Where did you see this? Has there been an updated roster released?

 

[jauk11]

We don't know a lot about the quality yet (I think it is very good) but there is no doubt about the quantity of our OL recruits.

 

[JC CATS]

They are huge!

Size isn't the only determining factor on quality OL. Over the years we've had plenty of big OL. Not nearly enough who could play.

 

[Dallas-Wild]

Watkins, Dolcine and Dotson are sophomores.

RS Freshmen right?

 

[Oldtrainer]

RS Freshmen right?

^^Believe so.^^

 

[Rembrandt90]

RS Freshmen right?

Right.

 

[502cats]

RS Freshmen right?

Not according to the roster on this site, It has them listed as sophomores.

 

[502cats]

Strange. UKathletics.com has the three listed as RS freshmen but if you go to the top of this page and click on football and then roster it has them as sophomores.

 

[JHannibalSmith]

Wow, Kinnard’s weight seems high. If that is correct then he has put on 40+ lbs since signing. He was listed at 315 as a recruit. Surely, he’s not really 357.

I rarely trust the roster on Rivals. It has been out of date more times than I can remember over the years.

I was also surprised there is an updated roster since the coaches reportedly didn't distribute one at SEC Media Days.

Thanks for all of those who replied above to clarify the location of the roster.

Yea trust UK Athletic site on this one.....some damn big boys though.

 

[mrschwump]

What's Horsey's status?

 

[Deeeefense]

What's Horsey's status?

raring to go

 

[cat888]

The new redshirt rule may help with depth and getting the true frehmen some experience..

They are RS frosh.

You are correct. Ever since they started sending you to Yahoo sports it has absolutely sucked. Doesn't even show a depth chart. I don't know if it's Rivals or Cats Illustrated that made that call but they made a horrible decision.

 

[RV2]

Watkins, Dolcine and Dotson are sophomores.

No. They are red shirt Freshmen.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Lots of collard greens and ham hocks on those training tables

 

[mrschwump]

No. They are red shirt Freshmen.

True, for some strange reason UK's roster lists by academic year instead by athletic eligibility.

 

[mrschwump]

raring to go

So Horsey's been released to participate after open heart surgery??

 

[RV2]

That's because they are in their Sophomore academic year but are only Freshmen in eligibility. They get those things mixed up sometimes which creates confusion with fans.

That and getting rid of their recruiting profiles. I always came to Rivals for recruiting but not anymore.

I don't know his status that was just my pathetic attempt at humor:

This idiom uses raring for rearing, and alludes to a horse's standing on its hind legs when it is anxious to get moving.

Sorry but when you have to explain the joke it kinda loses its humorous edge.

No, I caught that, "liked" it as it were. Just hoping the guy can return to playing status, disappointed none of the crack KY sports media haven't followed up on his story. Thanks.

Dotson is gonna be a hoss.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

Dotson is gonna be a hoss.

In HS, he was tall and lean. Now that he has greater mass, it will be interesting to see what we hear. Of course, those numbers don’t speak directly to strength.

 

[seccats04]

Dotson is gonna be a hoss.

He looked very good in the BW game. But I was hoping he would be at OT because we don't have a lot of depth there.

 

[Deeeefense]

You're right but that's the only way I could answer his question.

 

[TNTUK]

They didn’t play last year. They are RS Freshman this fall.

 

[Cats-Cats-Cats]

We probably have more quality depth than we’ve ever had there. Young, Price, Asafo-Adjei, Watkins, Kinnard, and Lewis.

Much more to it than being big of course. Do the have a solid base? Do they have the strength for the position? Do they have the quickness to get off the LOS to block LBs? Just a few of the things needed to be an effective SEC OL.

 

[Rembrandt90]

Doubtful.

No doubt. I made no conclusions. That said, 240 with great quickness and technique won’t cut it in the SEC.

All very true. Also, OL newcomers usually need at least a year or two of learning about footwork and balance. But the bigger question is whether the freshman will even get onto the field. The depth chart is mostly manned by older players just as big. I can see Watkins and Dolcine possibly winning roles on the playing chart by October. The other freshmen won't, and Horsey is recovering from heart surgery.
