Bryce Wills was one of the nation’s youngest players last season, and this year blossomed into perhaps the conference’s best defender.
When their starting five was on the court, they were among the most efficient lineups in the conference. But if you look back at that losing streak, there was more to it than just slumping play. Tyrell Terry will likely be an even steadier floor general in 2021.
Once promising season derailed by mid-season collapse. Most everyone in the know had them finishing 10th in the Pac-12, and envisioned them struggling to win more than a few games. If there’s one thing that’s been clear following this team, it’s that the players buy in to Haase and what he’s building.
This team will be better next year. An NIT bid seemed like a long shot. That meant significant playing time for a walk-on. There will be a second 3-and-D wing. Spencer Jones will continue to round out his game. Isaac White still hasn’t learned to catch the ball and be ready to shoot. By year end, he had become something of an offensive threat as well. There will be a second 3-and-D wing. Yet somehow, they turned into the nations 7th best opponent-adjusted defense, and showed they could play with anybody. Lukas Kisunas still gets happy feet under the basket. But more ball-handling and floor spacing is coming. There was significant player improvement, as Josh Sharma suddenly became a star and KZ Okpala turned into an NBA prospect. Last year’s team had flashes, but they weren’t anything special. He’s too busy building something special. Jaiden Delaire was peaking at the end, as well, and became a legitimate threat to score 20 off the bench.

Players once again took steps forward. The latest Tweets from Jerod Haase (@JerodHaase): "I'd just as soon kiss a Wookiee Bird.
Haase and his staff nearly always put their players in position to succeed.
And the player improvement that’s become a staple of Haase’s will manifest itself in exciting ways. Obviously they shot themselves in the foot at times. If you look at the second half of the year, they were a tournament team. Their energy level was among the best in the country, with few exceptions (Wednesday, unfortunately, being one of them). The second year showed a lot of promise.

Since arriving on The Farm, the Cardinal has won 48 games, recorded its best conference finish and most league wins in a decade and earned a postseason berth for the first time in three years. Ty falls in love with the mid-range when he often shouldn’t. With Travis and company now seniors, Haase went out and grabbed a marquee group of players the world over with his first Stanford class. James Keefe, who had been expected to walk-on and redshirt, played important minutes and swung a couple games in Stanford’s favor. This season, regardless of how it ended, was a remarkable coaching job by Jerod Haase and his staff. And there’s also a clear, deep bond that transcends basketball. The short answer is no. Just two months ago, the Cardinal were on the cusp of their first AP Poll ranking since the Lopez twins, and moments away from a 5-0 start to Pac-12 play. The defensive rotations will become second nature. But the lack of veteran leadership and roster continuity game to game derailed any hopes of doing more. That has a lot of people in the Stanford community wondering, should Jerod Haase’s job be in danger? Before the season, Kodye Pugh and Trevor Stanback were lost to injury. Yet if the NCAA tournament had been held this year, they more than likely would not have been part of it. Oscar da Silva went from an unassuming role player to a captain and First Team All-Conference.
Haase was a Naismith and Wooden Award candidate while at Kansas. And what’s more, his team was always ready to play hard for him. Continuity is a valuable thing in college basketball. This doesn’t happen by accident. The losing streak would’ve been a non-story, and their resume wouldn’t have even been particularly bubbly. Next year’s team will presumably have everyone back. And the player improvement that’s become a staple of Haase’s will manifest itself in exciting ways.
The front court depth will be better. Yes, there were still times where the players admitted to straying from the game plan for stretches, and other times shots didn’t fall, but the game plan itself was seldom the problem. His mantra of Invested, Tough, Selfless is borne out in the way that he carries himself every day, and it’s contagious. This year’s team didn’t fall into schematic failure as often as the casual fan may think. They were up big in Boulder before Oscar da Silva suffered a scary injury, which immediately led to a massive run by the Buffs as the Cardinal overcame their shock and grief. Once again, the injury bug hit Stanford. Wij willen hier een beschrijving geven, maar de site die u nu bekijkt staat dit niet toe. Lest we forget, though, they finished in a share of third place in the Pac-12, ahead of teams that went dancing.

The cancellation of all sporting events has overshadowed what was truly an embarrassing end to the season for Stanford. But for the first half of the season, they were playing without KZ Okpala, Dorian Pickens, Kodye Pugh, and Marcus Sheffield. The latest Tweets from Jerod Haase (@JerodHaase_UAB). Next year’s team is going to the tournament, and they’ll make their long-awaited return to the AP top 25. It’s not a jump to say that Stanford wins at least two of those with different injury luck. Daejon Davis will rekindle the shooting percentages that the face mask took away.
