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

[tn4elvis]

Put 15lbs on this kid and he can dominate anywhere on the D line....

I think he will wind up inside.He will gain 20 lbs easily when he gets to Knox.

 

[Catbone]

I think someone needs to pay off a bet... GBO

Yikes.. ok give me a minute I'm setting up the Webcam

 

[QuickSmurf]

that's the plan

That's good news. He will no doubt be more multiple than Weatherd and used more.

Ehhhh he's better suited in the edge.

6'6 is a solid frame to add 10-15 lbs & still play around 270 & not lose any speed.

 

[volfanCLT]

This allow Taylor to stay around 230 and be a combo player

Pretty sure Taylor is already up to about 245. Dude will be a terror.

No no noooo!

 

[loggervol]

Ole Miss cannot admit that they paid it, so... yes.

 

[i2amavol]

Does he have 3 years to play 3?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Just want to say I am glad to be dead wrong about Kongbo. I thought it was Ole Miss and we had no shot. Just goes to show how much I know .

I cannot freakin wait for the season to start and see this team take the field. Its a great day to be a Tennessee Vol!

 

[VolnJC]

Does he have 3 years to play 3?

Yeah he RSed at Wyoming then 1 year at JUCO

 

[VolnJC]

So what was the backstory here? Was he Ole Miss and we turned him today?

 

[Spirit_of_98]

How many seasons do we have with Konbgo, Desmond Henderson, Alexis Johnson, and Jef George?

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Loads of talent at the DE position. Gonna be hard to keep em all happy. Barnett, Vereen, Phillips, Kongbo, Taylor, Lewis, Smith, Butcher

 

[LouderVol]

Late to the party but BOOM!!!

 

[engineerVOL]

So what was the backstory here? Was he Ole Miss and we turned him today?

Yes Barton Simmons' story is the dad basically didn't want him at UT. Today the barrage of skype calls and tweets from our players telling him to follow his heart pushed him to us.

 

[BurninOrange]

So what was the backstory here? Was he Ole Miss and we turned him today?

Yes. Credit Kamara and Maybin on this along with an assist from Barnett. He was all set and then started listening to those guys and wound up signing with us despite his father wanting him at Ole Miss

 

[GreenvilleSCVol]

This was on Kongbo's jersey for the announcement. Anyone know the significance of it?

It makes you wonder if the family did take money?..because I know Freeze can't be that damn likable that you would try to force your son to go to a school that wasn't his fave

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Maybe some kind of Tribal totem?

Rorschach test?

I have tried to find this out as well. And all I can gather is that there indeed was a possible bagman and an undisclosed amt passed to the family but the son wanted to attend UT more than Ole Miss.
