Do you think this isn't the worst roster in the last 20 or 30 years. I guess a person could make the argument that it's 2nd or 3rd worst with Kim's other teams being worse.

It really is devoid of anything but a handful of role players. A roster with good talent doesn't lose at the level we've seen. This roster will have to be completely rebuilt. The best players are likely borderline starters on an average SEC team.

I've used this example in the past but remember Aaron Bruce at Baylor? He averaged 18 PPG as a freshman on a terrible team during Drew's rebuild. As a senior he averaged 8 PPG on a tourney team. I see a 2 or 3 of our players being in that boat. They can score double digits on a really bad team. On a good team they would be in the 5-7 point range.
