Uh, shouldn't they be looking for a new head coach & staff instead of signing players?
My favorite Kongbo story
Jonathan Kongbo is a highly recruited, five star defensive end from Canada (presently at Arizona Western CC) whom the Rebs wanted desperately, particularly after they found out that five star Jeffery Simmons had signed with State.

The Rebs, and particularly RebelGrove247, lost it when they found out later in the afternoon that Kongbo had signed with Tennessee. If the post below accurately describes Hugh Freeze's efforts to sign Kongbo, then we can see the lengths to which the Rebs will go to sign five star talent. Not only that but the Reb poster has the audacity to question the faith of Kongbo's parents because their son signed with UT instead of Ole Miss.
Most of you know that CHF is "Coach Hugh Freeze." Most of you also know that the "Jones" referred to in the post is Coach Butch Jones, head coach at UT. What you almost certainly do not know is that Djembe
is a term referring to African drums: Djembe Drums Landing Page
According to the Reb poster Hugh Freeze flew to Canada to visit Kongbo's parents and took with him on the airplane African prayer candles and Djembe. With those items Freeze spent more than an hour praying with Kongbo's parents according to the Reb poster.
Tennessee's legendary broadcaster John Ward @RoughSack has had a lot of fun with this on hisTwitter page. https://twitter.com/RoughSack
Enjoy this post by a typical Ole Miss fan who apparently thinks this is an acceptable recruiting tactic by his head football coach.
