re: Venables doesn't want players to commit if they gonna see Bama/UGA on the side...

Quite the opposite. He is telling recruits to go visit other schools “before” they commit. Then if they still want OU its with conviction knowing whats out there. This method means he’ll have later classes than others. And so far its working, look how far they jumped in just July with 9 commits alone this month.

In your thinking a coach would not want kids to visit and would want them to commit right now. BV is telling them to go visit first. He’s looking for quality kids and giving them every chance to go sew their oats first.
