Bowen latest NH basketball player to transfer

The trend continues. Another New Hampshire basketball player is transferring closer to home.

Reported by the Union Leader on Tuesday May 1, Nashua native and High Point stand out Troy Bowen will transfer to be closer to home. According to the report Bowen will join Division II Southern New Hampshire.

The 6'4 Bowen started 22 of 32 games for High Point averaging 6.3 points per game while citing his reasons to leave the program were not basketball related.

"I just wanted to be closer to home," Bowen said in the report. "It had nothing to do with basketball. High Point is too far from home."

Bowen joins the long list of N.H. players who have transferred in the recent years. In early April Chris Lutz, Purdue, announced he would also transfer closer to home.

Though no official announcement has been made it's rumored on Jeff Goodman's blog on FoxSports.net that Lutz will join Bowen and former high school teammate and Northeastern Husky Chris Brickly at Southern New Hampshire.

The count is now up to six athletes who have transferred after coming out of New Hampshire to play basketball in the recent years: Bowen, Lutz, Brickly, Luke Bonner(West Virginia-UMass), Chad Millard (Lousiville-Creighton), and Corey Hassan(Boston Univeristy-Sacred Heart).
