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

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Still don't care.

 

[Orange And Garnet]

There was something that made him commit in the first place. If he doesn't find that feeling anywhere else then I don't see why we wouldn't be there front of the pack. I don't blame him for opening up. I still don't think we get him but if we do it will be one of Butch's best.

I'm thinking so as well, may have been a plan in place here.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

That's about right �� just do not care. Other than I hope he ends up out west. Do not want him at Bama.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

What plan?

Your favorite publication the AJC.

Your favorite publication the AJC.

Home of the Bulldogs recruiting .com. Just a little bit different than the KNS and Tennessee recruiting. I realize that there are not as many D1 recruits in the Knoxville area vs the number of recruits in the Atlanta area.

 

[delfonic]

Only in Manitowoc County, WI

Spoilers!!!!

It's obviously not alphabetical, so I'll take being first as a plus.

Just hope he doesn't think it is alphabetical...

Jonathan Allen returning for his senior year at Alabama could have some major impact in this recruitment. Alabama posters on Rivals have commented that they think Kongbo most likely will sign with UT now. TIFWIW.

 

[Vols4us]

A close that included him, Dickerson and Warrior among others that included a quality WR would shore everything up with this class.

Kongbo, Brown, Dickerson, Warrior, and a WR = dream finish

We'll definitely be top 10 with that finish.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Once again...other than class ranking, how does Kongbo shore up anything? DE doesn't need "shored up" it is the strongest part of our team. I hope if we get this guy, he really is everything he is made out to be. If he is, he is likely gone after one year anyway.

I think what he means is, we will lose Barnett next year and he ( kongbo)will be here at least two years.

Again...

Brown
Warrior
Dickerson
Mykel Jones (picked a WR)
Kongbo
Woods

All included would still not have been a top 10 class last year... But would be a great finish for us

But are they the "insiders" that are posting that? I hope we get him too, just wondering the "quality" of posters (if there is such a thing there) that said that.

I don't care about 247 and its weird scoring system.

On rivals and espn (which only count the top 20), that would be good for top 10.

 

[RockyTopJewel]

He obviously likes Tennessee. IMO I think we are still in the running mostly because of the Shoop hire. He tweeted about loving the hire as well as a great home visit from him. I just don't see why Bama. That boy is going to ride the bench for most of his eligibility.

It's called rotational depth. If we had any, we would have only lost 1 game this year.

We are not yet as good as we need to be at defensive end.

 

[AV_12]

We are elite at DE

 

[CrunchingTheVolz]

We are not yet as good as we need to be at defensive end.

We could have three 5 star SDEs, three 5 star WDEs, and two more of each committed to the next class and fans would still be saying we need more depth. There is a very good chance Kongbo would not play at UT or bama much if at all his first year.
