I was looking to see which level Kenny Moreland was going to play at this summer, I couldnt find his name on any roster. Does anyone know if he got released?

Chris Pecora- released by Gateway Grizzlies

The pitching in the league was very very very down this season, really no quality arms. Moore getting pitcher of the year with a 5 ERA and Manfro on the 2nd team means the pitching had to be slim if these guys were getting any sort of awards. And as stated earlier, no disrespect to Trae Bailey but he was clearly NOT the player of the year. Ingrahm and Williford were better options in my opinion. Just a very down year talent wise for the USA South.

what happened to former bright spots Jake Loye and Sibrizzi from Averett, they seem to have gotten worse. What happened to Ferrums Lincoln Garner from last year, did he transfer again?

Wesleyan could be rolling into some major butt kickings this weekend, Marietta,Montclair, and Piedmont. During that 11 game home span they play some top notch opponents, no cupcakes for Wesleyan at all this year. I hope playing all these teams benefits them once conference play starts.

I would love to see wood bats in college, but it all comes down to $$$$$.

Non-Conference games do matter, they are the reason why teams on the bubble for regional bids either get in or dont make the cut. If you have a decent season say...29-13 and if you lose most of your regional matchups, you ARENT getting in. They do matter, they might be more important than conference games unless you win the conference tournament. No one can even argue that point, it happens every year, the teams with the more impressive non conference wins, get the bid everytime.

I cant agree with you more about HOT teams, if a team gets hot they can be unstoppable, but relying on that isnt the way to go. Proving yourself game in and game out is the way to prove that you are a good team.

I never said any team was horrible, I just said I was dissapointed in the talent level, whether its early or not, thats what this board is for to talk about things like that, not cry and argue on it like you do. Its really not that early in the season, 10 games is 1/4 of the season, you start to have an idea of what kind of team you have right around 10 games into the season. I did talk about the strong points if you read my post, I gave CNU a compliment because i feel that they deserve it, when another team pulls off a good win I will do the same, has not happened so far. Hopefully some of the teams in the USA south can turn it around.

Ive seen most of the teams in the USA South play this season( GC, NCWC, Averett, Ferrum) and I am really dissapointed in the teams that are out there. Besides CNU I dont think there is a real contender in this league at all. CNU has a dynamite offense and if there pitching can come through they might pose a threat in the South Region. NCWC and Averett, look for them to finish at the bottom of the standings, poor hitting and poor pitching thus far. GC looks to be the same as always, a few good players but nothing special, pitching is not there strong point.

I am looking forward to seeing Methodist play, they might be the 2nd best team in the conference. I hope these teams can start picking it, if not the USA South is in for a long season.
