One can never trust anything said by any coach anywhere, so take this how you wish.
Oregon State HC Mike Riley has pretty much killed the hopes and dreams of lots of Canes fans with a few choice words.
“The story never was real,” said Riley, shooting down the message boarders with five words.
“I’ve been with Danny since Monday, driving around Texas and Oklahoma. … Danny doesn’t know (UM coach) Randy Shannon, he’s never been contacted by anyone from the school.
“He doesn’t know anything about it.”
Ouch. Again, we never can tell with these things, but why would Riley say this at all if it wasn’t true? He has nothing to hide here. Personally, I’m moving on to another candidate as my top choice.
