Probably took his schollie away for the year. His probability of playing

at all this season was quite low. Getting the schollie back was probably conditioned upon his recovery beyond this next season. And even then it might've had no guarantees attached.

Harsh. But that's D1 ball for ya.

And yet it's not exactly ousting a player, either.

Has Wyatt Lowell to Snow College been talked about on here?

No. Thanks

Wonder if he regrets leaving

JuicyJam

Doubt he was given a choice

You think Pope would oust one of his own guys he brought over?

GhostRider

6/17/21 9:26pm

I don’t think Lowell was any more of his guy than the other ones he pulled scholarships from

DieHarder

6/17/21 9:28pm

Pope didn't bring those other guys into the program.. that was Rose. But Pope

He was recovering from shoulder surgery before the Achilles tear

SinkingQuffa

Idk, I thought it was reported he left on his own and Pope was surprised.

JuicyJam

6/17/21 9:29pm

Nope.

rockyrd

6/17/21 11:33pm

That's likely a front to preserve his recruitability.

SinkingQuffa

6/17/21 11:59pm

And you're wrong again

6/18/21 9:21am

That one may be the most puzzling of the transfers.

6/17/21 9:23pm

I support BYU Basketball, but Wyatt was told there was no place for him on the

6/17/21 11:35pm

I'd think the word "rotation" rather than "roster" is the correct one.

Where is your evidence for this? It’s possible that Wyatt was told...

Pope probably spoke very directly to all his players regarding roles, minutes...

Zastava

6/18/21 10:19am

And that was a conversation that needed to happen. Too many guys were given

6/18/21 10:37am

I agree. Those conversations needed to happen.

Zastava

6/18/21 10:48am

The key in believing the schollies were pulled/discontinued was that all 3

SinkingQuffa

6/18/21 11:24am

I really don’t have any inside information. You could be right.

Zastava

6/18/21 12:10pm

Same here. I could certainly be wrong. In fact, I was quite shocked

SinkingQuffa

6/18/21 12:16pm

Maybe. It seemed like Pope was happy with Connor and Lee for the better part...

Zastava

6/18/21 1:09pm

In my mind, Pope made the very best of a rough hand dealt him.

SinkingQuffa

6/18/21 1:18pm

Lol

6/18/21 9:21am

Going JC means he wants to showcase for a year in hopes of a big offer. Not playing has hurt him.

6/17/21 9:27pm

The labrum tear and surgery followed by the Achilles tear has cost him 2 years

icecougar

The difference between the two players being, of course

SinkingQuffa

6/18/21 5:55am

A healthy Lowell definitely had a spot to n the roster. The difference is Baxter

ayfan

6/18/21 10:17am

It's a bit more than that. A healthy Lowell needs to earn a role on our current

SinkingQuffa

6/18/21 11:29am

A 6’10 healthy Lowell would be in a nightmare matchup at the three.

ayfan

6/18/21 1:01pm

I don't disagree. I was pulling for him. I wish he hadn't transferred

SinkingQuffa

6/18/21 1:20pm

Ugh!

BYU Fan

This is a good move. Wyatt hasn’t played meaningful

NowIsTheTime

6/17/21 10:02pm

I was hopeful UVU would take a chance on his injury

SinkingQuffa

6/18/21 6:45am

It would also feel like moving backwards. Lowell left them for BYU two years ago

6/18/21 10:42am

True. But you take that option over Snow, don't you? That is,

SinkingQuffa

6/18/21 11:32am

My bad for not clarifying. Moving backwards for uvu as a program. If offered to

6/18/21 12:33pm

Good for Wyatt. Hopefully he can play meaningful minutes for them

6/18/21 10:43am

I don't know how common the D1 to JC path was pre-transfer portal, but there's a lot that do it now.
