Five-star wing Brian Bowen headed to?
http://www.courier-journal.com/story/spo...357134001/

Louisville appears to be on the brink of pulling off a recruiting stunner, as McDonald's All-American Brian Bowen enrolled Thursday at U of L.


Bowen, a consensus five-star Class of 2017 prospect, still has to sign financial aid paperwork before he is officially a member of the 2017-18 Louisville team.
He posted on his Instagram and Twitter accounts Thursday afternoon that he will announce his college decision at 4 p.m. Saturday.


The growing consensus among recruiting analysts is that Bowen will pick Louisville, which emerged late in his recruitment.
The 6-foot-7 forward has had a long list of suitors pursuing him. Arizona, Creighton, DePaul, Michigan State, North Carolina State, Oregon, Texas and UCLA, among others, have all chased his commitment at some point over the past few years.
U of L offered Bowen a scholarship in 2014 and monitored him as a high school sophomore during the 2015 AAU circuit, but both sides moved in different directions over the past two years.
Bowen came back on Louisville's radar in recent days, when a member of his camp reached out to U of L's coaching staff. He reportedly visited Louisville with his parents earlier this week, taking in a Cards practice and walking around Churchill Downs.


Bowen, a Michigan native who played for La Lumiere School in La Porte, Indiana, would give U of L another scoring wing. He could share playing time with primary wings junior Deng Adel and sophomore V.J. King, plus fellow freshman Jordan Nwora and redshirt sophomore Dwayne Sutton.
Bowen was the Jordan Brand Classic's co-most valuable player, scoring 26 points on 10-of-13 shooting, including 6 of 7 from 3-point range. He scored three points in the McDonald's All-American Game.
National recruiting rankings for Bowen range from 12th to 20th. 247Sports considers Bowen the No. 12 prospect in the country for 2017 and the fourth-best small forward. ESPN lists him as the No. 3 small forward. Rivals ranks him 20th, and Scout ranks him 18th.

Louisville's original quartet of signees – Nwora, Darius Perry, Lance Thomas and Malik Williams – ranked 10th in ESPN's class ratings, a figure that would likely improve with the addition of Bowen.

A truly bizarre situation.

He sounds good. I hope he has the attitude to handle Pitino. Not a lot of uber-talented, 5-star, kids do.

Color me as cautiously optimistic. Maybe he can pick up some of the slack Donovan Mitchell has left behind.
