South Carolina will reportedly land basketball recruit Brian Bowen, the five-star Louisville recruit linked to the scandal that brought down Rick Pitino.
ESPN's Jeff Goodman tweeted Wednesday that Brian Bowen, formerly a Louisville signee, will join the Gamecocks.
Bowen is a five-star small forward from Indiana and former McDonald's All-American. Though not mentioned by name, Bowen was a central figure in the FBI report that led to coach Rick Pitino's dismissal.
Former Louisville commit Brian Bowen told ESPN he has been admitted to South Carolina and will seek reinstatement from the NCAA. Story coming.
