"We don't run into much of any negative recruiting around here as SEC coaches," Spurrier told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday. "We were involved with a player who was being recruited by a Big Ten school. They got negative a little bit with 'There's a lot of crime in Columbia, the big city. They don't graduate their players,' which was completely untrue. They searched for a little bit of everything but the player came with us anyways."

Despite his age - he is 68 - Spurrier and the Gamecocks continue to hold their own in the competitive SEC.  "South Carolina and Alabama are the only two SEC teams that have finished in the top 10 the last three years," Spurrier said. "We've gone 11-2 the last three years."...

He meant to say: "We don't run into much negative recruiting around here since Urban Meyer left..."

Exactly. :clap:
CNS was very adamant on NSD in saying that his coaches are not permitted to use any negativity about other schools with their recruiting tactics. ;)

How long has Spurrier been at USC, 8 or more years? What's wrong with this statement?

"But we have not won the SEC yet. So that is a goal that is still out there that we hope to achieve within the next three or four years."
