A one-time Florida State commit, McGowens backed off his pledge a couple weeks back and has now released a top five consisting of LSU, Nebraska, Georgia and Michigan in addition to FSU. Earlier this week, our own Dan McDonald spoke to the five-star and touched on each of his five finalists. 

But as is the case in every single recruitment, not every finalist stands on equal footing. Let’s handicap the race to land the touted prospect’s commitment, shall we? Oh, and to be clear, I’m not actually booking your degenerate recruiting bets. These odds are for entertainment purposes only. Seek help, bro. 

LSU AND NEBRASKA: EVEN MONEY 

The Tigers and Huskers seem like the frontrunners. McGowens’ brother plays for Nebraska, so the allure there is obvious. The fact that head coach Fred Hoiberg has strong NBA ties is also a point for Nebraska. When it comes to LSU, it’s all about relationships. McGowens seems comfortable with the Tigers’ staff despite only recently landing an offer from the program following his decommitment.

Do most assume this is a 1 and done?

I am excited to see where we end up. Kid could certainly be a game changer for this program.

I honestly don't know. But with prospects in the top 30 you always have to assume that's an option that will be there for them.

All of them are one and one...until they aren't.  

But I would not worry about that anyway.  Everything points to him being N...

USA Today on recruiting battles

Bryce McGowens, SG, Legacy Charter (Greenville, South Carolina)


The 247Sports Composite’s No. 25 overall prospect, the five-star, 6-6 McGowens decommitted from Florida State in early October and has been one of the country’s most sought-after recruits since.

He has narrowed his choices down to Nebraska and Georgia.

The Huskers may have the edge because McGowens’ older brother, Trey McGowens, is on the roster. But Georgia has the advantage of proximity, and Bryce visited Athens several times throughout his recruitment.

McGowens hasn’t stated publicly when he will make his decision, but it’s thought that announcement could come during the early signing period. He would be a monumental get for Nebraska coach Fred Hoiberg.
