Spurrier was always a lazy recruiter, it just didn't matter back in the 90s because he'd coach circles around Stallings and Fulmer.

Spurrier did enough back in the day, or his staff made up for it. There weren't online recruiting sites like today - there were magazines that followed CFB recruiting. They had UF bringing in the #1 ranked class at least once under Spurrier, and perhaps a 2nd time I can't recall. But also several top 5 national classes and most of them were top 10 nationally ranked classes.

Maybe SOS was lazy but he had damn fine help in those days......
