A few years ago Hugs Helton pulled Matt Corral's ride to SC.
From the rumors. Remember I don't start them. Matt who played quarterback for a pretentious private high school up in LA. Same school celeb's kids go to called Oak's Christian . Remember Emu Clausen? Like most of the "athletes" at Mater Dei , Matt was only there because he was great at football. Had an arm like a howitzer. But a poor kid from the wrong side of the tracks.
At a high school party, After some verbal exchange he called Wayne Gretzki's daughter a name. She hit him. He hit her back. Cost Corral his ride at SC. Matt got the boot out of school and I think transferred to Long Beach Poly. Kid wound up a third round draft choice last year in the NFL after transferring from SC to Ole Miss. Dude still has a cannon.
Gus Cordova just verbal-ed to SC this last weekend. Back in the fall he didn't believe another player's peanut allergy was all that and put some peanuts in his locker and and some peanut butter in his cleats. Kid always carried around an epi pen. Anyways, the kid got a rash and Gus got a two game suspension. Fine. Should have gone away. No harm. No foul. Stupid thing stupid kids do , right?
But here's the problem. According to the Kid's mom. Cordova then started bullying her son for narcing on him. She apparently got the school board involved etc. Story went viral.
What a mess.
And SC scholarship is a privilege . My guess is, he winds up at a place like ASU or Oregon. sc
OAKS is in need of a talent infusion, they are lacking a bit. Admin did not like the way previous coach tried to build a personal empire, so they changed some things, but it has cost them. Many parents have decided it is cheaper to just throw 10K into the booster program at local publics and get better coaches, and it is working.
There's no way Folt is going to allow Entz to have this kid on the team.
Long time before signing day and another year of HS football....just needs to keep clean IMHO...if he screws up again it's on him....otherwise I have no issue with his signing with USC afterall under Pete Carroll players were brought in that had done some pretty bad stuff...take Frostee Rucker for example. Take Rey Rey for example. Take Dirty Sanchez as an example...just to name a few...
Where was lactose intolerance and deadly peanut allergies when we were growing up? Never heard or imagined that anything that weird was possible.
While at LB Poly....Matt Corral attended an elite "By Invitation Only" weekend QB Camp held at USC. While staying overnight in the dorms.....Matt snuck out got drunk with HS friends. He was noted as being missing from the dorm. When he returned very late to the dorm Matt Corral was confronted by a USC Coach/Staffer. Corral then proceeded to get quite belligerent with that USC Staffer. After that "wee hours" incident....Corral was dismissed from the USC Camp. USC immediately pulled his scholarship offer after that dorm incident. The earlier incident involving Gretzky's son at Oaks Christian is also true. Corral's throwing arm has been his salvation. I hope he has matured enough to make a career out of his abilities.
I have mixed feelings about this one. In my time coaching, I heard from moms all about their sons, peanut allergies, lactose intolerance, gluten-free this and red dye allergy that
I had one kid I didn’t care too much for so at home when wife and I were talking about the team or jerseys or whatever the banner I referred to that kid “peanut allergy“. Or peanut allergy kid.
Point is. I’m not exactly Mr sympathetic
Having said that. Would I ever have been so dumb at to challenge it? To feed a red licorice to mr red dye? Sneak a cookie to Mr peanut allergy? Force a q a. WTH has gluten in it anyway? You get the idea.
I don’t care if you’re 16 or 17. You’re a complete idiot to take a chance like that. Just as dumb as taking a gun that your “armorer” says wasn’t loaded or said had blanks and pointing at various people and pulling the trigger. Same deal. You just. Don’t. Because guess what? Sometimes blanks aren’t. Sometimes blanks have residue. Or sometimes a kid really does have a peanut allergy. Dumb as it may sound to me. And when you do what this kid did then he becomes johnnny from the karate kid and we know how that ended.
yeah, he won't end up at USC. As I said yesterday, usc should pull their scholie offer. Stupid decisions have consequences.
