Hooookay. I feel like I've gone from being a Haase booster, to a Haase enthusiast, to a Haase apologist, to, now, finally, a Haase skeptic. Three grad transfers in two years is not a great look - especially when both of last year's ended up starting for teams that went to the Big Dance and we stayed home entirely. Although I've long held the position that Haase should get four recruiting classes to prove himself, I'm beginning to think next year may need to be the "put up or hang it up" year for Haase, because he's hemorrhaging players at a rate I can't ever remember seeing at Stanford. I realize transfer disease has become a pandemic in college basketball, but it's sad to think that the best selling point for our players is to stay just long enough to get their diploma - the basketball is clearly not why they're staying.
