This was your exact quote man.

“Pitching already good enough to contend”.

No, it isn’t.

And Quantril had a really good year, but he is not near elite. He doesn’t miss that many bats and his ERA indicators are all around 4, implying that he probably got lucky to post the ERA he did last season.

Maybe he is one of those guys who can beat the peripherals every year, but heck no he isn’t “near elite”.

Does look like a solid starter though, I will give you that.
because the pitching is good enough to contend is why I said it. I mean, we were a .500 team last year with guys in and out of rotation all season. That was with garbage hitting other than 3-4 guys.

If you want to counter they are not good enough? That's fine. Only an opinion....they can then spend some of the $70 mil+ on a pitcher or 2 if they feel the need

Los Alamitos QB Malachi Nelson is following Riley to USC.....has de-committed to OU.

@ChiefsLakers67, @trojanfan12
lol

That was announced yesterday. He apparently called Riley re: USC shortly after he de-committed.

Y'all got some slow interwebz out there in Montucky. :heh:

No doubt that was going to happen

Did you see Riley's interview on Cowherd?

He said all of the right things, but I wasn't buying it when he said moving to the SEC had nothing to do with his decision.

He had to say that, but it was the only thing he said that just didn't sound believable. lol

This is beyond lame.

Gotta be real on this. Irish fans need to live by the sword and die by the sword. He did this to Cincinnati on his way out. It’s part the game but it’s also part Brian Kelly. When did all this come? The year he broke Rockne’s win record. He got what he wanted. On to the next.

Lying through his teeth. You wouldn’t believe the stuff coming out around here now.

Should have just left it in the group text he sent last night. I would be pissed as a student if you setup a 7 AM meeting for this. There was no need for any further contact with the players if this was his point of the meeting.

Kelly trying to steal him and Tommy to LSU as we speak
I don’t think either guy makes a move until they get a sense of what ND is doing in the head coach department

It is a homer opinion.
