April 30, 200718 yr Last i read was that we were waiting to visit him during the May evaluation period and basically get a face to face with him before an offer would be extended. Plus we could also be waiting to see how we are with are current offered D-Lineman
April 30, 200718 yr Prolly waiting to see how we are with Newman, Hafis Williams, Forston and Omar Hunter
April 30, 200718 yr id like to see this guy get an offer to get another guy on board. im sure he'd commit and he seems physically gifted. a year or two in our system working on techniques, he could be a powerhouse on our d-line.

NSD still far away... prolly better off waiting to see how we stand with our 1st 4 targets unless the staff feels Kabongo is a better fit... too early to give an offer just to get him on board, unless they feel he's worthy now CW I'm sure will explain if he falls under that and I'd hope the kid understands.. If he's truly WOW'd by us, I'd doubt he'd have a problem in waiting... There's gotta be a legit reason he has no offer at this time
April 30, 200718 yr agreed jerz, in past years it could have been from lack of effort finding out about guys. Not so with this staff.
April 30, 200718 yr I just hope that this isn't another example of us waiting for the top prize. This guy is a top 100 prospect (at least according to both Scout and Rivals). While I don't necessarily put a lot of stock in their rankings, it is clear to me that this guy has a ton of talent.
May 1, 200718 yr 4 star per scout.............also on the pre-evaluation top 100 per rivals. they have him listed as the top overall prospect in new england...........
May 1, 200718 yr A million things you can do with that name... kowabonga http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/H/htmlH/howdydoodys/howdydoodys.htm
May 1, 200718 yr I think that we should give this guys an offer, if he commits on the spot, great for him and ND. Also, maybe an offer/commit will light a little fire under guys like Newman and make them want to get on board while there's still room.
May 1, 200718 yr very true. If the bus starts to fill up, some might want to jump on board as soon as possible.
May 1, 200718 yr My first post here but belong to other ND recruitings sites under this name. Have been reading this board for a while and signed up like 2 monthes ago and just got my confirmation e-mail a couple of days ago if you can beleive that haha. Anyway i've seen this kids film and he looks promising and a good project. I agree with the fact that if he commited right away the pressure would turn to Newman hard and it might make him commit and it might scare him even more. I've heard from one defensive line recruit that Charlie & Co. want to take about 5 D-Lineman in this class....that is all.
May 1, 200718 yr Welcome to Domer Domain IrishKnight1023...nice first post! ND Fanatic I think that we should give this guys an offer, if he commits on the spot, great for him and ND. Also, maybe an offer/commit will light a little fire under guys like Newman and make them want to get on board while there's still room. With you on this. Nothing wrong with a positive push in a direction already headed...

Welcome to the board Irishknight, if another commit does scare Newman to another team, then I'd rather know in May than in Feb. Its not that I want to lose Newman, I like the kid alot, but I don't think we can/should withhold offers waiting either. If Kabongo is good enough for an offer, and it appears he is, then he should get one (assuming he qualifies academically) and let the cards fall where they may.
May 1, 200718 yr Totally agree fanatic. I would like to have them both but I would rather know early then late and be in the situation we were last year with Trattou.
