IMO you need to look at basketball recruiting same as football. I know people say Arkansas produces good basketball talent, but Texas still produces a shitload more. At the end of the day it's the same numbers game.
Getting coaches out of Texas is smart business for Arkansas athletics.

No, you need to look at what is actually being recruited in basketball.
It doesn't really matter where the 4 year role player comes from, the fans may give the edge to the instate guy, but if the out of state guy who takes "his spot" has better height, handles, shot, etc to fill the role you need did you really "miss" on the instate guy no matter where he ends up? Probably not.
There are very few program changers in any given year, even this there is a game that has all of the top players in the country on the court at the same time, from this small group you rarely see more than 2 that are head and shoulders above the rest.
So, you can sign as many of this small elite talent group each year and roll the ball on the court in hopes of out talenting your competition or you can sign the role players to fill their roll on your team.
Every one here is clamoring for the role player recruiters whether they realize it or not.
