Outsider, are you equating Haase following Dawkins to Shaw following Harbaugh? If not, please clarify.

I'm impressed by the Beavers and have picked them to do some damage in the tourney. None of Haase's teams have improved on the season, so I tend to agree with that part of your post. And I understand your point that Stanford is more recruitable than Oregon State, but if you factor in transfers, which are a much bigger deal in hoops than football, I'm not so sure. How many of OSU's current starters are transfers? At least two that I know of. This isn't to defend Haase so much as it is to note a pretty big disadvantage for the Stanford basketball program.

Tinkle took over a far less talented and recruiting-able program than Haase did.  Like David Shaw took over Harbaugh's rolling program.
