Think about Nolan Richardson's Arkansas teams. Who was the best player to ever come from there? Todd Day? Corliss Williamson? Oliver Miller's fatass? None of those guys were transcendental athletes by any stretch of the imagination.
Missouri will never out-recruit Self at KU. We'll never even have the level of talent that we had with Quin's first few classes, or Norm's better ones. But we will have teams that play much better as a team.

So basically, KU will have first shot at "Aaron Curry", while Anderson( Pioli )bypasses the glamor boys and mines more "middle round talent" that can be coached and developed in to players that can have just as much, if not more impact.
Got it, and I like it.
