Vanderbilt wasn't expected to be good in Kevin Stallings' second year in Nashville, and they weren't. But this was about sorting out a six-player freshman class as much as anything else.
On the court, Vanderbilt's record in 2000-01 might have been 15-15, and the Commodores finished last in the SEC East. But that was pretty much expected. As we saw when we looked at 1999-00, Jan van Breda Kolff had left behind a strong senior class but very little behind it thanks to poor recruiting and attrition; this was the year that those issues started to come to light.
