Jericole Hellems, 6'7" sophomore forward from STL is starting for the NC State Wolfpack this year and giving scoring punch we lack. Last night in a win over Wisconsin he had 23 points, was 4-6 from three point range, 4 rebounds, a steal, and a block.
More of the roster you could build with regional talent (mind you this is always true of the Missouri and metro STL and KC regions):

The above also doesn't mention Jordan Goodwin at SLU who did consider us and is a rebounding phenom as a guard, Ochai Agbagi or whatever his name is who starts for ku, Jordan Barnes who is a three point gunner and four year starter for Indiana State, etc.
No school ever gets all its regional talent of course. But its well documented over the years that Missouri as the only P5 school in a state with two significant metro areas has pretty much always lost more of its available regional talent than most.
