Wow! I'd forgotten what a recruiter Gene Robbins was. Four of our best players all-time from one recruiting class. Of course, they blossomed under Bill Blakeley. But Robbins signed Terry Bailey, Lurch Davis, Fred Mitchell and Kenneth Williams in the same year.

Jeryl Sasser 1971-72? Any relation to the Jason and Jeryl Sasser of Tech and SMU?

And whatever happened to Pete Sands. 1935-1960? How often does that happen these days?

I think that Pete Sands died in the 80s. He was around 60 when he retired in 1959.

Longevity doesn't happen much enymore. Coaching salaries are through the roof and there's too much parity to build dynasties anymore. There are a few coaches at Division III schools that have been there more than 20 years and don't want the pressure of moving to a Division I program.
