Blalock and Stinson were absolute studs.
Had Blalock played another year, he'd go down as one of the best PG's ISU has had. I remember he'd put up 10+ assists against Kansas repeatedly.

Or just once.
Came off the bench in his first game against KU and had 11/0 in 33 minutes. The rest of his games against KU...meh:
7/5
3/2
6/5
6/4
6/3
That little era, while a recovery from the Larry situation, is still a mystery that they only managed one NCAA tourney.
Will did have a stroke, so not surprising...One of the podcasts I subscribe to had Stinson on last week and in that interview Stinson said he and Will are still buddies and they talk frequently. It would be cool if they both played on the Hilton Magic Legends team but Stinson said Blaylock no longer plays. Very fun back court.
This will always be my favorite Will Blalock play:

I always felt Wayne Morgan was never given free reign to run the program as he wished. Yes, there were the alleged (and never proven) recruiting violations, but the man was able to guide a team that was supposedly going nowhere in his first season to the final four of the NIT. The next season was an NCAA visit. And then there was the third season where the stars of the team acted like they only needed to walk on the court in order to win: the result was missing the NCAA and the NIT, and a pack of wolves hollering for Morgan's head (and wanting him replaced with McDermott - a huge mistake). No, I don't blame Blaylock and Stinson for skipping their final season and going Pro. There was a bad vibe surrounding the program back then, and it only got worse when Greg McDermott arrived.
