You gotta love Spurrier and his "Spurrierisms". Earlier this afternoon after commiting to Notre Dame, the Rivals100 CB Gary Gray called and asked if USC would allow him to take an official visit this coming weekend during the Florida Atlantic game.
"Thanks, but no thanks." was Spurrier's comment when asked about Gray's visit. I know most of you are going to say why, but you have to understand Spurrier to understand this fiasco.
Spurrier has never catered to these high profile athletes and I don't feel he's going to start now. See, back in April, Gray committed to USC in such a tacky fashion only to recend that committment a month or two later. For the last month or so, we have been bombarded with the "60-40-ND" and many other trival attempts at getting attention.
He practically insults the Gamecock family and then wants USC to show him some so called "Love"? Well, things don't work that way. He wanted the attention and now he's got it. I personally applaud our coaching staff for not jumping through unreasonable hoops for the typical high school prima donna. Good luck Mr. Gray, you're gonna need it. We want student-athletes that want to be at USC. Not ones that are attention seeking hounds that aren't happy unless they hear or see their name everyday in the local newspaper.
