Yesterday 4-star Shooting Guard Maverick Rowan (6’7″) narrowed down his list to six schools, and the Wolfpack made the cut.

Back in June of 2013, Rowan lived in Pennsylvania and the University of Pittsburgh was the only offer on the table, and he committed to the Panthers.  In August of last year, his family moved down to Florida, and one month later he re-opened his recruitment.

Rowan is currently in the 2016 class, but only needs two more classes in order to graduate, and if he finds a way to make that happen, there is the possibility that he moves up to the 2015 class.

Back on April 1st, Rowan’s father said that if the way was made clear to re-classify, then he would:

“If he can (reclassify) we’re going to do it, and we’ll know very shortly,” Ron Rowan said.

No one knows at this point what class Rowan will end up in, or what school he will choose, but he does know that he will only attend a school where he can play right away.

“I’m not going to go to a place where I’m not going to play right away,” Rowan said, “and that’s just the bottom line.”

News on whether or not Rowan will be able to reclassify to the 2015 class should be known in the next couple of weeks.
