Thanks for posting. Love actual facts and not the constant childish back and forth from some on here.
Big Z ineligible?
- Thread starter GoToTexas
- Start date
Of course. I agree. I’d say that’s a two way street though. Like the Cal defenders, there are MJ defenders who rush to his aid at even mild/warranted criticism.
I usually only do that when people spread 2nd and 3rd hand info that's wrong. People that don't even listen to the show, saying Matt said this or that, when it didn't happen. I try to be transparent.
Not just about this topic. MANY topics are absolutely trashed. Well it's looking like even this topic was trashed and bashed a little over zealously without any true facts to support it as for sure. That's the problem, many situations are only a possibility but ran with as definite. Pay attention, they are not hard to miss. Not calling any ONE poster out, they know who they are.
Is he going to get a 247 ranking?
I saw Johnny Furphy from Kansas is the 34th ranked recruit. UCLA kid got a ranking as well.

So once again, Matt Jones jumps the gun on a story with rumor and innuendo, and it ends up working out perfectly fine and he just got the fan base riled up for nothing.
When is enough going to be enough with those clowns.
It's literally all they do. They get info from second and 3rd hand sources and just lob a super vague statement at the end of their radio show to get attention.
Jack Pilgrim is the only one over there with any real connections
Gotta get listeners to tune in again tomorrow. Glad it sounds like it will work out. I’ll be interested to see if big Z gets a ranking now from 24/7 like the KU poster asked. The other players got one. Maybe after it’s official and he’s on campus.

I honestly wonder sometimes if Cal puts something out there that he knows is false for the sole purpose of putting egg on Matt's face.
I'd respect that so much if he did.
I just don't get it. MJ simply reports what he hears and if he’s wrong, he says he's wrong. He’s just a regular guy doing a show for our benefit.
I don't get the outrage. Seems extremely petty.

jeff you are not that dumb, even though you having/feeling the need to constantly argue makes you look that way
he is not doing a show for our benefit, he is doing it for his benefit (no intelligent person would argue that)
BBN would be fine without MJ
MJ would not be fine without BBN
there was a time i never missed his show
now he has become a complete joke
Cal doesn't give any information to Jones but I know who does and that person may put out false information but normally not so
I agree. Those who rail against don't like his political views so they try to trash him when they get the chance.
But hey, Matt Jones and his cryptic statements probably got his sophomoric website a bunch of hits.
And GoToTexas had the joy of injecting yet another seed of doubt, albeit that seed died just like most of them do...
I don't care about his politics. His style and arrogance have put me off for years. And then his teenage-acting staff and articles.
I am guessing Jones gets info from Pilgrim, wouldn't make sense any other way.
but Cal is all about helping people, he is just that kind of guy
Agree, my post was in jest of the Cal/Jones relationship. Cal has done a lot of good for many in need. Someone should point out to him that the UK basketball program could use a bit of help too
It is for our benefit and that’s how it all started, he’s a fan, just like we are.
Also, you're just as argumentative as I am, so take your own advice.
Makes no sense.

That’s what it boils down to. Nothing else makes sense. It’s a damn radio show that they don't have to listen to, but if the guy says one thing that isn't accurate, they blast him… but Cal, that guy can continue to drag our program under water, then hide while he cashes his paychecks, well that's okay.
It’s a shame we live in a hostage camp and you're being forced to listen to Matt Jones' show between 10am and noon.
I don’t agree with his political views but I could care less because he at least is a rational human. Most critics don’t like the abundance of nonsense that is talked about on the show, although I know it’s hard to fill 2 hours everyday during the off-season with little news. I also think he’s a little soft, blocking anyone he has a minor disagreement with online. Much like Kyle Tucker. Other than that I don’t have a problem with the guy.
On a different note, 247 has Reed ranked in the 70s. Unreal miss there
I get to listen to his stuff here day in, day out. I usually ignore it, but when the season starts, "Matt Jones" or "KSR" says posts are probably 25% of everything. Kinda hard to not see his crap.
no he started it for his benefit
yes he is a fan but if was not making a very good profit he never would have kept it going
bolded shows how immature you are
Filling two hours with fresh content is tough. Especially now. Anyone that's never done it can't knock them. I had to lead a 2-hour seminar once. And couldn't repeat material. That was not fun.
Which is why getting Big Z was so important.
It’s just a really weird thing to get outraged about. It’s a 2 hour show that's usually pretty informative and fun to listen to.
Howard Stern and especially Steven A are much more controversial, but nobody even mentions their names on here.
It's literally not making much of a profit at all.
Also, up until recently, he couldn’t even pay his co hosts more than peanuts.
The guy is a fan that was smart enough to parlay his fandom into a business, a restaurant and ESPN appearances. I don't get why he's your enemy.
Besides that, unless you're retired, you have a job too and I bet you profit off it, so should we trash you too?
Go start your own show if Matt's popularity pisses you off that much.
It is weird that you excuse all Calipari's bull crap, but that darn Matt Jones, he’s the real issue in your world. Hilarious.
Exactly, there's literally nothing to talk about and dudes are on here trashing the guy.
I like the show because I am all about getting ANY UK scoop I can get.
Heck, without MJ, we don't get Katina Powell's famous interview and not only that, look at all the high end guest he gets on his show.
Shoot, he gets some pretty damn good media members to host his show when he's out.
I don't get the hate, seems like it's jealousy based.
