Four-star forward Taylor Bol Bowen attends Providence win over Marquette
By ADAM ZAGORIATaylor Bol Bowen, the four-star Class of 2023 small forward from Brewster (N.H.) Academy, was in attendance Sunday for Providence’s thrilling 65-63 victory over Marquette.
The Friars are one of a number of high-profile schools recruiting the 6-foot-9, 190-pound wing, along with UConn, Duke, Kansas, Arkansas and others. He also recently picked up an offer from Houston.
“Providence just really wants me to come in and play and be a star,” he told ZAGSBLOG in November. “In the Big East, my trainer Corey Wright is from Providence, his dad played at Providence. It’s just a lot of love and lot of support at Providence, and I really enjoy and appreciate everything that they’ve done for me so far.”
Providence improved to 18-2 with the win and is 8-1 in the Big East for the first time ever.
Bowen, who was born in Egypt and grew up in Vermont, said he wants to continue to improve his physical strength.
Just a junior, he is still pretty thin and his frame has room for development even as he’s ranked the No. 7 small forward in 2023 by 247Sports.com.
“I’m really just trying to become better at everything really,” he said. “I’m just scratching the surface of my game. I think 10 years from now, I think my level will be much better than it is right now.”
