Colby Jones

[X Factor]

Which is why we live in a world full of fake news, clickbait and misinformation.

Not really. There are times when sources should be named, and other times when they shouldn't.

Word on the street I heard is that a person who knows a very long time season ticket holder who is really connected to someone who is very much in the inner circle of a group of serious X fans who all have the ear of one the the former equipment manager of the woman’s Volleyball team who was in the men’s locker room one day last month and saw a dry-eraser board with the image of Xavier’s basketball court on it along with Colby, Dwon, and Nunge’s name markered in on it along with the words “Where are you going?” above the names and arrows from each player’s name pointed away from the part of the court that has the X logo on it.” Needless to say, it is pretty clear what that means.

I heard the opposite.

I disagree with this. Who decides when sources should or should not be named when it come to basketball information? If you can’t name the source you got the information from, don’t report it then. This is exactly how misinformation and clickbait happens. Don’t believe me? Go on twitter.

You have no idea how confidential sources work then. Remind me to never tell you ANYTHING important!

I know how they work but I don’t agree with the reasoning behind it. If it is so confidential why provide that information to someone who is going to share it out to the public? In basketball term, the only source we should be hearing if Colby is staying or not is from Colby himself. Not some “confidential source” who is to scared to put his name out there.

Geezus dude it’s a message board. If people want to share what they have heard, they are free to do so and they certainly don’t need you to decide whether they should give names of their sources or not. Get a grip. You can choose whether to believe the info or not.

I am Colby Jones, and I’m staying. That should settle it

Exactly! Gives people all the more power to spread disinformation and clickbait. They are entitled to do so but make the platform as reliable as Wikipedia. I can play along though. Sources are saying that Yancy Gates is the new strength and conditioning coach at X. The sources are “confidential” so wont name names.

Yes, but we all know you don't know shit. For others we only suspect it.

Yes, but… That answers it all. Thanks GoMuskies!
