Hello Kiffin's Troy continues to burn. Per Joe Schad on tWWL:
USC will release Seantrel Henderson from his national LOI today Lane Kiffin told me
So much for all the PR pumped fake bravado in this joke LA Times article entitled "Trojans confident they can 're-recruit' top prospect Seantrel Henderson."
Remember just days ago with read the infamous laugh graphs written by Trogan stenographer Gary Klein:
"I hope in the end Seantrel sees what every other freshman in this class has… that one or two games isn't why you choose a university," Kiffin said. "They didn't come to SC because of a bowl game the first or second year. They came here because of the education; they came here because of the football program."
Ed Orgeron, USC's recruiting coordinator, is similarly optimistic.
"There's no question in my mind that I know USC is the best decision for Seantrel and his family," Orgeron said. "He always wanted to come here, and I think once he gets on campus and visits again with coaches and teammates in the No. 1 recruiting class, which he helped recruit, he's going to be here."
Something tells me the comedy hour is just getting started with these clowns in charge over at Southern Cal.
GO BRUINS.
UPDATE (N): And here is the official statement from Hello Kiffin:
"As of 1:30 p.m, we are releasing Seantrel Henderson out of his national letter of intent with zero penalties and no restrictions," Kiffin said. "Seantrel has been great through the whole process and we wish him the best of luck in his decision."
Henderson could not be reached for comment.
But what about that Trogan "education" Lane?
GO BRUINS.

usc guys saying that Kiffin dumped him...

@Lane_Kiffin Glad you dumped Seantrel before he asked for release. USC fans everywhere thank u. He doesn’t have what it takes 2 be a Trojan.
HA!
That’s exactly why they recruited him right? He doesn’t want to play for a team that can’t win anything for 2/3rds of his career, so he isn’t fit to be a Trojan. Congrats SC… Congrats

For...
Bowl games? The one time every year where every scout in the world can see you on National TV?

I would not be surprised if there is a lot more to this story. All along, Seantrel Henderson relayed coach kitty’s words through the media. Kitty told him that SUC would not be put on probation and would not lose schollies, but that they would receive a slap on the wrist with some vacated victories. I am sure the Henderson’s family attorney made a phone call to SUC and let them know that the scholarship needed to be released. Actually, the Henderson’s family attorney is probably on UM’s payroll, but whatever.
The only thing you need to know about coach kitty is that he is willing to lie to his kids in order to get them, willing to admit to doing so in the national media, and willing to take his whole family down the drain with him. Us Bruins should start donating to the “Keep Kitty” fund.

Vacated victories?
I think the party line over there was that all they would get were a few vacated losses. i can’t remember who said that, but obviously he’s a perfect fit.
He most recently said...
My bad!
I guess I didn’t get those Tweets from those other schools I claimed i did. That’s not really a problem is it Coach K?

I am wondering if this will have a domino effect
If Henderson did indeed help recruit SC’s recruiting class then others are likely to follow in his foot steps. Keeping in mind he was obviosuly the big fish of the recruiting class.
A bruin is good forever, a Trojan is only good... ahh eff it, just use tin foil
How could Henderson ...
have helped recruit SC’s recruiting class when he signed with SC a month after everyone else?
This is a loss to SC whether or not any other recruits jump ship. O-line is a position of need for them and Henderson might have started at tackle from Day One.
It could be even more brutal
If there are actually truth to the rumors of Tyrone Smith leaving Troy. Talk about the blind side of Barkley getting blown up and remember he was injury prone last year.
Oh yeah ...
they could easily have more defections, from their recruiting class and from their roster. Malik Jackson to Tennessee already hurts them.
I just meant that Henderson wasn’t the Pied Piper who led recruits to SC (as Mattbaa suggested above) and he thus likely won’t be the reason why other guys leave. Henderson, for what it’s worth, seems like he only cares about himself. SC will miss him off the field, but he and his dad seem like they’ll be a real headache off the field.
He may not be the emotional reason other recruits leave
but what high rated QB and RB recruits want to play behind what could be a very thin trogan OL.
Hold on a second
This sounds a little familiar…. could- could we be switching places in tiny, tiny, on the field angles?

see blocked quote in the post.

Got it ...
I missed that above.
Still, the timing doesn’t make sense. Henderson was the last to sign, by far. How was he recruiting the class when he was the last to commit and the last to sign?
But thanks for noting that it was Orgeron, I missed it.
love it
Love seeing the pathetic spin on losing the top OL recruit in the country.
Let the good times keep rolling!

LA Daily News has this headline yesterday:
Despite NCAA sanctions, USC football players staying true to their school
Was that a Scott Wolf special?
Pretty hilarious how the guys within the program are not buying their BS spin (except for BSPN and the media in LA).
Looking forward to seeing Owa in the trogan backfield for years to come.

I think its funny how downright arrogant USC fans are
What was Pete Carroll’s goal? Rose Bowl
What is Lane Kiffin’s goal? According to plenty of USC fans it iss coach players for 3 years and act like a springboard, ultimately ruining the football program through attention mismanagement.
If you want to put up a program that doesn’t want to compete on the college level then be my guest and let the city burn.

How many more?
I feel like this is the dutch boy with the dike. The more players and recruits that leave, the more likely others are to leave. It will snowball and I am interested to see where it stops. I really liked the point about defecting players will cause even more trouble because of limited scholies over the next few years. Couple that with the fact that no one wants to sit out of bowl games for a few years and you have a pretty crappy situation over there. They will likely do okay this year, but they will drop like rocks thereafter.
I hope to see more
recruits/current players defect from kiffin and his band of douchebags. They deserve everything coming their way an more. The new recruits should be especially upset since they were repeatedly lied to by these shady jerks.

Why Gary Klein keep saying ...
He could, however, still decide to remain with USC.
but USC is hopeful that he could still decide to remain with the Trojans.
They are still hoping to change his mind?
One little request, Nestor
I clicked on one of the links and it was to the fishwrap. Would you mind making it clear when a particular link is going to result in traffic for the ‘wrap? I don’t want to do anything to help their circulation numbers. Thanks.
Or
you can read the URL that the link is going to send you to when your mouse hovers over the hyperlink. A good practice to get into around the internet as you never know when someone is trying to Rick Roll you :-)
Come on, Paul
I’m a geezer, not a teenager. I still can’t understand the concept of clicking “start” to turn the machine off. Now, to respond directly to your admonition. First, I believe it is a felony in some states to read a URL without a license. Second, and equally important, I’m not sure I actually have a hyperlink. My link is much older than yours, and probably is at best an above average link, and that’s on a good day.
All that said, I agree that in context I should have perceived that click was going to take me someplace I never want to go.
You can figure it out
Geezerdom is not an excuse. I know plenty of geezers who gets how it all works. Thanks.
I appreciated your humor, Fox.
In the immortal words of the pin I got while an undergrad: Roses are red, violets are blue...f*** $C.
Definition of "the education":
Not a great education, or a good one, or even a passable one. But the kind of education SC guarantees for its "student-athletes:": tutors to do your work, eligibility through ballroom dancing, study hall with easy ladies from the athletic program, Senora Ross if you need that extra boost — as well as providing you with houses, cars, HDTVs to enhance your university experience, and a "we own the police" card so you can study outside the local jailhouse.
Remember the Beach Boys song, the new Kiffin theme, “Be True to Your School.”
highlight of my day.
working at the NFL with a director that is a notorious Trogan fan. around mid day I hear the following over the PL"
“ugh. Seantrel . . . . No! ! ! !”
The best thing you can do for your children is to love their mother. John Wooden
There's no question in my mind that I know USC is the best decision for Seantrel and his family
For his family? Are you paying them, too?
Such Idiots
Every time I think of that coaching staff, I picture them running around in their office like chickens with their heads cut off, trying to act like they know what they are doing. I picture this music playing as the run into each other and make buffoons out of themselves. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjedLeVGcfE&feature=watch_response

What does re-recruit mean?

A better house?

The fun is just beginning!
Hello everyone. This is my first comment since I joined a few weeks ago. I have always enjoyed just reading your postings, but with the defection the Trogans just suffered I felt compelled to join. As I see it, the fun is only beginning. With the Lame coaching they have, I think this season will turn out to be most challenging for SUC. Think back to the mediocre jog Kiffen did at Tennessee. There’s no reason to think it will be different here. I only wish the season opened tomorrow. GO BRUINS! Here’s to the compete destruction of the Trogan nation. Long may they whine!
No problem...

At least I’m prone to it!!

Thank you, gbruin. I’ll try to make my next posting more exciting. Appreciate the feedback. SUC…long may she burn.
Sorry, my friend
We’re glad you’re here – but that was too easy to pass up. And I’m childish like that. I was just kidding. Well, the welcome part was sincere!

"Senora Ross asks:: "Pleasa 'splain to me someting."
¿Por qué esta transferencia Santrel Henerson a otra escuela. ¿Piensa que va a aprender mejor español en Miami? Me han dicho por algunos de los muchachos de la Selección de fútbol de USC que Universidad de Miami es muy malo, muchos delincuentes han jugado por su equipo de fútbol.
Pero yo soy una mujer vieja y he enseñado a muchos criminales de la Universidad de South Central y fueron muy bien muchachos … todo tiene al menos B’s en mi clase!

Translation by Malik Jackson before transferring his Spanish credits to University of Tennessee
Why does this Santrel Henerson transfer to another school. Does he think he will learn better Spanish at Miami? I’m told by some of the boys from the USC football team that Univertity of Miami is very bad, many criminals have played for their football team.
But I’m an old woman and I have taught many criminals from the University of South Central and they were very fine boys…all got at least B’s in my class!
La señora Ross responde
Ahora tengo unos amigos en mi nuevo mejor FaceBook, el Sr. Lame Gatito y Entrenador Origami. Ellos me escribió para decir que soy vital para su programa de estudiante-atleta de la Universidad de South Central Esquela Extension. Así que aunque el Sr. Henderson llamó y preguntó si podía llevar a mi clase a través de Internet por su requisito del idioma, yo le dije que pensaba que tendría un tiempo más fácil simplemente caminando por la Pequeña Habana, si quería aprender españo.

Translated by Jordan Campbell who is transfering his Spanish I class credit to University of Louisville.
I now have some new best friends on my FaceBook, Mr. Lame Kitten and Coach Origami. They wrote me to say I am vital to their student-athlete program at the University of South Central Extension School. So although Mr. Henderson called and asked if he could take my class over the Internet for his language requirement, I told him I thought he’d have an easier time just walking around Little Havana if he wanted to learn Spanish.

Hey, Nestor...
Has Rivals ever vacated a “university’s” recruiting class ranking?
Memo to Layla
Disregard previous decision to name our next child “Seantrel”.
<Remember,you can’t have scandal without SC.>
ESPN still
saying a few minutes ago that suc hopes he will choose them…um…really?
How about the spin that tWWL puts on this
“U$C has been punished, but coach Lame Kitten doesn’t think that freshmen should have to bear that burden. Offensive lineman recruit Seantrell Henderson has been let out of his scholarship and is free to sign wherever he wishes”. As if he had a choice. Henderson wasn’t coming and he was trying to spare what little dignity (I know, they don’t have any) the program has left. They paint the picture of Lame handing out pardons to freshmen like Thanksgiving turkeys!

Well let's be fair here
At the end of the day, it’s the NCAA’s fault for not legitimizing Lamey’s lies to his recruits. How dare they go against the almighty word of Southern Con?
