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:
Sam's Bowie's son Marcus

- Start date
Sam Bowie was one of my favorite UK players.
Marcus Bowie, come on down!
Marcus Bowie, come on down!
Seems like a great kid. If he wants to walk on it`s fine with me,
If he wants to walk on, why would Calipari NOT let him ?.
when has cal used all of his rides any way give him a ride
If that boy wants to come to U.K. Then hell yes bring him on !!
Sam Bowie was a very underrated passer.
He has to be as good as a couple other walk ons and I support giving preferential treatment in that area to legacy kids. Right or wrong.
He has to be a walk-on, right. There should be some sort of legacy spot on the 15th seat of the bench for the son of a player of Sam Bowie's standing.
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.
Lucky to have talked to Bowie a couple times, he's the nicest guy I've ever met. Hope we can get his son as a walk on.
His dad is one of the nicest guys around and he seems to cut from the same cloth. I’m sure he would be a great addition at UK. He plays pretty well.
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.
GO CATS

His youngest son, Jim, is the best prospect. Cuts the lanes like a knife.
Just curious-does anyone recall what ever became of Sam's daughter Samantha(a really good high school player)?
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.
Yup, this kid is on the level of UK All Time greats Taushaun Prince, Keith Bogans, Chuck Hayes, Rajon Rondo and Jody Meeks. He'd be right up there with them.
This message board, SMH.

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.
