With some conversations about our class this year possibly being best ever I'd consider 1978 a benchmark. In Johnny Majors first season at TN he had no restriction on the number of players he could sign. It wasn't just quantity. Here are some of the guys...
  • James Berry
  • Terry Daniels
  • Lee Otis Burton
  • Charles Gillespie
  • Anthony Hancock
  • Lemont Holt Jeffers
  • Kenny Jones
  • Lee North
  • Mike Terry
  • John Warren
  • Daryl Wilson
  • Carlton Gunn
  • Tim Daniels
  • Mike Cofer
Not a lot of recruiting services back then, so Parade All America team was gold. Seven of these guys were on Parade list first, second or third team.

I'm too old to remember the exact number but a bunch of these guys were the #1 players from their states that year. Thinking best in TN, MS, VA, GA. IDK.

Damn I am old.
