but what I am seeing is an ability to recruit big time players outside the state. Too often previious administrations focused on the need to recruit from Missouri first, then nationally. I don't think Gates and company gives two shits about the need to secure the state.
I can't blame the previous coaches, it only seemed logical. Missouri for the longest time had a disproportionate number of division 1 basketball players and we are the only power 5 team in the state. Problem is that the players themselves don't seem to buy into that.
Oddly enough, if he continues to recruit well outside the state, and win this is a must, probably will lead to much better in state recruiting.
