Key notes from Dr. John Thornton

  • I love that anything is possible. When Bucky McMillan was putting the roster together, he did a remarkable job. Would the talent level stack up with the rest of the SEC? He didn’t know. But there was potential there. He had to put it all together in a short period of time. Missouri, Vanderbilt and Kentucky did it. It is about players buying into it. But it is kind of a roll of the dice.
