Excellent!

Either that or he is extremely impressionable

 

[m1al]

Gonna be a West coast boy...

Bama fan told me that they have gotten 3 CBs today. Sounds like Kongbo changes his mind a lot. UT still in this one.

If he does go to that corrupt place then the distance talk was untrue

Ya don't say?!?! 😉

 

[RockyTopJewel]

From recent posts he seems to be high on the hire of Shoop. I'm hoping that is enough to persuade him

 

[seaofORANGE22]

Taking that with a grain of salt

I'm gonna take it with a sain of grand thank you very much.

 

[Face]

Really hope this relationship can get reignited and he remembers why he committed in the first place. We'll get to watch shoops recruiting prowess work here.

"Coach Shoop gets it"

Shoop followed Kongbo..think this one is over though...USC offer to a west coast kid is usually a game changer

Bob Shoop followed Jonathan Kongbo III

I don't know about that. USC is in a state of flux, right now. They just hired their interim HC, Helton, and going 8-6, with a loss in their bowl game. Nah, they aren't the big fish they once were.

How often do recruits decommit from a school but then recommits to the same school?

I know AJ Johnson did.

It just happened a few weeks ago. LB Rashaun Smith committed to Clemson at the Under Armour game after decomitting earlier.

He has been the epitome of class.

How dare he be grateful and consider his incredible opportunities for a scholarship

The most unfortunate aspect of rabid vol fandom is forgetting that recruits are human beings with still-developing brains.

Swain just said that he heard that Kongbo may not get into school. Like may not qualify. TIFWIW

Yeah, but Swain's not been putting up qualifying scores lately, check his stats.

I do not recall this. I remember him considering following Chief to A&M but ultimately stuck with us.

Actually LSU had a very good chance WITH Chief. When he defected, he tried to lure Martin to College Station...Martin wasn't interested. Chavis recruiting for the Aggies during that window is a big part of LSU's lawsuit. But yeah, Martin decommitted...we BROUGHT IT UP on here. :wink2:

Incorrect. He was never publicly committed to us. There was a quote from his coach that made it sound like he was committed, so we assumed he was a silent.

How is Kongbo a drama queen? I'm sure the kid is trying to do the best for him and hos family.

Well WE REACTED like he had decommitted...thought he did a Twitter post that brought the "What is going on" threads galore...which definitely ties in to Kongbo.
