News regarding Brian Bowen’s NCAA eligibility status/NBA decision could be released soon, South Carolina basketball coach Frank Martin told The State on Wednesday afternoon.
“I’m not prepared to speak yet,” Martin said at SEC spring meetings around 3:20 p.m. Wednesday. “We got some information. Being in those meetings all day, I couldn’t be on the phone. When you saw me walk out, I was dealing with some of that. I would say within the next hour we will put some stuff out."
Bowen, the 6-foot-7 former five-star prospect, transferred to USC from Louisville in January, but has yet to play because of a recruiting scandal that led to him being ruled ineligible for the 2017-18 season.
