What a difference. Florida gets a recruit Clemson wanted and

Clemson fans don't automatically accuse Florida of cheating like the SEC fans do when Clemson wins a recruiting battle. And this in spite of the fact that Florida is considered by Athlon to be one of the NCAA's most unethical programs.

to the hills of SC is more random than guys choosing to stay within the state of Florida.
I'm just saying if I was a Gator/FSU fan, I would be pissed off that Spiller, Steward, Sammy, Jamie Harper, etc chose Clemson over staying in state.

Florida is a different kind of state…..
Jul 26, 2012, 7:46 PM

they are a transient state, meaning that they have a lot of people who aren't native to Florida or have families going back generations in that state. So it's really no surprise that highly rated recruits often choose schools outside of Florida, since most of their population really aren't big on Florida heritage or being proud of being from Florida as a part of their personality. Remember, Florida hasn't always been as populated as it is now. Florida had a big population boom in the late 70's that still continues to this day, although be it not on the scale of the late 70's to mid eighties.

Can't say about FSU, but I'd think UF fans aren't all that upset, seeing how they won 2 NCs during those years, and came close to playing for a 3rd (2009)....

Florida has been pretty ethical over the past 20 years….

they are actually one of two programs (Vanderbilt being the other) from the SEC that hasn't been under investigation or on probation over the past 10 years. Florida has been clean ever since they got their bowl ban in the early nineties for their cheating in the 80's.
Oh, by the way, I would never take anything written in Athlon seriously.

the claim that Meyer reached out to CJ Spiller by some Clemson fans was a big time exaggeration. They based it off a comment he made to a question by a reporter when he was out of Gainesville, when after Spiller's freshman year it come out that he might be thinking of transferring to Florida to be closer to his family. Basically when asked about it, he said that he doesn't know about it and he would look into it after he got back to Gainesville. Out of that came the big time stretch, that Meyer actively tried to contact Spiller.

that most big time football programs cheat in recruiting. I think you have to in the same way you have to drive 80 when you're on I-95.
