Among the players who Dawkins had the opportunity to coach, who should have made the NBA, bud did not due to poor development?  (I think no one.  I certainly don't think that the coaching staff is to blame for Randle's lack of speed or size.  I think the coaching staff has done a great job helping him become an excellent college player.) 

Whether it's bad recruiting or bad development, they both fall to the head coach.  Net net is that Stanford basketball has consistently underperformed over the last six seasons.

If we accepted that players were busts after 2 years of not contributing, then we would have written off Landry Fields.  That's why I said that we should wait and see how Rosco and Verhoeven play this year.

iirc, Fields was playing quality minutes even as a sophomore, and the bench was WAY deeper.  My point is that last year's team had a rotation of three big men, and the ONLY time Verhoeven saw the floor was when all three of them were in foul trouble.  That wasn't the case with Fields.  And Verhoeven's numbers from last year make Fields' sophomore numbers look all-conference.
