DEL.ICIO.USRidgeland’s Bowman considers offers from UGA, Auburn, others
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
Ridgeland receiver Michael Bowman (6-5, 222) is touted by some to be the top receiver in the state and already has offers from Georgia, Auburn, LSU, Alabama and Oregon, among others.
But he’s working out as if he didn’t have any offers at all. It’s one of the tidbits of advice he has been getting from his big brother, Adarius Bowman, a star rookie receiver in the Canadian Football League. He’s trying to keep his little brother from making the same missteps that led Adarius to the CFL instead of the NFL.
Adarius was considered the top high school receiver in the state of Tennessee in 2003. During his sophomore season at North Carolina, he was dismissed from the team after an arrest for marijuana possession. He re-established himself as one of the nation’s top receivers at Oklahoma State and was poised to be a first-round draft pick in April. But poor workouts and another marijuana arrest caused him to go undrafted.
“We talk about it all the time,” Michael Bowman said. “He’s always giving me advice on the decisions I need to make.”
Michael Bowman says he is working hard to pattern his on-field game after his brother’s, who is having a standout season for the Saskatchewan Roughriders. He had 112 yards receiving on six catches, including a 74-yard touchdown reception, in his CFL debut last month.
“I want to be more physical this season and aggressive like him,” Bowman said.

I don’t recall UGA offering him. Everything I read said his grades were suspect and that he needs to work on his academics before he gets offered by Georgia.
Has anyone else heard any different?

UGA has not offered this kid. Early in the recruiting process he favored uga but due to a lack of an offer he has moved on. Check rivals.com for validation.

I think UGA is cautious about this kid… grades, his brother who he obviously looks up to has had his share of trouble. Even the parents made a crazy scene last year at the UGA/Ok.St. game. Who needs all that?

I have season tickets to the Saskatchewan Roughriders, Adarius Bowman is unreal. His 74 yard touchdown catch was right on front of our section. He’s just a freak of nature and will definitely be in the NFL next year. Hopefully Michael has the same skills as Adarius.
