This is brobdingnagian. That we're even talking about whether this recruiting class is as good or better than 2014 is terrific, because Dawkins had had half a decade to recruit that class, and this is after Haase's first season. Moreover, whereas we were coming off two extremely solid years with the Lopii twins and had been a top tournament seed several years prior to Dawkins' arrival, this class is signing up solely on their faith in Haase (and the awesomeness of Stanford generally, of course), because the program at this point has had no significant history, reputation, or credibility for the middle school and high school years of these players. Major props to Haase and his assistants.
