Report: Louisville Altered Brian Bowen’s Recruiting Document to Hide Presence of Sports Agent During Visit

According to court documents, the University of Louisville altered Brian Bowen’s recruiting document to hide the presence of sports agent Christian Dawkins during Bowen’s visit to the school.

Here are details from WDRB:

Court documents made public Wednesday in a civil suit of former head coach Rick Pitino show that official paperwork was changed to keep Christian Dawkins’ presence on a visit with prized high school recruit Brian Bowen in May 2017 unknown.

During a deposition, former men’s basketball assistant coach David Padgett said he learned after he became interim head coach that Johnson “influenced” then director of basketball operations Michael Bowden to keep Dawkins name off the “unofficial visit form” of Bowen.
