In a major shake-up in college basketball, Jaland Lowe — one of the ACC’s breakout stars — has officially announced his transfer from Pittsburgh to Kentucky. After a standout sophomore season, where he averaged 16.8 points, 5.5 assists, and 4.2 rebounds per game, Lowe is heading to Lexington to join Mark Pope’s rising Wildcats squad.
Lowe’s decision to enter the transfer portal with a “Do Not Contact” tag sparked immediate speculation, and now it’s clear why — he already had blue blood dreams in mind. Kentucky, fresh off a major coaching transition and aggressive recruiting push, just landed one of the most polished guards on the market.
The former All-ACC third-team selection isn’t just another name in the portal. Lowe made history at Pitt by recording a rare triple-double and was a consistent floor general throughout the season. His court vision, leadership, and scoring ability make him an immediate impact player at Kentucky — and a likely SEC star from day one.
Though Lowe hasn’t released a statement yet, his decision speaks volumes: he’s ready for the national spotlight, and Kentucky is building something big. With a top-three transfer class and momentum surging under Coach Pope, the Wildcats just became must-watch TV this fall.
