They have a slim chance to crack the top 25 at some point next year, but if they don't when this group of players is seniors it could be another 5-10 years depending on recruiting classes. You have to remember now that they are in the Summit League their schedule is going to be a lot tougher playing teams like Oral Roberts (beat Kansas last year), Oakland (been in the tourney before), and IUPUI is also a tough team. Their nonconference schedule will also get a lot tougher as well. I know they play some big name teams right now, but if a few year they'll probably play teams like Wichita St., Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois, and other top midmajors on a yearly basis.
