You can say what you want about his stuff, but his makeup is off the charts. And he has great stuff. That's what I told him.

We've got high expectations this year. We like to think we're going to play for a national championship, but if we're going to play for a national championship, we've got to play better than this.

That guy, if he's not the first pick in the country, I'd be awfully surprised.

It's a dual-sided thing. As much as we knew in our dugout that we could come back against East Carolina, they knew it too. Maybe we didn't do it all by ourselves.

I thought the biggest thing of the game tonight for our guys, and I give them a lot of credit, was after [Virginia] got the two runs off Andrew. Knowing how tough Doolittle is - he one of the toughest pitchers in this league - to bounce right back out there and get two runs, that to me was a big point in this game.

I heard him yell at [All-America first baseman Aaron] Bates the other day. Not many people yell at Aaron Bates . That's when I knew Caleb Mangum had arrived.
