I remember Bowan's father, Mike Born, when he played at W.D.M. Valley High School. He was about 5 yrs. my senior. My recollection is that Drake recruited Mike Born pretty hard, but Mike Born ended up going to University of Nebraska-Omaha, instead, and then Iowa State. Anyone else remember the scenario and whether there is more to the story? Did Drake back-out on Mike Born or did Mike Born back-out on Drake. I recall that Mike Born had a real lousy 1984 state championship game. Strange to snub Drake for UNO--especially back in the late '80's when Drake and the MVC were higher in status. I hope Mike Born doesn't have a grudge or an axe to grind with Drake.
Are you talkin to me?

I think you are a little off here. I could be wrong but I don't think Born Sr was recruited much by Drake back in the day. He was a guy that just kept getting better, wasn't highly recruited at all and then kind of blew up at Nebraska Omaha and transferred to Iowa State. Would seriously doubt there would be a grudge from almost 40 years ago.

Offer from Toledo, I also missed that before the Indiana State offer he also picked up an offer from South Dakota.

Nice article about Bowen in today’s Register. More big schools showing interest. May still come down to Drake vs UNI

+xNice article about Bowen in today’s Register. More big schools showing interest. May still come down to Drake vs UNI Is that what you took away? After reading that I kind of got the feeling that he thought both schools were "great" but that he's hoping for better (high-major) offers. Personally, I think he should come where he can be a Champ... but....

Do we think Drake is an unofficial just because Drake is in his backyard? Save the officials for ones where he has to travel out of town to a place that has offered?

Bain in the DM Register said he’s doing an unofficial to Drake simply because there is no travel involved....said not to read anything more into it

Born should go to Drake and become Steph Currie. Playing 50 point games at UNI can't be much fun. Toledo?

The latest on Bowen Born's recruitment. I think he's just waiting for an Iowa offer, but definitely going to visit Drake.

I don't understand why anyone would want to play for Fran. The program is falling apart. He needs to talk to Brady E.
Moving forward.....

I think Fran's kids are a big part of the reason for the exodus. No matter how much better you are, Fran's kids are gonna play.
Moving forward.....

According to the Register he is Iowa's number 19 recruiting priority for 2020. hat means they have to strike out on 17 other players before offering him one of their two available scholarships.

Iowa just offered a PG yesterday out of that class Ahron Ulis from the Chicago Area. Iowa was his first Power 5 offer. Unless he gets more interest all of a sudden hard to believe he isn't a Hawk and obviously a message to Bowen that they liked this kid more?
