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

[vivid_dude]

Can anyone have an opinion without you lecturing them pretending to be the end all, be all of knowledge?

You can have whatever opinion you want. When I see accusations or opinions that I think are, well, dumb - I call them out. Defend your position, if you can. Maybe you're considering something that I am not. What is so "questionable" about this teenage kid planning for his future by considering another school late in the game, if something about that school is appealing to him?

You said I have zero clue what his motivations are, and that's correct. So, since I don't know what is motivating his decisions, I'm questioning what they are because I don't know. Usually when you don't know something, you ask questions.

Tugs, like most, want to play on the best team, with the best teammates, under the best coach, that will highlight his strengths and put him in a position to win and grow as a person. It's clear that for all the teams involved all these variables will not be set until mid to late April.

He's got a number of All-American games as well as the HS National Championship on his plate.


from the video - it's nice to hear Epperson's in his ear.

Update

[Uncle_George_5]

If he's seriously considering DePaul, I can't believe he'd qualify academically at CU.

Reminder that he will be playing in the McDonald's All-American game on ESPN in 10 minutes.

[Jaybird]

The crawl ESPN is running during the McDonald's game just listed Zona, Creighton, MSU and DePaul as Bowen's final four. One of these kids is committed to Western Kentucky, so I guess anything's possible, even DePaul.

Of the six remaining uncommitteds, three are considering Arizona. They could have a terrifying roster next year.

[gtmoBlue]

All four open spots are filled at Arizona. Miller is praying that 2-3 guys leave early to make room for walker/tugs, Brandon McCoy. However, it doesn't appear that Alonzo Trier, Kobi Simmons, or Rawle Alkins are leaving. Coach may have to run one or more away - they have several lesser known bench guys, as he did to Justin Simon this past season. Gonna be crowded at the wing in Tucson. If tugs wants to play, have his shot at 1-n-Done...Creighton is the best spot. Only 1 guy playing the 3.

Press conference at Zona this morning (Noon central). We will likely find out who from Arizona is declaring and who is coming back. Current thought by most experts is Simmons is gone and Trier/Alkins will return. This would greatly impact whether or not Bowen will have a role with them.
