I have no idea about what's on his mind. The only thing I know is that he looks unhappy when he is on the field. That could be for a myriad of reasons but something is up with him.
He starts , got the NIL to come back and will be on all conference teams . He’s in a better spot than 98% of CFB players , and humans in general . If he’s not happy , there’s likely not much you can do
Don't know where you get the unhappy thing, he was dancing around to the PA music last night. Even the SECN talking heads mentioned it.
though some may not like being on a "below average" conference team... Look at how many jumped ship from Vandy last year...
Don't have any insider info, just speculating about human nature....
Hope he stays... as he's the most valuable D-fensive player we have...
He looked happy, and focused to me...
To me, “the grass is not always greener” means he sure isn’t transferring.
He nearly dominates in this system and is featured every Saturday …announcers talk about him constantly . He’s on TV every week . I’d say he comes back , has a big yr and declares . He’s got the NIL flowing , they say
He is the focal point of the defense, a team Captain, gets a high NIL and will be an All-American next season. WHY in the world would he transfer????
He has one more year until he is a 1st round draft pick. Going to a higher profile program would mean he has to SHARE the spotlight with others. At UK he is KING!!! Can't see him leaving.
But, in this day and age, NOTHING surprises me with young people.

He could play anywhere and I wouldn’t blame him or be surprised if he's not at a top program next year.
Despite losing, he looked pretty darn happy last night, he was dancing and jumping with a huge smile on his face at one point. Announcers even mentioned how they’d be dancing too if nobody could block them. So not sure where you get he looks unhappy.
He probably tweeted that because Justin Rogers transferred to Auburn and they lost to NMSU....

Great point, spot on I’d say…
lol what? No he doesn’t look unhappy. Where you get that?
He was beastly Saturday. He's a stud and will have a nice pro career awaiting him. We need this dude back next season.
I suspect he earned some AA votes against USCe!!
Really need him back next year. You could probably argue he is the best player on the team right now.
Josh Allen, Oliver Barnett, Dennis Johnson, Jeremy Jarmon, Myron Pryor, Corey Peters, all in the last 25-30 years.
The best defensive lineman to ever play here. I saw him hit a Wingback from Vandy so hard I thought the kid might be dead,completely unconcious. A perfect mix of size,strength and speed
Being that he earned nearly 20 million playing in the NFL, we have a different opinion of what is a bust. He did get hurt and traded, but had several solid years in New York, and was good enough to get a big contract in Denver. Realize, the average NFL career is about 3.2 years for a defensive lineman, and he played for 6, I think he did fine.
He had a solid rookie year and got hurt and was role player while he played out his rookie contract. He did manage to get a 5 year, 24 million contract extension on the trade to Denver. This was in 2008 and Denver cut him less than a year later. He was out of football at that point, didn’t collect fully on that extension as a result and I’m not trying to pile on the man, but when the number 4 pick has that kind of career, right or wrong, you’re considered a bust. It is what it is
Jerry Reese and Jerry Bell were both underrated defensive tackles at Kentucky and have to be mentioned when talking about some of the best defensive lineman to ever play here.
Anybody remember Richard Jaffe, David Roller, Bobby Winkel??
Sure do, they were all outstanding, especially Jaffe, smallest nose guard ever. One of the toughest too, it seems like he was in on every tackle when he played.
Yep, thought about Roller the other day. he was just about playing 1 vs 11 in those days and still had QB's shaking in their cleats
I saw Jerry Bell when playing for Desales split his helmet during a game. I had heard he did it numerous time in high school.
Maybe.
Josh Allen is the most decorated/awarded player in UK history, but perhaps all the awards he won were unavailable for Still in 1977?
Both Still and Allen (and Robertson) took over some games.
I listened live to Cawood's call of the road win at LSU with WKYT's Rob Bromley turned down.
"Kentucky blocks the field goal . . . Still is returning it with LSU chasing . . . MY GOD, what could they do if they caught him?"
Any Kentucky list of great Defensive linemen must include the least popular of all: Lou Michaels.
He was a dominant football player, and a two-time All American.
He was also mentally unstable, and only his brother could "handle" him when he went off, a frequent problem that required his brother being summonsed from Pennsylvania several times during Lou's time on campus.
In 1957, a thug from Ohio drove to the UK campus, having heard there was a gent there meaner than the thug.
My cousin (and many others) saw Michaels bite the ear off the thug from Ohio on a public street on campus.
Here's an old newspaper article about "old mean Lou." The best story is the last: he challenged a player on his own Colt's team to a fight, on a long-distance flight at 31,000 feet, asking him "to step outside." His potential opponent thought about it for a second, and said, "after you!"
