From a talent standpoint, the program was set back to the time of Dr. Tom Davis on the day the Lopez twins declared for the NBA draft. Responsibility for that state of affairs falls on Trent Johnson, and to some extent, the admissions regime at the time.

I have confidence that Dawkins is turning the program around. In two seasons he\'s gotten more out of very weak talent than any of us expected. And he seems to have gotten recruiting on-track.  I would be thrilled if Stanford makes the NCAA tournament this year, and I won\'t be shocked if it happens, but I also don\'t think that\'s a fair standard to judge Dawkins by. By 2011-2012, we should absolutely be a tournament team.
