Kongbo Down to 4 & no UW

Saw some speculation from Tennessee fans that Kongbo might visit UW instead of FSU next weekend. He's currently on a trip to USC. This guy is handling recruiting about as bad as you possibly could. I won't trust anything with this guy until the LOI is signed and faxed in.

Highest potential for a Terrence Jones type situation I have seen in a while.

Jordan Payton was worse

Whatever with this kid. It seems like he'd have major problems picking where to eat dinner, let alone a college. I know, I know, I never bash the kids. But he doesn't seem too bright. I swear a fucking toddler is more sure of what he wants. Now that we have Luc Richard Mbah a Onwuziukea...next.

Why isn't he bright? Him and his family aren't going to give a fuck about some trivial NCAA rules when they are getting duffle bags of cash. Their ignorance is pure bliss. Nobody will get caught because the SEC programs have it down. If he's actually good at football he will go to the NFL no matter where he goes.

For the Tennessee faithful in the audience, it appears you can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

On National Signing Day eight days ago, UT received a commitment from Jonathan Kongbo, one of the top junior college prospects in this year’s recruiting class. While Kongbo had committed to the Vols, he hadn’t yet sent the university a signed National Letter of Intent binding him to the football program; that meant other programs could continue to pursue the highly sought after defensive end.

Any ongoing pursuit from rival schools has unofficially come to an end, however, as Wes Rucker of 247Sports.com, citing a source close to the player’s recruitment, is reporting that Kongbo has indeed sent his signed NLI to the university. The delay reportedly involved Kongbo’s father.

Kongbo had signed the letter, but his father had not. Tennessee was able to announce him as a signee because he had signed his financial aid agreement.

Kongbo told SEC Country earlier this week that his father was out of town and he was waiting for him to return to sign and send the letter.

Rivals.com rated Kongbo as a five-star prospect coming out of Arizona Western Community College in Yuma. Not only that, but both Rivals and 247Sports’ composite rankings had the lineman rated as the No. 1 JUCO prospect in the country.

In addition to UT, Alabama, Florida State, Ole Miss and USC were finalists for the 6-6, 260-pound end.
