Not necessarily immediately, but over a period of say, two to three years? I believe it's very possible.

Back in August, no one here believed that MU would accomplish what they've accomplished, and yet here we are.

Now you tell ME who Sporting News Coach of the Year should be.

No.

Most truly top level recruits do not want to play the kind of basketball that Anderson preaches. They don't want to play in a motion offense. They want to slackass on defense, get fed the ball every possession, isolate and drive, or shoot jumpers.

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.
