Just said he has very solid sources on Bamba and feels excellent about Kentucky. Then in so many words said all the chatter on Texas is laughable.
Drew Franklin (Bamba)
- Thread starter Crankdatmustard
- Start date
Did he say that after shot gunning a beer or taking a shot?
Yes. Also of note he rarely gives recruiting news unless he is correct
Wait, I thought Matt's rock solid "source" told him we aren't getting Bamba?
Yes, but after Matt said that he was convincing him, Drew made sure to say that it's not a situation where he already knows it's a done deal, but said he is very confident. Whatever that means.
Franklin said his source said the person who told Matt that wouldn't even have a clue or any info on Bamba.
To be fair to Jones, he said one of his sources made him not as confident about Bamba, not that we weren't getting him. Hate on him and his show all you want (he annoys the heck out of me at times), but at least be fair.
With that said, I sure as hell hope Drew is right as we need Bamba in a very bad way for next year.
Maybe Jones and his people will make better politicians than I thought,they are pretty good at talking out of both sides of their mouth already
Don't even try to interrupt the Matt Jones hate circle-jerk. People who don't listen to the show play telephone with things he said and then get their rage boners going based on fake news.

It's almost as annoying as the Jones family members who get butt hurt about ppl disliking him.
Lol, I usually sit these out but people using fake or altered facts to whine and complain about anything just gets to me. I happened to be listening to the actual statement on radio and had to laugh when I saw what it had turned into after the game of telephone.
Fellas one of these days we all have to figure out that there is no solid source except the kid himself. Kids making a big choice will change their minds back and forth 20 times before making a final decision and even coaches or family don't know for sure what the final decision will be in most cases. So "sources" in recruiting are just like these guys at the track that always have a source on who's going to win. The fact is I don't care if the owner and jockey themselves told me they are going to win we won't know until they go out there and beat the other horses, so it' s not a given. Point being, it's not unusual for many sources to be "right" at the time they heard what they heard but usually all they heard was the latest whim or throw away comment form a kid

In before this thread turns into "Matt doesn't know anything!"...
oh, too late.
oh, too late.
I don't know who Drew is, but that is the sediment around everyone around the coaching ranks.
Bamba to UK should happen.
Until I hear differently, you all are getting this stud.

He said he had one source that he trusted. He also said he had others sources that disagrees with that source. He continued to say that he feels Bamba will come to UK. Soooooooo
Soon KSR can't lose now? Lol. Gotta love when Drew Franklin has "recruiting news"
I know it should not mean much,, but Drew is listed as a crystal ball expert on 247 Sports. Matt has big sources, but Drew is involved in researching this stuff every day. Drew's life is covering Kentucky sports for the news, Matt is involved in running a business, a radio, and a tv show.
I would say his source is probably within the team as he relates well with these young guns. Maybe even Diallo
His sources are very good. Hes heard this info from Johnnie Walker, Jim Bean AND Jack Daniels. Incredible amount of inside info. Rumor is Morgan, who is a Captain, is also agreeing. But fwiw I heard Captain Crunch has him to Texas

Well if that's the sediment then certainly it is settled
You consider yourself a coach and you don't know who Drew Franklin is?? Wow that is rich right there
I kid, thanks for all the info Coach. Appreciate it immensely
I'm pretty sure that Bamba and Knox will make a decision, I just don't know when, where or how. Looking into my crystal balls I can see both wearing UK warm ups. Hee Haw Hee Haw.
I think Fox was probably the one who told Matt Bamba wasn't coming. It was the day after that interview I believe, and ryan let it slip that he was there when he was told the info.
I feel better all over more than any place else knowing "The Sediment" has him in UK blue.
Haha. All he did was say that a credible source told him Texas, but he still thought it would be Kentucky. And this is what it turns into.

Matt Jones is a big boy. He can fight his own battles so save yourself the trouble. You're getting too worked over his critics.
I'm not worked up a bit. Could really care less who likes the guy. But if someone wants to call him out on something, at least say what he said. I know agenda driven people hate facts.
No . Matt never said that. If you going to make up things try harder.
Love watching the MJ fanboys get butthurt when it becomes obvious he has no "sources"
