I still think the recruiting angle is going to be a tougher sell. Even if you have great recruiting assistants, they still need to LIKE the head coach, too.

I've seen Kim Anderson speak in public. I've been to Mizzou camps where he showed up and spoke and did some coaching.

He's not exactly Mr. Personality.

Let's say Missouri is in a recruiting battle for a kid from St. Louis with Illinois. Let's just pretend Missouri has hired Corey Tate to be its primary guy in St. Louis.

Illinois is sending its St. Louis ace down there (whose name escapes me at the moment). John Groce makes an appearance pretty often, too. He's actively involved in that recruiting.

On the other hand, the only guy that kid hears from at Mizzou is Corey Tate, because Anderson is just there to X and O, and Tate and Fuller are the recruiters.

That's going to be a factor for a lot of kids. Maybe not ALL kids, but a lot.
