One of country's top athletes tweets "Blessed to get an offer from Vandy"

This is a 5-star athlete who is ranked by one service as the No. 13 player in the nation, and who already has an incredible offer list... he plays at IMG Academy in Florida.

Says "commitment coming soon." Any info on if we've visited or if he's come to us?

Cool in a sense, but zero expectations. M’Pemba even tacked on a generic #gocommodores. Not an AnchorDown or something more relevant. Still, nice to see Lea/staff targeting high profile players. And any publicity is good publicity (unless it involves scandal, of course). Obviously it’d be great if he committed for myriad reasons, chief among them the obligatory post to establish the pronunciation of his name!

35+ P5 offers, visited a bunch of schools not named Vandy. Me thinks he is just being polite

Sure, you need a little more to go on before fans should get appropriately excited. But at this point it's just nice to see a big fish being offered, and him recognizing it.

As for the "commitment coming soon", that was printed in October, and this is January, so commitment is probably not imminent.
