I think we are basically on the same page. Norm kept the in state talent, but rarely the elite in state talent. Later in his tenure, the top talent went to kU, Gtown, UCLA, Arizona, Colorado, etc. Peeler was probably the last elite talent we kept and that was the late 80s.

I think we are too. And I agree about later in Norm's career. And I'm not saying it's the end all as to whether or not KA is a success. It's a part of it, but not all. Many Mizzou fans have bemoaned the lack of ability to land the instate recruits over recent years. This hiring was the chance and the opportunity that should have been used to fix that, and hopefully he does.
I tried finding a quote from KA directly, but through Puryear's mouth, KA said:
Not happening again means they'll go get Tatum, Porter and others. I know realistically they're not going to get them all, but my bar starts with the fact he should.
From that same article.

“They wanted to keep me home — they said that a lot,” Puryear said. “Mizzou has missed out on some pretty big Missouri guys in the past. They said they don’t want that to happen again.”

quote:
Anderson can't talk about specific recruits, per NCAA rules, but on Monday he re-emphasized his desire to recruit from the state of Missouri — a message he also made clear at his April press conference.
