The point is in the last two years he’s had a broken finger, concussion and separated shoulder that I know of for sure. Someone else said he also had a sprained ankle last year. He’s injury prone and you don’t risk your entire season being ruined bringing back an injury prone pg who isn’t even elite to begin with. If he was a Wall/Fox talent then sure, bring him back, but he’s not. Pope has had both seasons ruined by injury. He’s really risking his job, assuming he’s here, by bringing Lowe back for year 3. If another season goes off the rails for Pope for whatever reason then he’s done here. He’s fighting for his job at this point.
can you IMAGINE? in an absolute must-win scenario having Jaland Lowe be one of your top guys. it's absurd

i keep hearing about him being all-ACC. did Duke want him? they saw a lot of him. wonder why they never tried to scoop him up

Makes sense. Hope he can get medical redshirt.
How convenient for this to happen during the NIL era…

Fleece a school for NIL you have no business being at (looking at you, Krissa), have a “season ending injury”, and voila, get a mulligan for an extra year of NIL earnings!

But, I’m sure it’s completely organic, and just a bizarre coincidence 😂🤣😂

Kinda like JQ’s knee “swelling” that just ironically gives him an excuse to protect his overinflated draft stock!

Whatever happened to just plain honesty? Oh wait, it never existed in sports!

Idk man. The JQ thing is its own beast but Lowe wasn’t even close to 100% and played three different times after his shoulder popped out. It was the right decision — scroll up through the comments: almost every post is about how he sucked and wasn’t any good. Most of those posters have never even seen the guy healthy. He was willing to play far below 100% for the team. Should be celebrated for what it was. Selfless.
