DEL.ICIO.USSpurrier meets with Perry OL Johnnie Farms
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Categories
South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier met with Perry offensive lineman Johnnie Farms on Tuesday to try to convince him to take an official visit to Columbia, S.C., next weekend.
“There is a good chance I’ll go, but I’m not sure yet,” Farms told the AJC.
The 6-foot-3, 306-pound Farms said he and Spurrier spoke for about 20 minutes in the coaches’ office at Perry High School, and Spurrier explained to him the difference between playing in the SEC and ACC.
“He also compared the graduation rate between the two schools,” said Farms. “He said South Carolina is No. 6 and North Carolina is No. 15.”
He said Spurrier also spoke with his mother and grandfather for more than an hour about the program.
“He wants me to go to South Carolina and see what they have to offer,” he said. “I’m thinking about it, but I’m still committed to North Carolina.”
Farms de-committed from South Carolina on Nov. 23, then committed to North Carolina after his official visit to Chapel Hill.

Let’s hope young Mr. Farms is smart enough to know when he’s being lied to. Actual GSR rankings are: UNC - 9 little carolina - 32

Buster, you twist the truth just like Spurrier. Bob quoted actual stats and never said anyone was dumb.
