With Kris Wilkes Commitment Imminent, Brian Bowen Cancels UCLA Visit

With Kris Wilkes’ commitment to UCLA imminent, Brian Bowen cancelled his upcoming visit to the Pac-12 school.

Wilkes, the 6-foot-7 small forward from Indianapolis (IN) North Central, is set to pick UCLA over Indiana and Illinois, multiple sources said.

“It was a mutual decision [to cancel the visit],” Bowen said.

Wilkes’ commitment would give UCLA a fifth commit in the Class of 2017, following point guard Jaylen Hands, shooting guard LiAngleo Ball, power forward Cody Riley and center Jalen Hill.

Meantime, Bowen visited Arizona this weekend and is also set to visit N.C. State on Monday. He will also visit Creighton and Michigan State in November.
