Dowdell to Kentucky
- Thread starter HBK4life
- Start date
First southern school to offer after he mistakenly ventured north out of high school
I, for one, am shocked
And I also unfortunately think he will be missed

Gotta wonder when Kentucky decided to tamper with Dowdell....before or after we got their WR coach....
Kentucky is in the SEC, but Lexington is far from being in the south. He'll find out next winter.
No…he will find out in January when he “enrolls “ for classes.
I'm guessing by Rhule's comments before
If we’re unable to upgrade through the portal or through developing the other guys, we’ve got bigger problems.
Someone in here assumed he is transferring because it is cold here. And last year Nebraska was his only option to transfer to.
Chime in all you want it's an open forum I am just catching up. No gotcha questions just wondering.
I went to College in Kentucky. It gets cold as hell there. The weather explanation is just bizarre.
Perhaps he is just dumb. Never met him so I couldn’t say, but it seems like a good explanation
Why does it seem like a good explanation? Kentucky can get very cold in the winter. Snow, ice, wind … the whole winter thing. Seems ludicrous therefore to say that Dowdell is transferring to a warm weather school. Because he isn’t. And to just dismiss this fact by saying “maybe he is just dumb” is itself rather dumb. You are claiming the kid might be stupid just so you can salvage the stupid cold weather argument, which, by the way, has zero supporting evidence.
If you watched Rhule’s press conference yesterday, and believe what he was saying, Dowdell left for one primary reason - more money.

True dat. I lived in Knoxville for a brief time, which is just a bit south of Lexington, and it wasn’t exactly Florida weather there.
Dowdell is much better when the QB takes the snap from under center and he can have a full head of steam coming to the line. If Dana scraps the under center stuff (I hope not), Dowdell really just becomes an average back since his weaknesses become more of an issue.
Average was a nice step up for us this year
Hope we can replace him with someone better
Can someone quote what Dowdell said in regards to cold weather here?
Not what someone UP HERE claimed he said, but what he actually said?
I can't find it.

He hasn’t said anything publicly about his decision, I don’t believe
