I already told what I wanted and you came back with a smartass comment. So, just keep whining.
Lowe to Portal
- Thread starter BlueBloodKyFan73
- Start date
All the players and assistants Pope brought in are being scapegoated. Where is his accountability?
He is our coach no matter what I want. Again, I told you what I wanted. Still waiting to see what you want. And Pope being gone is not going to happen, so what else?
I admire that he legitimately tried to play while injured. More than I can say for several of our guys in recent years. Not shocked he is transferring though. Best of luck to him. Not going to say anything negative because I think he legitimately wanted to play.
Lowe was never a Kentucky caliber point guard. Hopefully, we’re going to get an upgrade.
I don't want jack **** coaching who has his players, of any caliber, looking for other opportunities, which is happening. Ya seen chandler looking around? Yea. Mark Poop lives.
You are like arguing with a child. Smh
Well then you are either arguing with a child or you know you're wrong. Either way you should feel dumb
Suddenly I want some pancakes
I do feel dumber after reading your crap. Welcome to ignore.
In my opinion you couldn't promise a starting spot to Lowe with the shoulder injury surgery. Maybe he returns and falls on that shoulder a 100 times next season without incident, but you can't gamble on that. But to be fair to him we never got a chance to see what Lowe could be last season. He never played a game without a shoulder barely hanging in place and strapped to his body. That effects every aspect of the game both physically and mentally. I still think if Lowe's efficiency number improved from his sophomore year he could be a top notch CBB PG.

None at all on this decision.. I was hoping like hell he'd leave..
Maybe we got a big time PG coming in
It was a gamble, it just makes me question what the hell Pope actually is looking for. Like who's doing scouting
Uh oh, what are we ever going to do without the PG made of glass that cant defend to save his a$$?
Glad he’s gone! Pope better smoke this portal and get Stokes!
Sw
we need a BIG TIME EVERYTHING
Pope didn’t think Lowe was the answer last season. He ended up with Lowe after missing on his main targets. It’s ok that he’s leaving.
We needed an upgrade at point guard so I’m actually happy about this.
Could have sworn he was one of those "two year" contract players from last year.
Oh well. Good luck to him. Was disappointed when he was our guy after the whiffs last spring and wasn't excited running it back with him. We can definitely use a taller, strong, less flamboyant type of PG

It’s not OK if he misses “on his main targets” yet again.
If he couldn’t land his top choices in last year’s portal, why should we feel confident he will be able to do so this year?
He needs to land a serious stud PG to make this be good news instead of bad.
Suspect he wanted assurance that he would be the starting PG and Pope was not willing to assure him? Thought he was here on a two year deal? This above all else makes you wonder about the player selection for the 2025 team. PG who is not worth another year, a center with a known history of a a serious known injury who at best was just going to play a couple of months, and I guess we will see who else is pushed out the door . But how confident can we be going into the portal two-week period without a coaching staff? Home run hires and home run recruiting are the only things that will save Pope's job otherwise prepare for hard times in 2026-27. I suspect we will have some key recruits commit out of the portal but not sure that starting all over again will yield a better outcome.
Good Luck young fella. I appreciate the heart you showed. Hope you find a good fit
That’s the kind of talent he has to bring in to have any chance of having the season he needs to have.
I was not a big Lowe fan. Honestly I thought wheeler was better. Yikes. Also, he was very slight in build. I don’t want anymore 160 pounders.
Let’s get an ambidextrous one and confuse everybody.No more left handed offense
And it was Ridiculous when it was said. That kid is a ball hogin clunker. You see how these teams play right now? Lowe ain’t that guy and Mark knows it that’s why he’s not retaining him. Lowe would have added so many problems to an already problematic laden team. We can throw it in a wash and say “but he’s our starting point guard obviously it would have helped” but that’s without context whatsoever. The data on that kid isn’t good. He’s not efficient and this team had issues in that area.
I wanted Lowe to stay as a backup PG, depth. But…he wasn’t going to do that. Quality depth is going to be tough to achieve going forward for most programs.
How may times does it need to be said that Pope can't do the job here and that its not personal even though so many people get hurt feelings over it. This is not enjoyable or does it show promise, why prolong it
What we want is Kentucky caliber players who also stay and build a culture. But they have to be Kentucky caliber and he’s not. If you miss you have to re evaluate. This is 101 stuff, it’s not hard to understand.
Keeo guys who are Kentucky worthy and replace the ones that aren’t. Why is that hard? And spare the fanbases across the country speech, they are paid to deliver and if they don’t deliver they will be called on it in every level after high school. You don’t get to say pay me then complain when a fanbase said you aren’t worthy of it. I realize this is a change from the past I don’t like it either but the old timers are going to have to accept it at some point. This fanbase is lightweight compared to most dominant fanbases. Those fanbases would never put up with Barnhart for 24 years or refining Stoops for that long that I can promise you. They go ham and revolt and it’s messy. Kentucky isn’t close to some of these places and players have no problem playing there stop being emotional this isn’t about how you feel about people.
Probably true but, regardless, I want a point guard who can shoot the ball.
I thought it was a couple weeks ago he posted something about being back next year?
Either way, who is going to pay him the kind of money he got this year when by the time next season gets here, it will be over a year since he played.
Dang, it's like these kids get welfare in the millions to do nothing.

I think it’s horrible recruting. Lowe was probably like our 3rd or 4th choice. I’d say Pope agrees because Lowe said he wanted to come back. Makes me think the conversation between he and the staff was Pope telling him at minimum he wouldn’t guarantee he’d start next year.
I think Lowe would crush it at a mid major. To me he looked like a less talented version of Ryan Harrow. (Harrow was actually a baller, but went through a rough time while he was here unfortunately)
I won’t be too hard on Lowe. However, I said around December he was soft. Men that want to play figure it out even when hurt or even injured. I don’t think he would have made much of a difference with this team.
