Right now, comparisons to Pel and Heath are just about all we can do right now in terms of basketball.
I'm not disagreeing with you on the Bobby Portis or Moses Kingsley signings. It was extremely fortunate that they were Arkansas kids. That being said, what would an out of state recruit see in Arkansas as a program? If we get some success with the kids we have and get some direction, then I can see us getting more out of state kids. I don't like the low-ranked recruiting class, but I'm going to wait and see before judging those guys.
I can't really call Anderson's system outdated, and that's for three reasons. The first is that that system made the Elite 8 just a few short years ago. The second is that Anderson has adjusted to the rules in the last few years. He's not as aggressive with the press as Nolan was, and takes more time to set up half court defenses. The third is that our problem is scoring on the road (particularly jump shots), not defense.

No, Moses is not from Arkansas, but didn't he play on the Wings AAU?
ETA: He was on the Wings team with Portis.

He played with Wiggins last year, so he should be at Kansas?
The 8th degrees of separation angle some place on Anderson is weird...
