Now comes Haase's biggest recruiting challenge yet, getting Williams to stay a second year so he could play alongside Ingram.

I doubt that happens.

So, yes, it's hard to believe in this day and age that a guy like Williams who is a sure-fire first round and (I assume) a probable lottery pick, would return for his sophomore season. That said, I gotta think he's not already dead set on leaving after this season for one reason: he chose to come to Stanford. If, like most players of his standing, he had chosen to go to UofA or USC, then yes, the plan would seem to be to bolt as soon as possible. And, perhaps even drop out of school as soon as the season ends. The question is, why would one come to Stanford if one is planning (or strongly leaning) towards leave after one's freshman season? Maybe he just really connected with Haase? Maybe he likes palm trees? Scratch that...they have those at U$C. 

That's not to say that I think he'll stick around for his second year. My guess is that he'll bolt. But, you gotta think he's open to the idea of sticking around. Thoughts????
