Looking at Bowdoin’s Common Data Set for 2009-2010, of 161 transfer applicants, 8 were admitted and 3 enrolled. Your friend’s military experience (non-U.S.) could make him an interesting prospect. Though he wouldn’t be a Yellow Ribbon Program participant I assume, the recent proposal to Bowdoin Student Government suggests interest in educating veterans on the part of some students.

Amherst currently has one of their soccer standouts serving his home country for two years of military service, started after his freshman year. I would think that your friend, as a possible basketball prospect who did very well at a respected LAC, shouldn’t rule out Bowdoin for possible transfer.
