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

[vivid_dude]

And then there's this. The Vice President of ESPN Louisville (@Drew_Deener) tweeted that he got a tip that Bowen enrolled at Louisville. He posted a screen shot of the school's enrollment list, with Bowen's name there as a student.

Then he tweeted again 20 minutes later, saying that this could potentially be a different Brian Bowen, or just an email address - not necessarily meaning he's enrolled - so to slow down.

THIS CIRCUS IS AMAZING!!

The tweets Vivid mentioned:

Wouldn't that be a fitting way to end this circus? With a reporter scooping Tugs from announcing it himself with some old fashioned sleuthing?

Brian could just be the unluckiest guy in the world and there's a second Brian that late enrolled last night and is now on the directory.

But where there's smoke there's usually fire, and this is more smoke we've seen in months regarding Tugs' recruitment. You have to think that our chances with him are gone

Thanks for posting the tweets.

You gotta wonder....
Brian Bowen II vs. just a regular old Brian Bowen.

Don't you think that "II" would be on any official, enrollment information at Louisville? I think I just broke the story. CREIGHTON IS BACK IN THE RUNNING!

Yeah I find it hard to believe Tugs forgoes announcing his decision himself and instead has it divulged by a university directory. What a joke.

Is it bad for me to want to root against him wherever he ends up going?

There is a good chance that the "directory" isn't accurate and Tugs has not enrolled at Louisville. But, you act as if Tugs knew or should have known that his name was searchable to the public after enrolling. I don't think you can construe a reporter finding his name in an enrollment directory as him forgoing his ownership of his college decision. He's drug this decision out so long that I would not be surprised if his announcement is pre-empted by a third party.

Hmm.... Where there's smoke there's fire.
