It is VERY rare to get a guy that tall (taller than 6'1") that can change direction quickly and has the hips for CB. CB's have to have the best change of direction skills and speedquickness out of anybody, as the WR knows where he is going, the DB does not and has to react accordingly.
You are right about Bama. Coach Saban has a "template" for each position, meaning an ideal height/weight/body type and with few exceptions he does not deviate from it, no matter how talented a kid is. He will miss on a few, but percentages say that he will hit more than miss.

Off the top of my head Kareem Jackson at 5'10" is the only DB Saban has recruited under 5'11". Will Lowery at 5'9" saw a lot of action as a nickel safety under Saban but he was a walk on.
