It’s just that it makes it easier for the coaches come summer camp and the season if more of your players are super quick or super large & strong .
While I directionally agree with your premise, I don't think we can ignore the fact that the premise held a lot more weight when BB was hired and long before that. This is a new age where $$ legally buys recruits (hi, Mizzou) and the transfer portal drastically reduces the average recruit's time on campus
Give BB and staff 4+ years to shape AJ Dennis, Calvin Smith, Zach Tobe, J. Knight, etc. and we'd feel pretty good. But, it's near impossible to be a developmental school these days, so if you aren't landing big time prep talent, you are at a significant disadvantage.
