I think diet is the huge piece to it. I know Alabama football has a lot of resources contributed to a team nutritionist and staff who literally has a personalized shake waiting for them in their lockers after each practice/workout depending on if the player is trying to lose weight, bulk up or maintain and then likewise have specific stations and meals afterwards for each player's goals in the team eating area at the football facility. Then that's paired with their strength & conditioning guy, Cochran, who is widely regarded as the best in the country for football and has some pretty great clips and videos out there. There's a reason Saban pays him like $525k+ a year.

I don't really know anything about Cabiles good or bad. I do kinda get the impression though that how JB is pretty laid back about off court stuff that it wouldn't surprise me if he kinda leaves it up to each player to spend as much or as little time in the weight room as they prefer. So some of it might be as simple as falling on the players shoulders. Lydon looked like he didn't really do much of anything and meanwhile I remember Jerami blew up between his freshman and sophomore year and got even more athletic after the added weight. I agree overall though that it doesn't seem like there's a consistent emphasis across the board on the S&C aspect of things.
