Kind of agree at this point. Let our guys just deal without him the best we can. Get the kid healthy.
Recruit over him. Too small and weak.
We have to get along without him but I would play him whenever he can play. We can't afford to not use any assets we've got.
Is there something that can be done surgically to repair his issue? If do get him under the knife now so his recovery doesn’t linger into next season.
He will not be here next season
If healthy he would be a good secondary guard/20 minutes off the bench role.
Um. No one else has. JQ's knee is literally swelling.
The thought when he went out definitely went thru my mind that it could have been planned. Did the team rally together and decide to play for the guys who want to be here?
I'm afraid you're right. I really like Lowe leading the team but he is way too fragile at this point and the team needs to learn to play without him. Get him his needed surgery and rehab and bring him back next season. Does he still qualify for a medical redshirt at this point as I don't know if he played that many games after missing so much to start the season?
Lowe = wheeler as a player.
Wheeler can't open the freezer without giving himself a concussion.
I think "decided to sit out the year" is a bit much. This isn't a Shaedon Sharpe situation. Both of the guys are dealing with significant injuries.
It's a blessing in disguise not having those two. I'm starting to think part of the team's struggle was centered around not having those two. Last night they seemed to really click.
Coming from a guy with a bad shoulder that I have dislocated numerous times playing basketball and various other activities. He’s not ‘deciding’ to sit the year out. He’s trying to play, but he needs to just shut it down, have surgery and come back next year.
Yeah. It’s strange to want the guard who can’t shoot back for round two.
Wheeler skipped senior night. He is my least favorite UK player of all time.
We just may turn a corner now that team isn’t waiting around for two starters to come back and it’s now all hands on deck. Maybe everyone will feel that they have a definite role instead of a temporary one.
JQ was going to always be a bit of a gamble but it’s high risk, high reward for him. So. You take that shot.
If he’s wise he’d get the surgery now and be ready for next year, wherever he goes. I’m not convinced he’ll stay because I think the NIL budget is gonna be cut significantly next year so I imagine a lot of our current players aren’t going to want to stick around for a smaller paycheck.
