I believe that's how Michigan State came to be considered one of the current "bluebloods" even though they were never a traditional powerhouse. Sparty is our blueprint.
According to the scholarship chart, He will be here two more years. Using his redshirt this year after being at NIU as a true frosh and sophomore I believe.
Wouldn't say dynasty, but perennial power most definitely. I just want Fred for fifteen more years, max 30 years. Is that too much to ask?
Arguable. Even without the controversy, Iowa State had regressed in Larry's final year.
We don't even know how good we are going to be with McKay, Nader and Custer. We haven't even seen any of those kids play against good teams yet. Thomas, Morris, and Long all have to improve. Don't get me wrong I think we will be good, but we might not be as good as this year's team. This year's team is something special.
No, for me, a dynasty has to be a period of sustained success. The only team that really fits that bill is UCLA in the 60s/70s. Blue Bloods are historically teams that have had continued success over decades....that ain't us. Now, maybe someday I could see us achieving 'New Blood' status alongside the likes of your Louisvilles, Michigan States, and Floridas.
If we regularly finish at the top of the Big 12 and win conference titles and hopefully even a national title, I'd be fine with the label of 'Perennial Powerhouse'. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, we have a long, long way to go first.

We have no idea who may join the team as transfers for 2014-15 season so I am a bit hesitant about using the D word. And we have yet to win our first championship so no dynasty talk yet please.
Also said last year. To be fair, it is (was) valid in both instances, but it's worth pointing out that at some point, we have to be comfortable knowing the team will be different every year, but that it won't be worse.
I don't think we'll ever see a "dynasty" again in college basketball the way it's defined in other sports or even the NBA. There's just way too much parity and the champion is determined by a 68-team single elimination tournament. Since John Wooden retired, there have only been two programs to win back-to-back titles (Duke and Florida). No team has pulled off a threepeat. The shortest amount of time it's taken any program to win three titles is 11 seasons (Duke from 1991 to 2001).
I think the best way to measure a dynasty in college basketball would be consecutive tournament appearances. If you do that, you see the usual suspects of Kansas, Duke, North Carolina, Indiana, Kentucky, and Michigan State topping the list, and by a long shot.
We've got a long way to go any way you define a dynasty.

Well said. And, Fred has shown he can find missing pieces, maximize the talent of what is in front of him. You would think his recruiting should get bigger names as his/our profile gain more respect. As you all know with college bball, get that one right guy or recruit and you can really elevate to the next level.
