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

Losing him and DCG hurts really bad...

DCG is the worse loss. IMO

DE is the least of my concern with our current team.

 

[engineerVOL]

At least he's still considering us unlike 'stach. But odds are against us.

 

[BowlBrother85]

As long as no DE transfers we will be fine at this position

He would have been a big help and contributed right away. This sucks. It does not pay much of an advantage to be ahead of the curve on recruits and gain early commitments that's for sure. Most of them don't think twice about de-committing once the vultures start circling.

Feeling frustrated. Oh, well.

 

[Jackcrevol]

he was never a committment iyam. good luck kid. just gonna be one of those years.

This hurts. DCG means nothing if we do land Brown.

 

[HialeahGator]

Southern California or Washington IMO.

Rivals West Coast guy said the USC offer was a game changer.

South Central is my guess as well.

 

[Cactus Jack]

I just find it so strange that now that our team is starting to really get the national hype and producing on the field that these players don't wanna come here anymore as compared to coming here when we were 5-7. Very discouraging but I'll reserve my judgement for signing day, as Butch has closed well the last 2 years and for now gets the benefit of the doubt.

 

[vavolfan6]

Let the freakout commence!! Gonna be a long wait until NSD...AGH!!!!

 

[InVOLuntary]

He is now decommitted

He hasn't been committed for some time.

It will take several years of sustained success on the field to reestablish ourselves as a national power.

 

[SoMissVol]

Oh well.

 

[SeanJean]

So predictable. Been waiting for this shoe to drop for a while.

 

[AstonRoyal]

So is Tony Clayton the only other end we're looking at to fill this position?

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

LATER alligator. Frees up room for a long term player

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

I'm glad he went ahead and publicly decommitted.

This place would be effing unbearable if he waited into signing day and flipped.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

recruiting has not been fun this yr

Not yet but there is hope.

 

[Ron Swanson]

Didn't want him anyway.

This.

 

[butchna]

Cue doomsday threads...or just use this one.

 

[Sin City Vol]

Just hope he stays on the west coast and away from the SEC.... Guy was never really committed, started looking around shortly after "committing"

Buchanan and Niehaus don't move the needle.. Gonna need a huge finish and that's looking bleak outside of maybe 2 guys

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

This is pretty annoying.

Warrior, Dickerson and Brown. I think we have a good shot at all 3. Even 2 of the 3 would be great.

 

[Vols4us]

Should make Kyle happier. Never made sense anyway.
