Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 1640813, member: 485"] There can be too much emphasis on the idea that certain types "fit the Babers system". On defense, his coordinator had only one year with Babers, and was brought in after the 2014 defense at BG was bad. For this 2016 class, the staff recruited solid football players for the defense (light at DT, but touching every other position), with a little more height among the DBs. Can't say these kids "fit the Babers system" -- they could play in a lot of systems. He has a big LB in Ruff and a smaller faster LB in Rashed Smith, and one in the middle in Armstrong -- which one fits, or do they all? On offense, maybe the new OL recruits are leaner and taller, but it is harder to make a case that the offensive skill players fit a Babers system but not what we had. People throw out the idea of "not a fit" but rarely try to explain -- other than in the debatable case of Linsey Scott. [/QUOTE]
