I stumbled across this article today and came here to make sure it had been posted. One of the best Stanford basketball articles I've read in quite a while. As for his one-and-done status, it doesn't bother me. Sure, I miss the days when we could root for a player for four seasons, but I can blame neither the player who wants to make money in the NBA nor the program that wants to nurture him for a year. 

One other note -- any article that's about someone named Williams and begins with a red wheelbarrow, is okay by me!

So much depends
On Ziare Williams
Glazed with sweat
Driving to the hoop

Nice, but for true haiku, more like:

So much depends on 
Z-Will all glazed in sweat
Driving to the hoop

(There’s your 5-7-5 syllables.)

The English teacher in me demands that I point out we're not looking for a haiku. Here's the original...

so much depends
on

a red wheel
barrow

glazed with rain
water

beside the white
chickens


Now here's a reworking:

so much depends
on

a five-star
freshman

showered with true
accolades

beside his talented
teammates
