A key piece of Wisconsin’s 2020 recruiting class is now back in school at UW.
Detroit, Michigan native Lorne Bowman was the lone true point guard in the Badger class of 2020, but ended up deciding to take time at home with family and deal with personal matters this past semester. There are no confirmed details on the situation, but based on the way Wisconsin head coach Greg Gard talked about it back in November, it seemed like a difficult family situation that was best to keep private:
“The situation he’s dealing with at home with his family has evolved to be more than what I think he and all of us had initially thought,” Gard told the media back in November. “So he’s decided, through consultation with a lot of people to withdraw, at this point, from school. So, he’s no longer a student.”
“But he is obviously a part of our program from a communication standpoint and communicating with people in the athletic department.”
The latest update came yesterday in Gard’s postgame presser. Bowman is now back enrolled in school at Wisconsin, albeit online. Hopefully things are improving in his personal life, and he comes back when/if he feels ready.
