Spurrier Calls out B1G School for Negative Recruiting

Doesn't matter if it's Nebraska or Wisconsin, the important thing is whether it is true or not. If it isn't true, call out the program. If it is true, then STFU already...but when has Spurrier ever taken the opportunity to STFU when given the chance to do so?

Agreed . Say the name of the school or stfu and stand on the sideline red faced with your legs crossed like a b!^@h......you know...like I've seen you before.....

"The Columbia crime rate is much higher than the South Carolina average crime rate and is much higher than the national average crime rate."

According to this article, USC graduates 55% of their players.

Nebraska's graduation rate is 67%.

I call BS on the "we don't see negative recruiting from other SEC coaches."

General article on all SEC recruiting

Mark Richt discussing negative recruiting

SEC blog about negative recruiting

SECRant forum discussing Tennessee negative recruiting

There are dozens more. I'm sure you could find the same or similar articles, blogs, forum discussions & tweets about the Big Ten, PAC-12, the Texas conference, etc.

The takeaway from that comment isn't that a Big Ten school negatively recruited - they all probably do - but that Spurrier said with what I'm presuming was a straight face that he doesn't see that in the SEC.

There is also a high crime, gang, and drug area in Columbia. I think its in the Bull Street area east of the downtown area. I remember the SC Law Enforcement guys making a big raid when I was visiting.

I was in a Waffle House in the northeast part of town after a high school football game when two gangs got into it- a beat down on one boy and some shots were fired. The Sheriffs stated it was happening a lot.

I reently heard that Clowney was living in a very high priced condo next to the foot ball stadium. I don't think he could afford it on his own. Perhaps Spurrier should take care of his own business.

McClain is the only USC commit in the last 4 months with a visit to a B1G school. We also had a visit by Lamin. They don't have any recruits that took OVs to any other school in the B1G. I'd go out on a limb here and say Spurrier is directing this at Nebraska. Crime, big city, graduation rates? Gotta be. Isn't Lincoln bigger than Columbia though?

We don’t run into much of any negative recruiting around here as SEC coaches,” Spurrier said. “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.

There is a lot of crime in Columbia. Specifically, the 5 points area (college hangout). I live in the 'burbs of Columbia.

A freshman girl got shot by a stray bullet and paralyzed after going to get something to eat down there. Lots of shootings.

He just pissy cuz Bo came in and all but took a high prof guy out of his back yard and the only reason he went with SC is because his parents wanted him close to home.
