Lowe Absolutely Can’t Be Here Next Year Unless..
- Thread starter ZaytovenCat
- Start date
I think Lowe is a very good PG. If he's healthy, he's fine as our lead PG.
A senior Lowe may be one of the best PG's in the country.

Okay
Literally changed the entire game yesterday, but you do you
BTW, what did you think of Lamont butler last yr? Who was injured? You know... the guy that literally put his previous team in the national championship?

He still doesn't realize the JMI deal happened in August lol.
That’s just it. The point can be made that he actually was the problem because he wasn’t available the whole game.Seemed pretty good yesterday.
in fact, if you thought the problem yesterday, you should probably watch the game..
Lowe not being available has been this team’s biggest or second biggest problem the entire year. So while it’s not necessarily his fault, I do think he’s been the problem. Just not in the way people usually think.
It would be his third year and he doesn’t have a history of being injury prone. Plus he’s talented enough to roll the dice on anyway. You won’t find many bigs in the portal better than him. You can find guards as good as or better than Lowe who will most likely be available the whole year.
It’s not trolling if it’s true. He’s injury prone, that’s a fact. This injury is one that could potentially happen again even after surgery. You don’t risk blowing an entire season again next year bringing that back. Unless, like I said, he’s fine being the backup.
Also i don’t care what you excuses you make, all 3 of KU/UNC/Duke have gained title ground on us the last 25 years. They’ve all won a title in the last decade as well and we have not even sniffed one outside of the epic choke job of all choke job that started this downward spiral in 2015.
I actually loved Butler. Wished we could have had him back this year but that’s part of why I say you can’t bring back Lowe as your starting pg. You can’t risk a third straight season being ruined by having a starting pg that’s injury prone. Not after the way things have gone so far. Pope’s back is likely going to be against the wall going into next year. If he wants to gamble his job on running this back out there then fine by me. I’ll take another bad year for the chance to get Oates.
The outcome of yesterday’s game doesn’t change anything I said in the OP. It would still be a massive gamble bringing Lowe back to be your starter next year. Nothing that happens the rest of this year would change that outside of some miracle of winning the title and Pope basically gets the monkey off his back for a pressure free year next year.
This is laughable... shame on me for even responding.
Lowe absolutely will help us next season. He needs to have a legit backup pg or even 2 to take some of the load off of him. Pope needs to focus on making sure that we have enough ball handlers to get us through the SEC schedule and into the postseason.
What a comment. Drinking is bad for your mind.
I agree with KA4Prez, a healthy Lowe would probably end up being better than about any PG you could bring in. A lot of the very best non-senior PGs in Power conferences are going to be convinced to stay at their present school. That certainly happened last offseason. Plus, I wonder how many even lesser-thought of PGs from Power conference schools (or even the better known mid-major PGs) are going to want to compete with Lowe for the starting PG spot. And how many high school kids are good enough to provide quality minutes backing up the PG spot that 1st year for a program that expects to be in the hunt for a championship; and of the few who exist are any of them unsigned? Not many, if any, I would think.
So, I definitely want Lowe back after surgery. But I also agree with you that UK obviously has to have more depth there – as FilsonCat said, they really actually need two back up PGs. Even with successful surgery I can’t feel comfortable with just Lowe at the PG spot and one back up. But I suspect that getting quality PG depth isn’t going to be easy.
Maybe pluck a freshman PG out of the transfer portal who is not sure about his direction or role and thinks the grass will be greener somewhere else. Maybe a Div. II guy who’s great at a couple of things but deficient in a few others, e.g., great ball-handler and penetrator, but doesn’t shoot or finish well. Just spit balling, but basically I suspect it’s going to take turning over a lot of rocks and a probably some luck to get even one PG who we’d have much confidence in if Lowe went down again next season.
The one that’s been slowly growing. The one that says he can’t get it done here.
You've been a loser on here for 10+ years. I'll keep bumping this thread to laugh at you.
So you’re the monkey? Get off his back dude its weird.
If he is okay splitting time in the starting lineup with another PG that would be fine. We should try to get another PG anyway we can, even if they are a combo guard or we have to make a PG work at SG sometimes. I’d rather try to make a real PG a SG rather than another position into a PG who isn’t one.
