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


That what makes his recruiting run that much more impressive. Zero on-field product to sell. He’s only selling vision and culture and it’s working. In a world of gimmick recruiting pitches and money, he’s offering to provide a family culture.

Y’all better hope he doesn’t have even a mediocre season, because if he does the flood gates open up and OU becomes a perennial NC contender every season for the foreseeable future. He’s made a statement without coaching a down as head coach.

I agree that he is selling vision and culture and that it is working. Again, Clemson had early returns with this approach.

Unfortunately, the honeymoon ends for the program and that is when this approach backfires. And when it backfires, the fan base turns against the approach quickly.

Kids talk. If a school (UGA or Bama) encourages kids to use all 5 visits even after they verbal, does OUs approach appear better? Seriously?
