'16 AZ DE Jonathan Kongbo UT Signee 2/3/16

[Weezer]

If he goes elsewhere, I hope it's somewhere closer to home for him. The idea of losing him hurts, but if it happens, I'd prefer it not be to Bama or FSU.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

An OLBer that made it in after the 2nd semester of summer sessions? I fail to see the parallels.

I'm not sure either. Just thinking out loud I guess.

 

[LaagerVol]

Beast 4-3 DE all the way. I think he is a tweener in a 3-4. Too big for OLB but would need to add weight to be DE in that scheme. Also there aren't as many big money 3-4 DEs in the league. It's usually the OLB in a 3-4 or the DE in a 4-3 that get the big contracts.

 

[Weezer]

I want this young man in Tennessee Orange, desperately. Maybe he busts, but his tangibles scream great football player.

 

[m1al]

Getting closer to signing day I see..

 

[butchna]

I think we should just generally panic...in case we miss something.

I hope recruits stay off our boards.

Why? Don't you think they'd be as entertained as we are?

So who are the 4 5* we are going to land??

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

So who are the 4 5* we are going to land??

Kongbo, Brown, Hardman, Guarantano.

 

[KINGSVOL]

I am not an insider, BUT, me thinks CBJ has a 5th 5* up his sleeve! Just wait til after some INTERESTING coaching changes after the bowl season!

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Kongbo, Brown, Hardman, Guarantano.

JG got his fifth star? Thats cool. Brown and Hardman? I personally dont see either signing here but I hope they do. Kongbo? I am 50/50 on him. So for me, I dont see a top 5 class this year and I am fine with that. I think we finish somewhere between 10-20.

nevermind

Large, small, in between, a 20 ranked class is going backwards and will show up in 2 or 3 years. No excuse for a class ranked 15th or below. As a side note I think Butch signs a class that is 12 at the worst.

Whats with people and the no excuses comments? You do realize that guys have a mind of their own right? You can bring a horse to water but you cannot make him drink. A class that finishes 15-20 wouldnt be that bad.

 

[Catbone]

I'll be disappointed outside of 15th. Likely means we had misses on most of the key targets

Actually no one will know what kind/rank of class for two years.

Signed Derek Dooley..... Couldn't resist

Hope we don't slip backwards and fall outside the top 15....some are ok with "its just a down year".... this staff is too new to have a "down year" and I see the same teams in the top 10 just about every year. If we are going to really take that step to the next level, we need to be landing consecutive top 10-15 classes every year. We are in the mix for a lot of really good kids, so we could close strong and hover around the 10 mark... we need to keep Kongbo and sign Brown and/or Hardman and we will be there (Warrior would have to sign as well)
