Now. thai would he some offense to contend with. Who could possibly defend all those stars? Of course, it will never happen. possibility. The network has honored William Payton, Younger and other black college stars by naming them to its 100-year, all-time black college team. ^There isn't any question about the quality of talent that the black col legoduced over the years, "Sheridan's Charlie Neal said recently. That's an understatement. Sheridan's all-time team would be the most dominant in college football and because all the players went on to play in the NFL, FAMU Recruiters Shut Out Did the loss of assistant coach Kent Schooltield hurt Florida A&M's football this year? That's a question some fans were asking after the Rat tlers failed to sign a player from talent_ - rich South Florida on the first binding signing day. FAMU, after the larger schools signed the players they wanted, gener ally has had its pick of the top talent in South Florida. But not this year. On the first binding signing day in Febru ary, when virtually all of the top play ers made final commitments, FAMU found itself shut out of Dade and Broward counties. Miami and Fort Lauderdale are among the cities locat ed in those counties. Schofield, the Rattlers' offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator, left after the season to become an assistant at Temple. He was one of FAMU's chief recruiters in South Florida. "After Schoolfield pulled out, it - kind of hurt them," said Earnest Perkins, head coach at Edison High in South Florida. "We haven't heard from them since Kent left." Schoolfield's departure diminished the Rattlers' chances of signing Edison defensive lineman Chad Shaker (6-3, 220). The Rattlers were beaten in South Florida by Albany State, which signed six players from Dade county. Shakers was one of them. this team probably would win the. Super Bowl, too; - Williams, arguably the greatest quarterback ever the play lor a black college, would have a hugfe offensive line anchored by Art SheM (Maryland State), Rayfield Wright (Fort Valley State), Jackie Slater (Jackson. Stale), Larry Little (Belhune-Cookman), and Ernie Barnes (North Carolina Central). That offense would be able to do anything - throw deep, run between the> tackles, use the run-and-shoot whatever. Chances are that gargantuan offensive line would crush the opposi tion every lime. ^ It's likely that the only defense that could handle that offense would be the defensive unit picked for the l(X)-year, all-time black college team. This defensive line would be frightening, with these men forming a brick wall up front in a 3-4 alignment: Grambling's Willie Davis, Tennessee State's Ed "Too Tall" Jones and South Carolina State's Deacon Jones. The enemy offenses would need a squadron of running backs to weather the pounding thejr would take from ? Jones and Co. And the quarterbacks would frequently find themselves in a prone position. The defensive line would he backed by one of the greatest line backer corps ever. Arkansas A&M's LC Greenwood, Jackson slate's Robert Brazille, South Carolina Slate's Henn^Carson and Morgan State's Willie Lanier would stand ready to pounce on an enemy runner would dared sneak past the front line. In the backfield would be defen sive backs Mel Blount (Southern), Lem Barney (Jackson State), "Donnie Shell (South Carolina State) and Ever son Walls (Grambling). Not many receivers would get past that bunch. Sheridan formed the team to honor the 100th year of black college foot ball. Jones, still an active supporter of black college athletics, was the keynote speaker during a banquet in Baltimore to honor the team. WOULD $40/000 HELP WITH COLLEGE?
