Though everyone would've decided that Kansas was a disorganized shithole.
It appears the lesson to be learned it - just do what you do. You're going to lose some kids and their families because of it (Durron Neal), but you're going to gain others. Don't try to fit your style to your recruits.
I think it shows that being genuine to yourself is probably the way to go. In the end, you just don't know what is going to get these kids on campus.

Very True, It seems the staying the course and being yourself is the best action. Like you put it, you going to win some and loss some, but that is part of the process. I think Mizzou's style recruting style was a great fit to DGB's personality and it obviously shows.
