Ziaire was NBA-bound the second he came to Stanford. Davis was a diva who influenced Wills' poor decision.
To winflop's "hot take": it is indeed a hot take and I bet no players besides the seniors leave.
KZ Okpala
Tyler Terry
Reid Travis
Cormac Ryan
Have I missed any? You can come up with a reason why any of them may have left. Terry and Okpala went to the NBA (though going in order to be a second round pick is not a great look), Travis left as a grad transfer, and Ryan was recruited over. But cumulatively the transfers from the Haase program paint a picture of a program that doesn’t really develop players, who therefore elect to leave.

Cartwright and Sheffield were two big losses. Cartwright started at PG for UCI's NCAA team. Sheffield was a shooter on a team in dire need of shooting.
Several others left (Pugh, White. M. Allen, Walker) but were of less consequence.
Haase has not valued experience and pushed players out or didn't use his recruiting prowess to retain them. Also for two years some of upper classmen (Davis, Wills, Delaire) have cratered. He needs to evaluate what he is doing that results in this slide among key players.
