Jones hasn't been reliable with scoops since Antigua left.

When's the last thing he got right that he didn't rip from somewhere else?

Kyle Tucker (whom im also not a fan of) was way ahead on the Knox story

Yes, Jones has been wrong a lot but more so on the recruiting side, not with the current guys that are on roster.

So, you are suggesting on these close calls he's right about half the time? I think that's called flipping a coin.

Nope. I'm just suggesting that he says what he hears just like every other media member. Nobody has a real crystal ball.

Big Cuz and others were torn too....but in the end.... $millions in your bank account will heal any part of being torn. Eventually your mind takes over from your heart.

So, Jones is saying that he initially wanted to go but now might change his mind and stay. Do you all honestly not see what he’s doing here? How does Jones come out wrong with either outcome? He’s like those posters that leave these cryptic messages about recruits, not saying anything definitively.

I just don't see a championship happening without Knox unless we add a special player.Oh well.

I completely disagree. We need 1 of 2 things to happen - A. Knox returns maybe diallo or SGA do as well but they aren't as important B. Those 3 leave BUT we add Hagans and no else leaves. If one of those 2 things happens then we are at worst co favorites to win it . KU would of been favorites hands down but Newman left. I honestly expect Knox, SGA and Diallo to leave and am fine with that BUT the vital thing is adding Hagans and possibly EJ. Next year's team then would have 2 of the 5-8 best big men in PJ and Vanderbilt along with good players like Gabriel and SKJ, Richards . We would studs like Quick , hagans and green at guard and offensive weapons in Herro and Baker. That is a loaded roster. Name a roster more loaded? Maybe KU . Nova won't be as they are going to lose 1-4 guys to the NBA and Duke is 4 freshmen and wait for it ......Bolden LMAO.

Presuming we lose all 3 we think we will but get everyone back the preseason top 5 IMO would look like
1. KU 2. UK 3. UT 4. Duke 5. Nova Auburn would of been at 4 but Herron went pro.

Jones is just being smart. The smart money is he and Shai leaves. If he comes out and even gives an inkling that either might be leaning to coming back, and they don't, he would be ripped to shreds about it. If he says they are gone and they come back, everyone will forget what Matt said.

Will we EVER get a freakin' break?

And I mean with a stud deciding to come back to school, like happens at other schools from time to time.

Oh well, fingers remain crossed.

Honestly, i just assume they’re all gone, until (if) they come back

I agree, that way it’s only good news. My only real fear is if they all do go, there aren’t enough quality uncommitted players to fill the voids. Have to get a few back and I feel like we will for some strange reason this year.

Jones was the only person saying Knox isn't 100% going to Duke and don't be surprised if he picks UK

If you can't admit Jones has inside sources, then you clearly have something personal against him

I listened and MJ said really he had nothing like he has had in the past with other classes. Maybe Friday will be our first clue on how this shakes out.

Tucker had an entire story with interviews with the Knox family. Jones had guesswork from "sources", who then promptly changed his prediction after Tucker's story was posted.

I don't like either of them. So it's not as if I'm biased in some way. Tucker isn't out in front on everything. But he is on some things.

Jones used to have spot on inside info. Not anymore. Since Antigua left he's missed on nearly every prediction. That tells me he actually has no source in the program. The program tells him, and others, what they want them to know. So he's on par with anyone else that covers uk

Among 22 players under Cal who have received 1st or 2nd team All SEC, Jones was the only one to return. He was 1st team All-SEC by both coaches and media and was SEC Freshman of the Year (over Brandon Knight). In the Cal era, we've only had 8 guys average more than 15ppg in a season. Only 1 came back...Jones.

Agree it takes special guys to come back to win it all.

and he was the selfish mother f'er of the team!

Kyle Tucker is journalist, Matt Jones is a radio personality.

And if I remember correctly the ONLY reason that happened was the threat of an NBA lockout, otherwise they would both have been gone after their freshman year too. I would love to be shocked and Knox return for another run but I just can’t fathom a guy projected that high on draft boards to pass up the money. I wish the NBA would just let them go straight out of high school or implement a 2 year minimum stay if players go to college.

Said on the show today that on Monday he talked to someone who would have a good idea on Knox and at that time they thought he had made a decision with his family to go. He was set to announce on Tuesday or Wednesday, but wanted to wait a little bit because he might not have been ready to announce and wanted to think on it a little more.

Did you guys ever hear of Tiger Beat magazine? Is Matt Matty Matt on the cover of the Kentucky edition? Does it have a foldout suitable for wall posting?

Y’all silly. Don’t listen to Matt Jones... listen to our very own board insider @Conn501 - he’s got the biggest scoops.

Remember when his source told him Knox was going pro? Well yeah!! Not ONLY does Pepperidge farm remember but we all remember too. We are all witnesses.

His same source also said Zion, Reddish and Barrett will declare after next season and he ALSO predicted Ayton and Young would declare this year. What did Ayton and Young do you ask? Well they effing declared for the draft!


Between Conn and Coach , we don’t even need to
Follow the recruiting guys on twitter or check KSR.
