From the 2019 Master List:

I couldn’t find a thread so I’ll post in here:

I have heard from a close friend to the family that 4 star o lineman Tanner Bowles from Glasgow, KY is waiting for a ND offer to narrow down his recuitmenr. I know he has visited south bend a time or two. Both his dad and brother played for UofL baseball. Kid has blown up this week with offers from FSU, OSU, Bama, and USC.

Love his film. I hope they offer. We will see what quinn wants to do. Hasn't he visited?

Good call by KyfI36, I've been following him closely over the past week since he and Elston started mingling. He was one of Quinn's very first 2019 follows so they have history but Elston is his area recruiter I guess and now that he's on board as well as all of the recruiting staff, things could pop just like Colt Ellison did. I was really waiting for BK to follow him to make it official.

I like his film too, it reminds me of Patterson's only JP was doing it against Mission Viejo's schedule. Still, Tanner is all over the field showing off those feet.

My question is... If you have a top three of Olmstead, Quinn & Kristofic, do you want to take a guy who doesn't bring some crazy Mike McGlinchey physical skillset & ceiling to the party if you are stockpiling OT's? I really like JJ Guedet for that reason

...and I haven't closed the book on Joe Tippmann cuz "Notre Dame's a GREAT SCHOOL" His words, not mine. *wink*

Tanner was on campus for SC last year and possibly the lineman's camp in '17 or '16.

So it sounds like he is waiting for an offer/offers before he makes a list public. Notre Dame, Florida and Clemson are schools that he's visited or he stated publicly that he wants to visit and potentially waiting on an offer. Evidently he doesn't have any desire to visit Georgia, pOSU, Alabama or USC.

So based upon where he has already visited and where he plans to visit, these schools are vying for spots in his top 6.

Notre Dame, Louisville, LSU, Ole Miss, Florida State, Florida, Stanford, Clemson and Kentucky

Speaking of a specific school, Bowles kept it close to the vest when asked if he had any favorites but did provide some wise insight as to where his recruitment status stands.

"Personally I’ve narrowed down to about six schools but I’m not ready to make that public. I still believe that some teams can change my mind so they aren’t locked in yet," Bowles offered. "The only schools that I plan to visit that I have not visited are Florida State, Florida, Stanford, and Clemson. (I'm) still going to visit many that I’ve already been to."

My guy told me he’s really liking OU and Georgia right now.

Also I know he visited back in November I think because I showed the close friend a write up about the visit on 247.

Silently committed to bama at their spring game.

We are in good shape with 3-4 other OL higher on our board than Bowles. I think he wanted to commit but could have been told to wait. Guess we will see.

 

[KyfightingIrish36]

Looks like they took him.

 

[T Town Tommy]

Yep.
