I just saw a good video about Marcus Bowie who is a senior at Sayre. He looks like a real good kid and a pretty good player, no superstar, but he wants to play at UK, maybe Cal will let him walk on:

Bowie’s kid belongs in blue. On a side note - I met Sam Bowie and got his autograph when I was just a 12-year-old kid. My parents had brought me up to Kentucky from Tennessee to see a game. They took me by Wildcat Lodge to see if we would happen to see any players. This was when Bowie was on crutches. He came walking out and I grabbed a church bulletin and a pen and went running up to him asking for an autograph. No joke - his crutches were taller than me! He was really sweet to me even though I was just a middle school girl bugging him for an autograph. I remember he took the time to chat and gave me a great autograph.

Great memory. Thanks for sharing.

Someone asked about his size and I think I read Marcus is 6ft 5

Agreed. would like to see him in Blue if that's where he wants to be. Sam was a terrific young man that just had horrible luck with his shins. Reminds me a lot of AD. And that truly is a compliment.

I remember Sam Bowie's daughter when she was in high school, and they played against my high school. He was in the crowd! I didn't meet him because I saw other people go up to him and I didn't want to bother him. He looked tired/not in the mood to socialize with strangers, but he was still happy to do it anyway.

He is averaging 10 points and 5 rebounds a game this year. Not the best player on his team but it really doesn't hurt anything.

This would be the classic example of a No-Brainer

Looks so much like his old man. One thing I’ve always thought about UK basketball is that walk-on players should always be filled by Kentucky boys or legacy players. He would fit right into this.
