paraphrasing:

"when you commit to me, it's a like a marriage. i don't want you going out seeing all different kinds of women, and then all of a sudden, you feel a certain way."

He got that from Dabo. Dabo makes his verbals shut down their visits once they commit.

That's the Dabo in him

It's not a terrible take.

Don't commit until you're ready. If you commit, don't take anymore visits elsewhere.

Taking that Dabo approach

It’s going to cost Clemson in the end

Sorry in the day of NIL the Dabo line of thinking is over.

In his example he is a 40 year old man asking potential child brides out there to commit to him.

He knows what’s out there. He doesn’t want to compete. He doesn’t want the players to do what’s best for them.

Venables has about as much of a mega church pastor vibe of any coach in today.

He doesn't tell kids they can't take visits if they commit. He tells them not to commit until they've taken all their visits. You see the difference right?

Seems to be working pretty great for him, and he's going to close very strong in his first season recruiting here.

That stuff only works when you're the big dog in a conference of little dogs.

So I guess that could work for him until they join the SEC.

Dabo has the clout and track record to demand that type of commitment. He also backs up a firm commitment to Clemson with a commitment to the player. For the most part, Dabo doesn't process under-performers, and he doesn't take in many transfers. It's a style that has pro's and cons, but it's hard to argue with the success.

Venables hasn't proven a thing that will convince recruits not to consider better options.

Saban said, "you shop, we shop". For some reason I think Nick's carries more weight.
