I'm inclined to give Haase some benefit of the doubt here. The reason we're not excited is because Dawkins recruited pretty poorly in his final two years at the Farm, which is why we have no notable upperclassmen.

That's not quite how I would describe the situation.
First off, by now it has been some time since Dawkins. His second to last class would all be fifth years were they around.
His last class was down a notch, but the player rankings weren't bad. Considerable not panning out there, for whatever reason.
Haase's first year was a little rough - with only Pugh and Stanback - though it's always tough to recruit through a transition.

Overall, Stanford basketball recruiting seems to have been better than Stanford basketball performance for some time now - at least if you believe the recruiting services.
