The conference was stacked with talent this year especially senior talent. Look at who top teams lose. The top 7 teams besides us lose 22 full starters, 2 sixth men and 4 other part time starters.
UT and UK come out with the least losses. Mizzou, Ole Miss and Miss St come out with rosters basically intact. Look for significant improvement by those three
Before the season I predicted us to go 14-2 and win the conference. Didn’t see A&M as coming together as they did🤷♂️ I also said Beat us this year because all you gonna get the next two at least is ass whippings. 16-0 the next two years
A&M: Wilson, Wells, Jones, Johnson, and Pitts. Four starters and leading scorers plus first sub off the bench
Bama: Walker, Lewis and Copeland all avg over 15 ppg
UT: Davis, their best player and Kushkituah part time starter and first player off the bench
Ark: Dungee, Slocum, Ramirez and Thomas all four are starters and top 3 scorers
UGA: Staiti, Morrison, Connally, Caldwell all four starters and top 4 scorers
LSU: 4 starters plus two players who started 10 and 6 games
UK: Patterson and McKinney both starters. Patterson is a huge loss. Also they lose Wyatt who was a solid bench contributor
