From Montgomery Advertiser:
Howell wanted to quiz Brantley on the possible interest Steve Spurrier might have in the Alabama job. Howell was floored by Brantley's reply.
"Well, he's standing right here, let me ask him," Brantley said.
Turns out, while his name was all over the airwaves in Alabama, Spurrier was in Ocala, Fla., trying to recruit Brantley's nephew, John Brantley Jr., the top-rated quarterback in the state of the Florida.
And according to Scott Brantley, Spurrier was recruiting his nephew for South Carolina.
Of course, Brantley is one of Texas' top recruits. And of course we've heard reports of Oklahoma's Bob Stoops pushing hard to sway Brantley. All along, Brantley and his father, John, Sr., have said they're solidly committed to Texas.
But when Spurrier pays you an in-home visit, you have to take notice. Brantley may still be solid to Texas - but not solid enough to rebuff the Gamecocks coach. According to Rivals, Texas is using Greg Davis and Gene Chizik to recruit the Ocala quarterback. Chizik is gone and the young Brantley once belonged to a Facebook.com group known as "Fire Greg Davis!" Not a positive sign (though he's not part of the group anymore).
