Multiple sources told Rebels247 Monday night that Arizona Western Community College defensive tackle Jonathan Kongbo has not signed a letter of intent to Tennessee as reported. Those sources say that Kongbo only signed a Financial Aid Agreement with the Volunteers last Wednesday. That Financial Aid Agreement is non-binding on the part of the recruit and allows Kongbo to continue to be recruited by other schools. Ole Miss was thought to be the leader to land Kongbo's signature heading into National Signing Day.

Did Tennessee announce it?


Edit: looks like they did. Would be strange for a school to not check if it was the NLI or the financial aid.

Go get him Garner. Garner is the worst DL coach in Anerica, let's see if he can really recruit.

Callahan hinting it is true.

Financial Aid agreement only which is how UT can mention him by name, etc.

If I'm this kid I would not sign an LOI. There is no need for it. Take the John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, etc. route and only sign a financial aid agreement.

Why would Tennessee report that they don't have it? Do they really want to advertise that the top JUCO is still open and recruitable?

You're also taking a risk by mentioning him if you only have financial aid papers. If he flips elsewhere, you get popped with a violation.

The kid has been tweeting pro Tennessee stuff for over a week, this would be craziness if true.

Butch trolling Hugh by letting him further pursue this young man before crushing his spirits yet again?

Hugh has gone home and worked on his African prayer rituals and is asking for a 2nd shot

Eta: I do know for a fact that Kongbo's dad does not like Butch. Kongbo himself does. I think it's just a matter of time before he signs with UT.

Well, Butch didn't offer him a job in the agricultural department contingent upon Kongbo's signature.

Not sure what Butch offered but I did see an ad on Oxford's Craiglist - For sale: 1 heavily used djembe drum and 12 salty prayer candles.
Just saying....

He confirmed he has not signed his NLI and signed a FAA, but said he's in the process of getting the NLI signed.

He said he's all Vol and that won't change.

For those asking, Tennessee can announce anyone that signs a FAA or anyone that's accepted into school (that's how they announce walk ons).


P. Fort update from around 7 this morning. David Johnson with a swing and a miss yet again
