That's good. This team has desperately needed a good 3 point shooter.

We are gonna be in even more desperate need of Bowen by the time he gets here because all of our shooters besides maybe Eugene Brown will be gone.

comment from 11w's colin hass-hill this morning:

Just talked to Bowen Hardman for about 30 minutes. Will have that story either later today or tomorrow. He's super excited about his decision.

He said he always knew it'd come down to Ohio State and Cincinnati even if he strung his recruitment along. Ultimately, the emotional bond with Chris Holtmann led him to make an early commitment. He said he compared Holtmann to his father, who died last year around this time. Saw many similarities between them, which drew him closer to Ohio State.

which reminds of...

as with phillips' "feels like home" comment, the key quote from that article:

"It feels like family."

Bowen Hardman Led to Ohio State by “Emotional Attachment” to Chris Holtmann Who Reminds Him of His Late Father

“It was like magic. It was like, this is where I want to be. This is what I want to be for the rest of my life. I want to be a Buckeye. I think with Holtmann and me talking about that stuff, it just clicked. He really, really, really does remind me of my dad a lot, and I think that's what kind of got me.”
