The players will love Chris Lowery. I went to school with him and he's a good guy. I think he's a good hire if true. Wasn't he on the short list for HC back when we hired Frank? He's nothing to throw a coach under the bus about.

Everyone knows if you bring in two guys who are proven losers with lots of experience they will start winning.

This was right after he took SIU to the Sweet 16 in his third year. He has since firebombed their program into obscurity.

He was also a TIC candidate, one we made fun of on KSUfans.

Can he recruit? If not, meh. Weber is a SLTH/X's and O's type coach. No need for another one on the staff. Why are the tucks excited about this guy?

I mean, let's just fill this thing out with Doc and like Rich Zsovec.

KState didn't just get Weber (Bubbles). This is a package deal. KState also will be receiving Jay Price and Pimp Daddy McClain. And hopefully, Bubbles prized recruiting class.

And Chris Lowery if Jerrace Howard takes a different assisstant job or stays at Illinois.

Yes, the same Lowery who ran off every good player he recruited, the Lowery who threw every Saluki player under the bus, and the same Lowery who took SIU from the Sweet 16 and almost beating KU there to the basement of the Valley and 8-23. I'm sure OrangePurpleKrush is defending this hire if it happens, and it probably will happen.

Meanwhile, OrangePurpleKrush is getting fired upon on IlliniHQ.

Good luck EMAW's! Looks to me like most of you have the correct strategy by pushing for Currie to go immediately.

Given that he hasn't had a winning record at Southern Illinois since 2007-2008, I doubt he can recruit all that well. And the 'tucks are probably excited about the guy because he reminds them of Bill Cosby, the gold standard for non-threatening black males.

yosh · « **Reply #15 on:** April 01, 2012, 06:50:15 PM »

disappointing. Hope that means no McClain though. That guy sounds like a waste of space. Price is listed as the lead recruiter for Hill...don't know if that means anything or not, but I would assume Price is coming, and the third guys will be "K-State ties" guy.

_Fan has to be super excited that finally, HIS guy is in manhattan.

youchooseausername · « **Reply #17 on:** April 01, 2012, 06:55:50 PM »

Nice hire. Lowery knows how to run a program... into the ground.

But seriously, number of conference wins in last five years at SIU:

11 (07-08)
8
6
5
5 (11-12)

Lowery did to SIU what Weber did to Illinois.

Lowery was an assistant under Weber at Illinois for one year. Probably the best explanation for it.

I was going to say more, but looks like you guys are on the ball.

yosh · « **Reply #21 on:** April 01, 2012, 06:59:06 PM »

Both Lowery and Weber won their respective leagues first year on the their previous jobs. Looks like a conference title is a lock next year!

Of course he can't recruit. He had a losing record in each of his last four seasons in the Valley. Remarkable that he wasn't fired sooner.

We are going to X's and O's the crap out of some people.
