A top basketball recruit faces career-changing decision, caught between FBI, NCAA and NBA

As an NBA deadline approaches, Brian Bowen still awaits an NCAA decision, his basketball future on hold.

Bowen, who transferred from Louisville to South Carolina during his freshman season after being caught up in the FBI's investigation into college basketball, entered the 2018 NBA draft but did not sign with an agent, giving himself the option of withdrawing from the draft and returning to school. The 6-7 forward, who was a Class of 2017 5-star recruit coming out of La Lumiere School in Indiana, has until Wednesday at 11:59 p.m., the deadline for leaving the draft and returning to school, to make that decision.
