Iowa transfer Dasonte Bowen commits to St. Bonaventure

On Friday, Dasonte Bowen committed to St. Bonaventure out of the transfer portal.

Bowen shared the news with ESPN’s Jonathan Givony who then reported the decision on Twitter this morning.

Bowen played for Iowa each of the past two seasons. In total, he appeared in 51 games for the Hawkeyes, including nine starts. In ’23-’24, he played in 25 of their 34 games with eight starts amongst those outings.

During his career, Bowen has averaged 3.7 points, 1.5 assists, and 1.1 rebounds while shooting 42.8% from the field. Over his sophomore season this last year, he posted 4.4 points, two assists, and 1.3 boards in 13 minutes per game.

Bowen, a Worcester, Massachusetts native, played high school basketball at Brewster Academy. He was a three-star prospect and the No. 155 overall recruit in the 2022 cycle. That’s according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also ranked as the No. 24 PG in the class and the No. 2 player out of New Hampshire behind only Dom Campbell (Notre Dame, Howard).

Bowen arrived in Iowa City as part of the No. 57 class for the Hawkeyes in 2022. He was the program’s highest-rated commitment that year alongside Josh Dix, a three-star and Top-40 SG.

With him in the portal, Iowa has now lost a trio of players to transfers. Pat McCaffery, the son of the head coach in Fran McCaffery, transferred to Butler after five seasons on the team. Tony Perkins, the No. 53 transfer overall per On3’s 2024 Transfer Portal Top Players, also moved on after four seasons with his commitment to Missouri.

As for the Bonnies, Bowen is their only portal addition to this point. This comes after they’d lost a trio of players to transfers thus far this offseason. C Chad Venning committed to Boston College while Kyrell Luc and Yann Farell are both still going through the process.
