Chris Carlin is out as Basketball Play by play

Jerry was good for Columbia and got them exposure they would never otherwise see on Boomer and Carton. And when it turned into making fun of them, he always had fair counter-points. I'm assuming with all the crap continuously coming our way in all facets, this will at least help with public perception.
 
Big fan of Chris I to hope it was on his terms. Maybe he is going to be doing more Sirius/XM Radio and doesn't have the time. He is very good on Sirius.
He is very good at that. And very good in the studio. Talented guy and a good one at that.

Just IMO not the best play by play guy for either sport.

Even though he is above this now he was soooo much better than Fooch as the sideline guy.
 
Basketball is a tough assignment with weeknight games and travel. Carlin has opportunities that probably interfere. My guess is it was his idea and I like the choice for his replacement.

Love Carlin on the football calls, my favorite in the world literally. I never really listened to basketball to know anything about him there tbh

This is a very good move for him. It will free him up to do the Sirius XM Thing which he is killing on.

As long as he stays affiliated with Sirius Xm it is good for the university in a small way, as we will have a bit of a homer on the airwaves on a national broadcast.
 
I too think it is because of his daily show on Sirius. People all over the country love him. And he is the go to guy whenever there is a question about Rutgers on the station which is great for us.
 
Al Dukes with his lame song parody's, can you imagine,lol, no way. I'm pretty sure Jerry Recco is a Hazlet guy, my home town.

I think he lives in Holmdel. I heard him talk about it on the show a few years ago. I, however, could be wrong.

Recco always sounds like hes wondering how the hell he wound up with those three idiots he work with every morning. He does sound pretty good when they play his work for Columbia. So thats good for Rutgers.

And as for the other three, they have the nerve to make fun of The Dan Patrick Show and The Dannettes. THAT is the best show on raido and I wish I worked as one of The Dannettes instead of being a back row insufferable, non singing goof or a guy whos only talent is to repeatedly play sound effects to try to be funny. The two main donkeys are not worth talking about.

He grew up in Hazlet and owns a house in his old neighborhood. He did go to SJV in Holmdel for high school. Maybe he lived in Holmdel at some point.
 
I do not listen to B and C but C will kill Recco about RU every morning which will ultimately work out in our favor with the public.

Jerry is a great guy.....definitely the nicest sports radio guy I've dealt with......I think he's from Old Bridge too. Only bad thing about him is his Dallas Cowboys fan status.
 
I grew up with Jerry, he's as good of a guy as you'll ever meet. Definitely a Hazlet guy and NJ bred. Followed his dream to work in sports and paid his dues along the way.

Great exposure for us on sports radio in NY/NJ as well. Don't eat your own like many in NJ, welcome him with open arms.
