7-foot Will Baker enters transfer portal; Top 5 landing spots

2. Stanford 

Stanford made Baker’s final four list of schools during his original recruitment and Cardinal head coach Jerod Haase is still there. Their familiarity makes Stanford a viable option for Baker, especially since a school spokesperson confirmed on March 10 that Haase will return amid speculation of his future with the program. The speculation stemmed from the fact that Stanford just finished its fifth consecutive season at .500 or below in the Pac-12. That alone should make Baker a top priority for Haase and the program this offseason since he could step in and be a difference maker from day one.
