In terms of next year's expectations:
- We went 6-12 last season. And that was with having to play notable minutes to walk-ons Collins and French at times.
- The roster this year is clearly better than the roster last season. The best vets who played last season except for Mek are returning (Starks, Nebo, Chandler, Flagg, Mitchell). We essentially lost Mek, Mahan, and Walker (and Collins if you want to count him) in exchange for Buzz's recruits Andre Gordon, Quenton Jackson, Yeezy Gultekin, Jonathon Aku, Cassius McNeilly, and Bakari Simmons. That's 6 incoming and 3/4 outgoing. Obviously a lot more depth to work with. I don't count losing Gilder cause he didn't play last year anyways.
- The schedule...it is Buzz's first season and the SEC has gotten harder but there will still be several games against the likes of Arky, Vandy, and Bama who are also going to be breaking in new coaches.
Buzz brought almost his entire staff over from V-Tech. His track record is clearly better than Kennedy. Barring a lot of injury issues (particularly maybe to Nebo) and just no 'buy-in' from Kennedy's players, I really think 9-9 (about a .500 conference record) isn't unreasonable to hope for. Why can't Buzz win 3 more conference games than Kennedy did last season, given that Buzz will have a better roster than BK did? I think he'll have a decent shot to.

Yup. The flip side of this made enjoying the good times so much harder the last 8 years.Double Diamond said:

Assistant coaches selection Grade "C", Did Buzz do a national search? Was he limited by how much funds were available? IMHO, Buzz could have brought in several upcoming coaching talent assuming funding was available

Starks was never the best player. My lord some of you are just not watching.
