Emailers To Simers Blast Petey/Kenny (Allege Trojies Of Shady Recruiting)
Well well well. Looky here.
T.J. Simers had served up his email address in his last column (calling out Petey/Kenny for being wimps) so that recruits or parents could email him substantiating Kenny's (what to date appears to be) baseless allegations again Rick Neuheisel.
Instead he got emails opening up the pandora's box of Petey's shady recruiting:
Unnamed High School Coach: "I can't comment on the accusations made by Norton. But I will say that having been a high school coach at some of the biggest schools in AZ I can tell you without a doubt USC does NOT recruit '100% pure' as the assumed satire in your article suggests.
"I was a coach at a high school in Phoenix and we had Zach Miller (currently with the Raiders). He was the No. 1 TE in the country at the time. Pete Carroll came to our practice to look at him. Huge news . . . anyway, it was clearly a non-contact period for coaches . . . he disappeared from practice and I remember all of us thinking, 'where did he go?' Anyway, I remember kind of giving him a wink and saying did he want to meet Zach and he made a big thing out of saying he couldn't at the time.
"As our practice concluded, players started to walk off toward the locker room . . . I was with the boys walking in. As I walked into the locker room who did I see? There was Pete in there glad handing players and pulling Zach into a corner to get in a few quick words.
"I could see that Pete eventually noticed me . . . he was just below a sprint out the door. How that guy got into our locker room ahead of a key to open the doors is beyond me . . . perhaps he coaxed a janitor into letting him get in or said he had to use the restroom, but I'll never forget that . . . you can mention the story but because I do have to deal with coaches I wouldn't want my full name used."
In addition, Morrell Presley's parents took Kenny to the woodshed for his BS:
Steve & Monika Hawkins: "[We] are the parents of Morrell Presley, the TE who switched schools. After reading an article in the Daily Breeze where [Norton] has used my son as one of his sources, my wife and I are truly upset. First . . . it is a violation to use a recruit's name, but he did so. What does that make him? Secondly, Morrell made a perfect statement: 'I am an offensive player, why would Norton going to UCLA matter to me?' Obviously Ken was called to the table by Carroll and this was the only acceptable way to show his commitment to the program.
"My son has never used Ken Norton as a deciding factor in his choice. He likes Ken but Ken is not the TE coach. I have on multiple occasions told Ken that Rick and [Norm] Chow have never used negativity in their recruitment of Morrell. Matter of fact they give SC complete respect for what they have done. But [SC is] convinced Rick is doing something."FOR THE RECORD: Norton never used Presley's name in the Daily Breeze story. The story reads: "Norton confirmed the allegation that UCLA was using his name to sway recruits. Sources said there were multiple instances this happened, and that [Presley] was one of those cases."
Simers did hear from one "recruit" wrt to Kenny's BS:
The only response so far has come from Paul Molina, a 45-year-old fat guy with two bad knees who said he was being recruited by Neuheisel to play linebacker under the watchful eye of Norton.
LMAO
Like I said sucks to be Kenny and in this case Petey is looking just as stupid as his braindead LB coach. Not to mention he looked like a complete fool flailing away with that character card against UCLA.
GO BRUINS.

Ol' Petey is busy
He’s too busy trying to pander for another mythical championship right now. Apparently word out of HH is that they’re gonna have another title ceremony for the 2009 ABC telecast national championship after Brent and Herb team fellating of his program. The plans are that ol’ Petey will round up his football goons and crash the BCS title game (Some of them won’t be able to make it past security after being questioned how to to spell ’BCS’). Of course, interrupting a game with a collective 2 finger salute will be seen by Carroll’s United Non-existing Titlists as “just a bunch guys having fun.”
I am sincerely glad
to read this story. Wow, Sic Transit Gloria.
Although it is easy to say “I never doubted”… I am so happy to see concrete evidence that CRN is the coach that we all believe, and hope, for him to be.
Nestor, you and the entire BruinsNation are needlessly singling out this wonderful coach, this awesome humanitarian!
I mean why else when TJ is asking him about the possible improper contact w/ a recruit in Arizona would he say this:
FOR THE RECORD: I forwarded the e-mail to USC and, through a spokesman, Carroll said he recalled the spring recruiting visit, which was legal, he said, while noting a UCLA coach was also there. (This would have to have been in either ’03 or ’04, specifically NOT when Neuheisel was coach – comments mine)
He said he left practice to go to the bathroom and while leaving the locker room several members of the team came in. He said he shook hands with them and kept going, which is known as a “bump” and does not violate NCAA rules, he said.
Miller signed with Arizona State.
Clearly if the humanitarian and winner of two NC’s who got shafted this year out of a Nat’l Championship game mentioned a UCLA coach was there in ‘03 or ’04 (under a completely different regime, mind you), then all’s fine, right? I mean that’s why you say that, right? That’s the classy move, right? When you’re being asked about possible impropriety you then point to all the other people who may be engaged in similar behavior – you don’t dare simply defend your own actions on their own merits.
Shame on you, shame on ALL OF YOU!!
