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

[UT_King]

Remember, Ole Miss wasn't even being considered until like 4 weeks ago lol

Same thing for us with Byrd... doesn't mean anything.

lmao, you don't believe me look it up yourself, NCAA can make its own rules and that is one. It is called google, use it before you make yourself look dumb.

I stand corrected. U are correct

 

[volatil]

am I wrong to infer that by taking Williams were out of it for Kongbo?

Then why are some media reporting we attempting to get him to delay if we don't have room?

 

[Aesius]

It's kind of blowing my mind when I see people say we don't "need" Kongbo.

Depth is the reason we're not on an elite level yet. After Barnett & Vereen leave this year, we'll have Phillips, Taylor, & Mixon. I'm confused why we don't need Kongbo?

There will be highly rated JUCO DEs next year too.

And the parents never even visited OM. Writing is on the wall.

 

[BruinVol]

Why do you say that?? Its every bit just as likely that the parents want Ole Miss and he wants UT but doesn't want to disappoint the parents. IDK what the culture is like in the Congo but this decision may be completely out of his hands.

Vq has said we want him to wait


Hoping a kid is going to wait is never a good thing. Sure we could change the course but the course has clearly been shown or we wouldn't want him to wait

Send in the hookers

It's the same for us with Byrd, he literally flew out of left field beginning of January. I was thinkin how did we just now offer and get in with this top rated DB with a month to go. (Basically Coach Scott was the winner and CFA.)

It happens.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I hope Williams turns out to be the most underated 2* in the history of rankings.

Dave?

IMO steward is the spot at in jeopardy

Kongbo signs and he is out

 

[bowlinggreenvol]

Not good if he sticks to that timing

USC based on that picture. 55 is their "historic" number they offer to LB's. They promised that number to Lamar Dawson and it was a big selling point for him.

There's a little different dynamic going on with Byrd though.

We hired his lead recruiter, bog difference.

That's not correct

Kongbo announcement at 4pm EST

Whoa, he did? Then I guess he must be an actual Birdman. Impressive.

 

[The Breakerboy]

There will be highly rated JUCO DEs next year too.

We also have hybrid Austin Smith who's a huge LB/DE. We'll be fine at DE. Would rather have Brown than Kongbo personally.

Byrd was being mentioned on VQ in late November

Moved again?

 

[Aesius]

I hope Williams turns out to be the most underated 2* in the history of rankings.

Only a 2* on Rivals. ESPN has him as a 4*, and he's almost a 4* on 247.

 

[FearlessFreep]

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this one out: Parents have been paid to deliver him to Ole Miss and thus that's exactly what they're going to do. It rarely gets to this late before resolution, but this appears to be one of those cases.

This thread: Never has so much been said by so many who know so little.

That's correct, but SEC Mike isn't a source. It's like quoting Sabannochio
