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

[cujaysfan]

is the question - would you rather have two years of cam johnson - or one year of bowen?

not sure the answer to that

[hilltopalum]

I know my answer.

Rivals 'crystal ball' shows Creighton with a 50-50% chance of landing Tugs.

Wrong on the MSU part. Bowen has said publicly Bridges makes no impact bc they play different positions.

They are both SF/PF types. They do similar things. Bowen wants to be the guy. He knows that if Bridges stays, he is most likely the 2nd or 3rd option. I doubt he's going to come out and say that publicly.

Bridges plays the 4 for MSU. Bowen wants to and will play the 2/3. Bridges does a lot more work in the paint than Bowen does. Also, Bowen isn't going to be "the guy" wherever he goes. Not at MSU, certainly not at Arizona. Here? Don't see it. Creighton gives him the biggest role and the most shots, but is he really gonna be the focal point and number 1 option over the Big Easts returning leading scorer and first teamer in Marcus Foster? I don't think so. But, he will have a bigger role here than MSU or UA. Also, wow on Bossi and his colleague picking Tugs to CU. National media hasn't seen us as a legit landing spot his entire recruitment, so for Bossi and another Rivals reporter to predict CU is big IMO. They probably just got my hopes up even more.

What are the latest predictions on Trier?

100% agree...Also I don't think whoever lands Bowen is getting just one year from him. If that's the case, awesome, because it will take one hell of a season from him

"Brian Bowen said other schools not on final list have reached out to see if they can get involved. Oregon, Missouri, Ohio State among them."

Hahahahaha

So is he considering them or not?

Man, this recruitment won't end.

It needs to end. I want it to end. We're waiting around for him and there seems to be no end in sight..it hurts our chances with other guys and transfer as we have to slow play them in order to wait for Tugs
