I agree.  Often times the debate has been presented as Trent Johnson versus Johny Dawkins, as if it was a binary choice.  However, over the long term, I'm not sure either of them would have been great for Stanford.  I put my opinion of Dawkins earlier in this thread, but my suspicion is that if Johnson had stayed, he would have struggled as well once the Lopez brothers left.  The depth of our fall probably wouldn't have been so great on account of Plumlee staying, but I doubt we'd be much better than ok.
