Not true at all.. You can only have 25 guys sign out of high school no matter how many scholly's are available. Tino Thomas for us 2 years ago greyshirted. Bama had to tell kids to look elsewhere last year and still greyshirted one. 25 is the SEC limit.
If this keeps up, Spurrier may coach til he's 80.
If he keeps landing prospects like Quarles, Clowney, Griffin, etc... along the defensive line, he very well may.
He has the benefit of having free golf, low expectations, high job security, and good in-state talent on an annual basis.
I'll be the first to admit I didn't think even his big ego would be enough to permeate thru to install confidence into a historically bad program such as South Carolina.
Is that because Clemson is getting all the top in-state talent?

His accomplishments in the Palmetto State underscore Spurrier, the man and Spurrier, the coach.
I'm not one to live in the past or the "would've", "could've", "should've" type however, it would be interesting to see how things would have played out if Steve Spurrier (coming out of Science Hill) had signed w/ Tennessee instead.

My grandfather was Spurrier's basketball coach at Science Hill, some people that have lived in Johnson City for a while may remember him, his name is Elvin Little, he coached at Science Hill for 20 years. He still talks to Steve on occasion, and speaks to his brother, Graham, quite often. A year or two after he took the SC job (I can't remember the exact year, i was pretty young) Steve and my Grandad were talking on the phone. Steve said if the Tennessee job were to come open, that it was "the premier job in the SEC". Makes you wonder what would have happened if Fulmer was fired after his 1st 5-7 season.
