They would not have much chance of recovery because it most probably happened at an altitude too low to recover as the accident record sadly demonstrates.
For a true spin to develop the aircraft has to be both stalled and allowed to yaw.
If the pilot allows sufficient uncommanded yaw to occur so that the aircraft enters a true spin I don't think he she likely will suddenly recover their skills to execute a spin recovery.
The secret to avoid inadvertent spins is to
1) Recognize when the aircraft is in the slow flight regime and do not allow the further decrease in speed (AOA).
2) If they failed to recognize the developing low speed/high AOA, recover by adding power and lowing the nose at the first sign of a stall
3) If they fail to recognize the incipient stall and allow the aircraft to get into a fully developed stall, execute a stall recovery and use the rudder to stop the aircraft from yawing which would lead into a spin entry.
