After being away from the team for a period of time this offseason, 2020 signee Lorne Bowman has made the decision to withdraw from Wisconsin.
The true freshman has been dealing with undisclosed family issues and headed home to be closer to his family in Michigan. Head coach Greg Gard commented on the situation during yesterday’s signing day Zoom call with reporters.
“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 yesterday. “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.”
While nobody is ruling out Bowman being a part of Wisconsin basketball in the near future, he will be away from the team for an indefinite period of time.
