Gamecocks football’s recruiting budget in the SEC. How does it stack up with the rest
August 20, 2019
Since 2013, South Carolina has nearly tripled its football recruiting budget, according to data from USA Today. But now also many of the top competitors have also increased their spending in that same span.
Here are the numbers compiled by USA Today have the Gamecocks ranked ninth among 13 non-Vanderbilt SEC teams in recruiting spending and 23rd among the 52 Power 5 teams on the list. USC’s total was $861,747, a 185.1 percent increase.
That gain ranks third in the SEC behind Georgia (351.7 percent) and Texas A&M 326.3 and seventh nationally behind Clemson, which was at more than $1.7 million in recruiting spending.
Will Muschamp has long made a point of trying to recruit withing a five-hour radius, stretching past that to recruit South Florida, Nashville and sometimes Virginia. The Gamecocks also went out to California to go after several prospects, including freshman QB Ryan Hilinski.
