Fingers crossed! I am less surprised only in the sense that Haase has actually had a pretty good record of shipping guys off to the NBA, and for someone like Carlyle, I assume his top goal is to play for a year (or maybe two) and then go pro. The chance at a college title is always less than certain, even for a defending champ, but the 40 year decision is something he can always fall back on. Still, I'd be pretty surprised if he doesn't end up at Baylor.

Williams had a short, COVID-marred, and lackluster career at Stanford.  Did Haase make him a lottery pick, or did he already have the talent/potential coming into Stanford?  

Haase has coached two other NBA players -- Terry and Okpala -- but both were second round picks.  He also coached several other highly rated recruits at Stanford who transferred out and don't seem likely to make the NBA (Travis, Ryan, and Davis).  

That track record doesn't strike me as being that great, but I'll acknowledge that it's incredibly difficult for college players to make the pros, so I'm curious whether others here think that Haase has been good at developing talent for the pros.
