A Wyoming transfer who’s ranked the nation’s No. 1 junior-college player by 247Sports, the four-star defensive end from Arizona Western College in Yuma, Ariz., went to Ole Miss last month on his first official visit. He’s scheduled to visit Auburn the weekend of Nov. 21 and Tennessee the weekend of Nov. 28. Ole Miss and Washington have received predictions for Kongbo on the 247Sports Crystal Ball.

#1 juco prospect according to 247 so I think he would have to be legit. If we get him our DE rotation is gonna be sick.

That's a legit 7 man SEC rotation.

And Butch Jones was fairly noncommittal when asked recently if Curt Maggit might apply for a 6th year of eligibility.

If he happens to seek a 6th year, they will keep it very quiet until after NSD, so it doesn't affect recruiting.

It may be hard to do that. His absence from the NFL stuff would be telling. Isn't the combine before signing day? Can't remember. Also, I'm pretty sure you have to declare in January.

That was the stuff I was unsure about.

Yeah, from what I'm seeing, January 18th is the deadline to declare for the draft. Combine is the end of February.

Also, might we see Quay give up his #55 to get this guy in? Reminiscent of Reeves-Maybin for Kirkland? :)
