Well if that were the case he would still be at Louisville.

He isn't at Louisville because apparently it's been revealed that Louisville representatives violated NCAA rules in order to ensure that Bowen attend UL and play basketball there in the first place.

There are numerous incidents of program's coaches and recruiters violating NCAA rules in the recruitment of a prospect, and as a penalty (if it's found out before the kid enrolls at the school), that prospect is no longer eligible to play at that school/program, but can enroll and be eligible anywhere else.

When those incidents are caught before the kid enrolls in the school that violated the rules, the dust-up is usually minimal, as the school and kid just go their separate ways, and nothing more is talked about it. But it has happened in both Fb and BB often over the years.
