Brian Bowen of
La Lumiere (LaPorte, Ind.) has enrolled at Louisville according to a
report by Jeff Greer of the Courier-Journal.
A 6-foot-7 guard/wing pegged as the No. 18 overall prospect in the 2017 class by
247Sports, Bowen was long regarded as a Michigan State lean. In recent months, he's also been connected to Creighton, DePaul (where his coach at La Lumiere joined the staff), Oregon and Texas.
Out of nowhere, the Cardinals gained steam in recent days. A dozen recruiting analysts have predicted Bowen to Louisville in the
247Sports Crystal Ball since Wednesday.
As a senior at La Lumiere, Bowen averaged over 22 points per game while leading the Lakers to a 29-1 record and Dick's Sporting Goods High School Nationals title.
Bowen has an official announcement set for Saturday at 4 p.m. EDT. He is one of just two uncommitted and unsigned senior Top 100 prospects remaining.
Louisville looks to be on the verge of a huge recruiting coup with Brian Bowen.
