If there’s one thing Dawn Staley, A’ja Wilson and South Carolina women’s basketball team wanted people to take away from the SEC media day on Thursday, it was this: The national champions are, for all intents and purposes, gone.

“A majority of the people who were actually at the (national championship) are gone, so it’s not really a lot of us, we’re outnumbered,” Wilson said. “The new girls, they haven’t really been through that national championship run, so they don’t know what that is, they can’t talk about it because they technically haven’t won it.
