We were screwed over by Haiths inability to recruit.
Haith could recruit. I just don't think he could coach. He did get Jabari, Clarkson, Oriakhi and others. Maybe not great with the high schoolers. I would agree with that.

That is more of what I was meaning. He got plenty of big time transfers but when those guys left the cupboard was left empty because of his inability to get high school talent.

Haith was a terrible recruiter. He had no clue how to identify talent that would fit needs/systems. Just because he got some talented players didn't make them good recruits for Missouri.
His shortcomings in recruiting became glaringly obvious from his first to second seasons. When he inherited players from the previous staff, he took them at face value and coached to their obvious strengths. He had nothing else to go with.
When it came to his recruits, he coached them to try and be what he wanted them to become instead of what they were. It just didn't fit/work well enough given the talent levels. He tries to do too much with his own guys.
