If you would allow me to answer...
On this one, Anderson may get a few, but I think Self has several advantages when it comes to landing the top talent.
-School Tradition is big IMO when it comes to atracting talent. Missouri has been good for many years (minus the Quin years) but as much as I hate kansas, I have to admit they have been among the elite numerous times throughout the years tradition-wise
-I also think that top talent wants minutes and stats. Our best player plays less than 2/3 of the game. In Anderson's system, it seems that there are no real stars, it's a team. IMO top talent won't get the minutes that many want to play.
-And, no matter how good the player is, if he opts for MU over KU, according to KU fans, the player really wasn't up to the level of all the hype he got anyway.
However, I don't think Anderson really needs top shelf talent with his system. I think he'd rather have 8-10 really good players than one or two top talent players and a bench that contains a lot of scrubs.
