I first wrote about Will Bogan on March 27, 2006.
Stories began to surface that Bogan, then a junior from Bell City, Missouri, had accepted an offer from Calipari to attend the U of M in the 2007-2008 freshman class. Subsequently, very little was ever heard about Bogan thereafter. At the timr, Bogan, a 6-10 290 pound center, was not ranked by any of the major recruiting services which makes one wonder about his ability for a school that saw its program elevate considerably during the past two years. Early on it was considered that Bogan had been a very late bloomer and had only played organized basketball for a short amount of time.
Not really knowing what might of happened, I opine that Memphis rescinded the scholarship offer to Bogan for some reason. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding and Cal never really had made an offer.
Bogan played his freshman year for Southeast Missouri State and is currently listed on their roster for next season as a 6-10, 300 pound Sophomore.
The following is from the SE Missouri website on Bogan:
