I'd take him, as well as the PG on Bearden's team Ques Glover. Both play on BMaze's team and have potential to be really good, IMO. That being said, will probably come down to whether they want to be small fish in the big pond, or be the big fish somewhere else.
Ive wondered about Glover, nice looking player but given where we stand with other guards its hard to imagine Tennessee using a scholarship on him for 2019 class.
Bowden was a Carter Hornet.east tn guys usually go under-recruited. He might take a similar route to jordan bowden, who killed it at central high in knoxville and then took an extra year to play at a prep school to increase his stock value as a recruit. Will be interesting to see what happens.
We need to get the instate guys if possible.
Didnt have the grades?
Grades were great. Test score got flagged. Pretty sure he took an ACT prep course and knocked it out of the park and it got him flagged.
Turned out to be a huge blessing.
Edit: Also I remember Southern Miss recruiting him that spring and I remember Tyndall had guys coming to watch him too but they were out of schollies IIRC.
So why did he go to prep? Sounds as if he could have easily still been cleared by NCAA and gone D1?
I mean that I can't say. I don't know his reasoning. I was just saying that he wanted to go D1 out of HS from what I recall. Still wasn't cleared at the end of school in May as far as I know so prep made sense.
So the prep route got him more exposure for sure but if his score hadn't been flagged I don't think he would have went to 22 foot.
