First I've heard of the rumored match. Jet plays real well. He's a protege of Beard's, and I believe he won the banks ring game at the last DCC.
But Brumback is not only presumably the best bank pool player playing today, but I assume he is also a seasoned action player. I they are to play, I imagine Jet would need some weight.
Beard? Ghost? (If they're in on it, they may want to keep mum)

Jet's backer, Ed Gobbo, was negotiating with Tony Banks Coleman re a game for Jet at Red Shoes this week. Tony suggested various scenarios, Jet vs Jason Kirkwood, Jet vs Shannon Murphy, and Jet vs Brumback with a slight spot. All those games apparently fell through, through no fault of Eddie Gobbo or Tony Banks. Tony' "stable" was reluctant to participate. Jet is fired up and anxious to play anybody. especially with a solid backer like Eddie.
Jet is an old-style, hard core, no nonsense hustler. Big heart, with no give-up, and an all-consuming will to win. He dont just want to beat you, he wants to eat you! His nickname is the "Hungry Hound," and it is well deserved.
...Very respectful of all the old bank players from Chicago. ... All the reasons why it was my pleasure to take him under my wing and shoot his game up a few notches.

Chicago style bank pool, with someone who can also make a ball and bets high, is apparently a very scary proposition.
