The Johnny Dawkins era on The Farm has yielded mixed results already, and the future is even more in question than before
Let's rewind back nearly a year to the NIT championship game. Stanford has just beaten Miami. The small crowd of Cardinal faithful who made the trek to Madison Square Garden applauds the team, which poses with the array of trophies. The baggy white t-shirts that tournament officials slapped on them proclaim them champions.
Chasson Randle, the program's all-time leading scorer, hoists the shiny silver jug, and flashes a tired smile. His enthusiasm is visibly tempered -- and it's not just because Stanford has just been bestowed the honor of being the 69th best team in the nation.
