Wayne Hamilton: The Top 20 College Football Recruiting Classes of All Time, March 28, 2012

By (Featured Columnist) on June 7, 2011 

6. Alabama '76

Bear Bryant is viewed as maybe the greatest CFB coach ever, so we always ask which was his best team? Well, according to the folks in Tuscaloosa, it was the '79 squad.

The foundation for that team? The '76 recruiting class baby. Although not many became household names or NFL stars, the class did feature OC Dan Stephenson, Don McNeal, Wayne Hamilton (Leesburg High School, Okahumpka Florida), Curt McGriff and Steadman Shealey.

This class helped win Alabama two national titles and an 12-0 record in '79.
