I'd counter you're not paying close enough attention to how SB is playing the off-season game 👍✌👍
If you think the timing in Nelson making his commit public immediately after Beamer killing it at Media Days is coincidence
- Thread starter gamecokpride
- Start date
I’m not sure about the commitment video release timing, but Coach Beamer and staff are working hard at recruiting and trying to sell the program. All accounts are that he did well at media days. I’m on board and excited to see what the team looks like this season.
I hadn’t really thought about that, but it kinda dovetails nicely with his “we aren’t slowing down anytime soon” comment (or however he worded it).
A new staff always has an opportunity to sell enthusiasm and grand plans. Another reason to let Muschamp go. His sell had burnt out.
Beamer and company are doing it well. If he can have a little success on the field it continues.

I think that's a great point.
He's selling a 2 win season right now basically.
Imagine that staff selling a 6 win/bowl appearance season next off season !!!!
He's definitely copying the Dabo approach. I really hope it works.
Easy.
You don't sell the steak, you sell the sizzle.
Dabo came in with a decent, though not great, program/history to sell.
Because recruiting IS sales.
Instead of thinking about old ways to do things, or what his product really was, he went to his "customers" ( ie the recruits) and gaged what they wanted to "buy".
Energy. Enthusiasm. Social media awareness. Image. Swag.
And above all a presentation that your product is special. Different.
Jimmy's & Joe's beat X's & O's.
That's the reader's-digest version of the Dabo method.
Just concentrate on getting the best players in Pennsylvania to buy it today 😉
I think Beamer "gets it" and I like what I'm seeing.
But the paradigm has shifted. Moving forward, I think the number one factor for recruits will be "how much money am I go make there?" Better have a good answer to that question.

Trying to control the media and if the OP is correct, the timing of the messaging.
Dabo would always hold off kids announcing their commitments until he needed it in a bad moment.
One BIG ingredient that no one has caught on too:
He offers only a select few recruits whereas, UGA and Bama offer all the 4/5 star kids. Dabo is making the Clemson offer(s) to be the GOLD Standard among the Power 5. His tatic is, if you get a Clemson offer, you better take it as not many at all get one from Clemson.
It'll be hard to make money with NIL if you are sitting on the bench. So, that may help to spread the talent a bit among all the CFB teams. Or, one can at least hope it will
