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

[RockyTopInBham]

I'd bet Kongbo visits USC on the 29th. He just started following all of their coaches on Twitter.

Could have changed from 11pm last night till now. I thought it was odd that he didn't have any details of the Alabama visit. But when I pushed he said he was going there this weekend, but obviously is not. He didn't say anything negative about Alabama, but he wasn't as gah-gah about them as I thought he would have been aver the Saban visit. We will see.

Warchant apparently said Washington, USC, and Oregon are in the running for the last visit. Not sure if that is new info or if Alabama could be getting the last visit now that he is going to FSU this weekend.

Something is fishy here...

I don't think Bama or he expected all of their guys to come back. So completely screwed up Sabans starter pitch

 

[Hens67]

Rumor found on TMB:
He needs 28 credits between now and the start of fall classes to qualify.

28 is not an insane number. 16 in the spring. 6 first summer term, 6 second summer term.

Not sure how much stock I put in this rumor. Didn't he initially qualify but redshirt at Wyoming? If so, aren't the JUCO requirements inapplicable?

Yeah, according to what those classes are...those summer miniterms can be hell

FSU on the 22nd
Bama on the 29th

Per Fortenberry

 

[engineerVOL]

Sounds like he's waited a bit too long to start taking tbis whole recruiting thing seriously. Seems more fluid than other prospects. Hope he is confident in Tennessee.

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

Yeah, I guess I was too anxious and thought that was a commit. I looked at more of his tweets and he's doing the coaching carousel...sorry guys.

Major derp on me

Vol Lady nods zer head in approval.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

After reading through this thread, my non expertise opinion is that this kid doesn't come here. And probably has trouble at whatever place he ends up. I'd love to be wrong on BOTH!

Shoop? More like Shmoobs... you know you're thinking it.

 

[QuickSmurf]

He canceled his Bama visit for this weekend and will visit FSU instead. He will visit Bama the final weekend. Ugh smdh

 

[volfaninpa]

Hopefully we can convince him that he's a better 4-3 defensive player than a 3-4 defensive player.

 

[MarkVols]

Don't count him out yet. He will be a stud.

 

[knucklehead_vol]

has Swain gotten anything right lately?

If this is true why is USC still going after him?

 

[BruinVol]

Meh...

Take him leave him. He doesn't hold our future in his Decision. Something just isn't right with this kid IMO anyway

Dat Congo connection...

per a source, one factor that may work in Tennessee's favor for Kongbo is Daniel Bituli. Apparently the Bitulis and the Kongbos are from the same area in the Congo and Bituli's father has been touching base with Kongbo's family giving them some piece of mind that they will be a strong support system for him at Tennessee.

I had assumed that the Kongbo ship had sailed when he decommitted from Tennessee. The more I hear, the more I think Tennessee remains in a good spot.

Butch blessed the rains down in Aaaaaafrica!!! 🎤🎼

We really need this guy
