A player who is stuck on the bench and not getting much playing time can comfort himself in knowing that at the end of his four years he will be leaving with a bachelor’s degree from Stanford. You might even argue that this is especially important for those stuck on the bench; they are unlikely to be going to the NBA, so the degree has even more value.
So far precisely 1 of Haase's outbound transfers has been a non-grad transfer, so you're spot on. For comparison, 4 of Oregon's portal entrants this year alone are underclassmen...and they didn't even have a coaching change.
