whereas Odom's roster (by his final season) did not.
Drink inherited a couple good players, but there are *85 scholarship players* on a team. The depth was (and still is) razor thin... in fact it's the worst in the entire SEC, except for maybe Vanderbilt.
That will start to change in the next couple seasons when Drink's players are ready to contribute – assuming "NIL" doesn't make it impossible to retain them.
