"Missouri, their staff was recruiting me, but Coach (Mike) Anderson hadn't seen me play," Dixon said. "I don't think he head seen me play, I think he had seen highlights, but he hadn't seen me play, himself. He wasn't recruiting me, it was more like his staff, the assistant coaches and everyone was calling me and trying to get me on the phone. My parents talked to them. They wanted them to bring me out. But he hadn't seen me play, he wasn't recruiting me, so I didn't feel comfortable going to a situation like that."
sys, you realize this is exactly how ksu is operating right now
Coach Anderson was pretty lucky to have Carroll and Lyons. Carroll is his nephew and transferred from Vanderbilt. Lyons wanted to sign with Kentucky out of high school and his mom made him sign with Mizzou. Coach Anderson's going to need to step it up on the recruiting trail if he wants to make it back to the Elite Eight.
