There's a world of difference between being a team with national title aspirations and being a team that makes the NCAAs and contends for a conference title. Transfers may hurt/eliminate Stanford's chances of the former, but the latter is still very achievable.

Also, I don't buy for one second that one-and-dones hurt Stanford and have it argued directly with Muir. How much better would Kentucky be if Calipari's players stayed for a minimum of three years? We agreed to disagree.

All of that aside, transfers and one-and-dones are no excuse for the last 12 years of mediocre men's basketball. Haase will get next year (not my preference), but the mediocrity needs to end.
