Michigan State has long been considered the favorite in part because Bowen is cousins with former Spartans standout Jason Richardson.

“I’m not sure when I’ll make my decision, but once I cut my list is when I’ll start thinking a lot harder about the recruiting process,” Bowen told MLive.com earlier this month. “Starting next week is when I’ll really, really think about when I’ll take my visits and when I’ll make my decision. Once I do that, it’ll lead to everything else.”
