This was a bit of a surprise.

The 6'7", 195-pound wing man is ranked as the No. 13 player overall in the country for the class of 2017 and the No. 3 small forward by ESPN. He gives the Cardinals their second five-star player in the class and automatically makes them a contender as they desperately needed someone who can give them offense and he definitely does that.

Bowen also had offers from Oregon, Michigan State, UCLA, Indiana and Kansas among others.
