It took considerable recruiting prowess to get Tony Mitchell, Robert Whaley, and Travis Robinson to sign with MU. They were all big gets and we beat out considerable national programs for their services. But they contributed a combined nothing to MU.
Whereas Clarkson was mostly a last minute nice to have addition, and may go on to be MU's highest scoring NBA player of all time.
MU used to be a school that regularly landed top guys out of high school. We gave up on men's basketball for the most part shortly after moving to the SEC, and that certainly hasn't been the case since that point.
