Norton JR accuses Neuheisel of lying to recruits

[Russ Smith]

Put this is in the this is why I hated the hiring of Neuheisel file.

Norton says that he's been told by multiple recruits that they were told by UCLA coaches if DeWayne Walker left UCLA(And he is), the replacement DC would be Ken Norton Jr. Norton played at UCLA and says it will always be special to him but "I am not leaving USC it's not true." Norton says it's plain wrong to use his name and lie to recruits to try and get commits, he insists he has had no contact with UCLA about the job and Neuheisel also said he'd had no contact with Norton about the job.

My inclination here is to...gasp.... believe Norton. I think Neuheisel is just one of those people who can't help it. No specific recruit was named and they didn't say which UCLA coach(es) did it but I'm inclined to believe it just because I don't trust Neuheisel.

Naw. I'm not buying. Slick Rick is a changed man, he swears.

Ken Norton Jr., is whining. He wants to be the dc at USC. It is his duty to whine for Pete. It is recruiting time.
