Justin, any indication UK is targeting any 2017 JUCO DTs/NTs? The DL is so thin one would think that even though the '17 class will offer limited scholarships, this would be an emphasis. TIA.

Provitt should be available for the 2017 class, right? He looked very explosive on film, and IIRC, I remember reading the staff was very high on him. Any word on how he's done in JUCO? Did he RS his first year (b/c that would obviously be best case scenario for his time/eligibility at UK)?

Don't think Provitt played last year, not sure where he is or what his status is. The so-called "experts" here are pretty mum. I'm hoping he went JUCO/prep and RSed and will show up at UK in the fall with 4 to play 4.

went to juco and rs'd. will play this year and have 3 to play 3.... and apparently the staff is still very much in contact with him or at least are keeping up with his academic progress, which will be the ultimate factor in him coming to UK i presume.

His (Jovan Provitt's) Twitter (@J_Provitt) is locked, but there's a pic of him on there wearing a UK hoody. He's walking with the Lackawanna starting QB.

From RV's post about spring practice/scrimmage:

DT
Meant
Taylor
Middleton
Ke Daniel

NT
Elam
Pringle
Hyde


RE
Miggens
Ke Daniel
Bell
Z Williams

and Dubose is sitting out.






The best thing about that DL is there is only ONE guy (Miggins) in the rotation who will graduate this year, so it looks promising for 2017 and beyond... especially when you add Looney & Cross.

Yep. If we get provitt back then he's got 3 to play 3. Looney will have 4 after a rs. So when Elam and Pringle graduate we should be pretty solid on the dline depth wise.

Hopefully we have Elam two more years. But if he has a big year this season, maybe not. I'd guess 70:30 he's back.
