I don't think the question is whether he can coach at the DI level, basketball is basketball. I suspect based on his success at DII that he is at least as good if not better an Xs and Os coach as 50% of major college coaches in the country.

A tireless, charismatic recruiting staff. They work hard, impress kids and parents, and close like Eff You, That's What My Name Is! In Glengarry Glen Ross. A good school tradition with quality facilities. The ability to sell next-level development. A track record of success. Wins at that level. An ability to relate to modern, high-level players. Kim Anderson is a question mark in just about all of these areas, except for the school/tradition/facilities part of it.

All the teams have fewer players, but it magnifies the talent difference between the studs on the D1 teams. For example: Daylen Robinson was a stud for CMSU this year, but averaged about 3 points on less than 30 percent shooting from the field for Texas Tech... which was one of the WORST D1 teams when he was there. Quote:
I have a great many doubts about his ability to acquire high D1 talent, enough to make Missouri a top 30 program. If they were surrounding him wth a staff full of proven recruiters who could do that, I'd be all for it. Instead, it looks like his staff is going to be his two D2 assistants and Corey Tate, who also - guess what - has never coached at the D1 level. Awful lot of question marks there. Awful lot of risk.

I don't know how many of these Haith or Anderson checked, other than they were D1 coaches before.... but I get your point. I think this is going to be a case of securing the state and coaching up 2 star recruits with a smattering of 3 stars from time to time.... but who knows.

Mike Anderson recruited Rodney Purvis to Arkansas, and Haith was able to secure high end recruits (underperformance or not) like J3, Clark, Wright, and Gant.
We will be lucky to ever get a 4* recruit with this clown staff in place. Before long, Missouri hoops will look like Alabama sans Travis Releford.

Aside from sucking in the short-term, this is the type of disastrous hire that makes the overall job far less appealing when the university is looking to fill it again in three years. The program is mediocre now, and I expect it to be bottomed out then.
