Missouri is generally a nice state and Missourians are by and large are very nice people, but St. Louis will never be Chicago and Kansas City will never be Dallas. The state of Missouri will never be California or Texas. That's just reality.
The most notable thing about Tiger basketball is the fact that Norm Stewart participated as a player and coach in so many games, that he was fixture at Mizzou for so long. And that's about it. The program hasn't won a lot of conference championships, hasn't been to a Final Four and hasn't won an NCAA title.
If (1) a kid is a really talented basketball player, (2) wants to play on the national stage and (3) has no particular connection to Mizzou, it's pretty much a lock that he's not coming to Mizzou. That's just the plain and simple truth. Just like it's the plain and simple truth that if Missouri kid can get into Harvard or Stanford, he or she isn't going to Mizzou.
