Demarkcus Bowman enters the portal

UF would have to massively **** this one up

Knox is the position coach, so it could happen.

I thought Summerall was going to hit the portal.

Maybe, like Ensign Zack Mayo, he's got no place else to go.

Im in tears lmaaaao

Bowman is an elite talent. Nice to see Clemson lose some for a change, vs keeping them for 4 years.

UF seems like a slam dunk here. I would still touch base and see what the scoop is.

 

[CANE1775]

So what's the deal with Bowman? Unhappy? Impatient? Overrated?

 

[Fluffhead]

Does anyone really think UF didn't tamper and reach out to him before this announcement, just like they did with Lingard and tried to with Pope?

 

[CT Cane 44]

In our scheme the combination of Bowman with Knighton is downright scary.

Apparently they already cancelled his fin aid. Feels petty....

Must have gotten a good bag....

Need more information. It can't just be "cancelled" unless there is a violation of team rules, lack of academic progress, or criminal behavior.

It is definitely strange, though.

Correct me if I am wrong, did he not just enroll as a freshman this past August and now is entering the portal two months later.
So any just signed recruit once he arrives on campus can then just turn around and enter the portal and leave?
Sort of makes signing a commitment letter useless.

Clemson don’t play that **** man. You mess around you gone

 

[RozayCane]

So he took the bigger bag, just to leave them and now (I guess) go to the school who he really liked. (gators)

wonder how often that happens

His grandfather died

Death of grandfather prompts Bowman transfer from "literally the most perfect place"

One of the main reasons Demarkcus Bowman chose Clemson was his grandfather. His grandfather’s recent passing, however, meant Bowman no longer felt comfortable i

You saw him on IG the other night clapping back at people on him for his lack of PT already? He being emotional already lol.

There is mutual interest between Bowman and UF (obviously) and fellow Lakeland Gators already tweeting at him (Summerall and Zipperer).

I'm shocked he didn't go to Gainesville the first time around.

Knoooox. But no the article i posted he said it was wanting his Grandfather to be able to see him play. Now that he has passed away (and his other grandfather as well this summer too) he def wants to be closer to home

Wait, what? He didn't know that in the circumstances of an untimely death of the grandparent that he would no longer have family closer than Florida? And he made the decision because of said grandparent solely? I mean, this doesn't even sound like a good spin job here. I get kids are impulsive and emotional all the time, but this is literally something you KNEW going into the situation.

We need a 2nd RB this class correct..so yes I’d kick the tires to see if there’s some interest. He’d be the better option compared to what we have left on our board and a take in a heart beat

I coached against this kid.... dude is a beast definitely a take if we could... but the Lakeland to Florida connection is too heavy. He has 3-4 teammates at UF.... Lorenzo who????

 

[Billy D Williams]

I thought Bowman was the best back in the state the year he came out. Obviously when facing college kids who are his equal he was not premier. Gaytors don't have an elite stable of backs and he's from Gaytor country. I do think schools like UCF and USF are better second chance schools that will give backs like him the carries to shine.
