with a name like that, obviously there can only be one Myck Kabongo... here's what it says.

he made a post where he said he played pg for st benedict's and they beat lincoln.
it can be nothing more than a prank but who knows....
-
Isn't the kid a soph at St. Benedict's?
-
yeah.
he's from canada. and if he's 17 (bday would have to be in jan) then maybe it makes sense since echinique had a similar situation (although he was a '90 person, so not really).
i found this very confusing. so i dont know.
-
Maybe it's just someone playing a prank or maybe it's a kid with the same name who is gonna be a walk on next year? Just doesn't make sense.
-
I thought they spoke English in Canada, and possibly in Jersey.
He sounds like a complete tool if it is him.
-
sounds like a prank... but a strange prank. kabongo's a 2011, as you said - how would he be able to qualify if he's only a HS sophomore? if he was a junior, I could see that possibly happening...
-
The kid already comitted to Texas as while back
-
he's still posting in the group. pretty long prank.
he sounds like a prick if it's him though. he tells me to stop asking him questions, when he's yet to answer one directly....
still don't believe him though. we'll see.
-
If he did actually commit to SJU, he seems like a really good player, 3rd ranked PG by scout in the 2011 class. It has to be fake, we dont get good players :/
-
he said he already signed.
i sent out a few emails. so i'll trust what they say
-
If this wasn't a prank, which I agree with you it likely is, it would be huge. Kabongo, from what I've read is actually a 2010 commit, but I guess with the international education you never know.
