Haith lost Jankovic, Webster-Chan and Bull before his 3 seasons were up and Rector shortly after season 3.
Add in the behavior-related issues of Jones, Price, Criswell and Biedshied and it's clear where the instability in the program began.
And furthering that instability was the decision of the coach himself to transfer. If Haith remains at Mizzou, one would think that the odds of players he brought in -- like J3, Clark, Gant and Wright -- completing their eligibility at Mizzou would have increased. But based on what happened while Haith was here you can't say for sure.
Anderson's failure was in not reviving the on-court product quickly enough that the program was attractive enough to keep players.
