I am excited by Babers' offense.  I am excited by the perception of a good recruiting class.

Am I the only one that doesn't like hearing about coaches preferences for certain body types?  In this article it is mentioned that Brinson and Scott were not pursued by Babers or not as high a priority from the new staff in some part because of their height/size.  Certainly there is some benefit to being taller or wider but you have to have talent.

As a Bills fan I have seen them pick EJ Manual and pass on Russell Wilson.  The GM essentially said because of the "prototypical" NFL QB size.  Antoine Winfield is all of 5'9" 181 and not only a great CB, but also one of the best hitters at the position.

If you have two players neck and neck in your evaluations, pick the taller one if that is a difference maker, but I just hope we are not letting Russell Wilson (Scott) get away so that Rex Culpepper (EJ Manual) can get a shot.  Not that I think that is their respective futures, but because I don't want a couple of inches to be the deciding factor.
