quote:Those 2 are built much differently than Tyren Jones. As I said, Tyren Jones probably isn't even as tall as he is listed, which is 5-8.5. He is probably closer to 5'6 or 5'7, like Dee Hart. It might not be a popular opinion among Alabama fans, and some may disagree with it, but I just don't see him fitting in Alabama's offense as a running back.
Ingram and Richardson are both 5'9
Not much of a difference in height
I think Nick Saban prefers players that are more like Altee Tenpenny and Derrick Henry.

Tyren Jones is listed at both larger or the same weight as Ingram out of high school. And that a poor assumption that he has to be an inch or more shorter than his listed height, especially with all the camps that verify it. Really inconsistent rule of thumb.
And using Dee Hart is not really a great example, just purely for the fact Hart is a large unknown other than bring injury prone. His injuries have happened with zero contact, which doesn't reflect on what type of back he is. He hasn't done anything to use him as a comparison yet. I guess if a Saban Back is an uninjured back, then yeah, Hart isn't a Saban back.
It makes no sense to even mention him...
