The real issue is relying on a non elite freshman for significant minutes.
Had Santos panned out Brown Barry plays and Mizzou has a 4th year junior getting those minutes.
You can win a lot recruiting the way Cuonzo has, if the evaluations are correct. But you won’t if the players you take early don’t end up being productive upperclassmen.
Essentially there are 2 ways to win. Consistently recruit top 50-60 players or develop and always have productive upperclassmen.
Mile Anderson won a lot here because they always had those upperclassmen.
