“People talk about this portal all the time," Swinney said. "Do I prefer the portal? No. But am I opposed to it? No, absolutely not."

Swinney said that they have considered taking players in the portal before, but it has to be the right fit.... "...but guess what? They got to love you too. Just because you want them don’t mean they want you. And then other guys that we have evaluated, but we like the guys we have here."

So, to paraphrase (and possssssibly editorialize): Dabo (1) tells everybody how much he hates the portal, and (2) expresses mild surprise that top portal targets don't choose to come to Clemson.

I don’t know if he realizes that his point that “they have to love you too” is an indictment of him. If other programs can convince kids to transfer there and you can’t, you might not be good at your job since that’s a big part of it.

I feel like this is basically a summary of Dabo's entire existence.

Dabo has always struck me as somebody with the self-righteousness dialed up to about 7, the conscious hypocrisy only about 5 (in a job where 3 or 4 is probably a hard floor to have any kind of success in both selling your program and winning games), but the cognitive dissonance cranked up past 11 somewhere until the knob broke off.

I'd say turn the conscious hypocrisy up a few notches, especially with his views on NIL. Otherwise, yeah this take is money.
