feels good to even get a visit from a 5 star player of his caliber.

I know the CLINK and new championship center had to be impressive tonight, and hopefully the coaching staff stressed the fact that he'd be playing all up and down the East Coast, MSG, and at a 17k person stadium night in and night out. That along with the fact that he'll also have 2 other top 50 players in his class along with a chance to play with Marcus Foster for a year may have any kid hesitate despite all the blue bloods drooling over him.

Know it's a long shot, but this Xavier game has me partaking in Bluejay Kool-Aid Days.

Hope you enjoyed the game Tugs. Be a Jay and you can experience many more like that. Man, he would be a huge get.

Great name!

Well, I'm sure the staff did their best last night. Had a great selling point with the game and all. Let's see how it plays out.

That game had to get the juices flowing a little bit for him.
