Overview
- On3 initially reported that multiple high-major programs were exploring Trentyn Flowers, a Chicago Bulls two-way player who has logged NBA minutes.
- Subsequent reporting from CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander said at least five of those schools denied involvement, prompting On3’s Joe Tipton to update that Florida, Michigan, Clemson, Indiana, and Texas Tech were not expected to be in the mix.
- Insider Adam Zagoria added that Kentucky was also not expected to pursue Flowers, underscoring uncertainty about the actual scope of interest.
- Flowers remains under a two-way contract with Chicago and has appeared in eight NBA games across two seasons, including four points in a Dec. 7 appearance for the Bulls, with no school enrollment or NCAA ruling announced.
- The NCAA said it decides eligibility individually and notes that schools may recruit players with professional experience under existing parameters, a stance shaped by recent cases such as James Nnaji enrolling at Baylor.
