Jeff Capel didn't make the same mistake Mike Anderson did, which would be not signing or offering the Gatorade POTY in your home state.
Mike Anderson let a 3-star guard go, who was the Gatorade POTY in Missouri, with offers from Colorado, Drake, Santa Clara, Missouri State, Wichita State, and late interest and offer from K-State.
He didnt even get an offer from Missouri.
That guy is Alec Burks who just won Big 12 freshman of the year at Colorado and is on 2011 NBA mock drafts in the lottery. He scored in double figures every game and averaged 17 on the season. Again, 3-star with mostly mid-major offers.
Great job, Coach Capel. At the very least Neal will be a solid contributor and a guy who helps the team get better and win for 4 years.
