Trey Lowe sells the couch

Pete sure is adjusting to times well

@sonics1993 what's the story behind this?

He wouldn't have played even if he didn't have an infection and he knows it.

Can't blame the kid for looking elsewhere.

Pete deserves it.

Play the undeserving seniors, and kill the morale of the young WR. Worshington 2.0

I think it's more a case of him seeing the writing on the wall. He's probably fallen behind due to the infection and doesn't see a path to getting on the field next year, especially with Jalen and Rome coming.

That's the exact thing Pete was complaining about with the Portal. Players who don't get immediate PT are going to be jumping ship at a much higher clip.

I also wonder how much of Pete's strategy of "redshirt everyone" last year is starting to backfire. Obviously there were plenty of players who could have used the experience and gotten more than four games of action if we didn't expressly hold them back. Not only would that have better prepared them for this year (where a lot of the 2018 class seems to be underwhelming), but they would have gained a lot more confidence in their roles and wouldn't feel nearly as threatened by upcoming players. I think we're going to look back at last year's 100% redshirt strategy as a huge failure.

No big deal...at least we still have Jordan Chin. He’s gonna have to step up big as a Senior next year as WR1.

how many times has Lowe even suited up?

Btw, burn the Chico role. If we have Percy Harvin, fine. We don’t, so there is no need to force someone into the Chico role. It’s FS.

Yeah I was joking about the Chico role. It's FS that we even have that role carved out considering it was only mildly successful during a stretch during the 2016 season.

I think Lowe suited up for a couple games last year and got on the field during the Rose Bowl. Don't think he's had any targets though.

Whole offense scheme build on around out smarting your opponent needs to gtfo. Enough of this lil dick complex of an offense. Kids are paralyzed by analysis when they play.

Sucks but it's all about playing time. The kid is looking at the %s and his best path for getting on the field early. Puka will likely command one of the WR spots for at least the next 2 years. Ty Jones the other. After that you have Bynum, Osborne, Spiker, Taj, and hopefully Rome, Jalen, and Racanelli. He could beat out all those guys but he might not.
This is the way things are going to go from now on with pretty much every successful power 5 team having a handful of kids leave every year because they think they can break through somewhere else.

U call furd, cal, and Oregon loses a successful year??
We are program that is regressing because coach is not promoting meritocracy and accepting mediocrity with his players and his coaches

This staff is clearly dysfunctional.

They have totally wasted the talents of Chico.

I am frankly disturbed by Mr. excellence Pete.

Over the last 4 years, we've been the most successful team in the pac 12 on the field and one of the top in recruiting. Things like this dont work in 1 year vacuums.

Honestly Chico has no wiggle and rarely breaks tackles. There was an end around last week where he effectively tackled himself by poor body positioning.
