I really hope we dont get him. Can you imagine what is would be like after 1 year and his decision to go to the NBA? It would be a circus on steroids. all about him, not the team. Hes better off at Louisville or wherever he decides, because most likely he has changed his mind 15 times already since yesterday. It would have been easier to deal with Lavar Ball for his kids this this...

Welp, moving on from that gigantic waste of time. I agree that he never really was interested about us and instead just dragged us along until someone else came along. I hope in the future the coaches put in a policy like a time limit on our offers excluding circumstances like tremont waters which was understandable. They should have maybe after the first couple times he said he would announce passed by put a deadline on our offer, and pulled it thereafter. Just sucks that he clearly used us this whole time and wasted the coaches time.

for a recruit that patiently analyzed all aspects of each team, it is mind boggling that he would jump to Louisville without considering the current environment. Maybe he thinks he could extricate himself if Pitino is suspended.

So basically he didn't think he'd see a lot of minutes with Foster and Thomas at the 2 and 3.

Maybe Louisville hooked him up with some of those hookers, and they were too good to pass up.

Stinks to lose a player of his caliber, but at the same time you can't blame him for wanting to go to a school with some NCAA success. We are a great "pump your chest" in the off season team that "always has a tough draw in the NCAA's" We will "play anybody in January and February, but complain about who we get in March.

The guy wanted a shot to make a run in the NCAA tourney. Good for him.

Bowen strung along 5 schools he never had any intention of going to. His final 5 as he said numerous times were actually 4th thru 8th as Depaul, Louisville and Oregon all moved ahead of his final 5 but Bowen still kept the 5 schools on a string as he kept saying nothing has changed with his final 5. I am glad he didn't sign with Creighton as he isn't the type of kid I want Creighton to sign. Bowen seems to be all about himself with no care for anyone but himself. We probably will never know why he didn't inform his final 5 that he wasn't interested long before making his commitment to UL. Heck, he even enrolled in UL 2 days before his commitment. An honorable person would have made his announcement for sure before he enrolled in summer school at UL. Bowen is a joke and basketball teams, coaches and fans don't need any more jokers like Bowen. I just hope Bowen and others after him, that being honest to schools, coaches and the media is the best way to conduct yourself.
