Why Marshall Won't Leave WSU

[ShoxRoxMySox]

He's younger and may appeal more to the 5* kids they always get.

So who's funding a Shaka to Texas campaign? I got $5 on it, haha

It wouldn't take long and Marshall would be making clowns of the Big12.

I wouldn't fault him one bit leaving for Texas. Heck you could put together a Title contender in a year, wouldn't even have to recruit out of state. Make killer money, and live in Austin, which lets face it...a little bit nicer than Wichita.

My only hope is that if/when Marshall does leave he doesn't burn this place down like Turg did.

Speaking of Turg, he really had a great run in Tejas.

Marshall will leave, let's just hope he doesn't take Baker or others with him.

Exactly. Marshall would be the man to break the streak for KU. He'd do it in his first season. :)

Hopefully his reputation as a being bad at interviews is true.

I remember Edie Fogler was a hot and wanted coach at WSU. He turned down Texas a year or two before he bolted to Vandy.

Marshall is going to Texas. It hasn't been leaked yet, but I'm sure it's happening. OF course im mad and a little sad.
But I believe the info I got...

HCGM has proven he can beat Big12 teams and Texas has talented kids, but are they coach able; and will HCGM walk away from a legitimate shot for a deep run, if not championship game potential?

I agree! I am a little surprised by this.
I dont think it's a done deal. But from my source "Marshall is going to Texas" they been right on with all previous information in the past.
Hopefully he will have a change of heart and stay with Wichita State

Gregg isn't going anywhere:

1. Because I say so.
2. He is and will continue to be paid well.
3. Because I said so.
4. He has 100% backing of the University and community.
5. Because I said so.
6. Since he has been here, the University has updated everything Shocker basketball.
7. Because I said so.
8. He and or the team flys by charter to games, recruiting, personal, etc...
9. Because I said so.
10. He has the keys to the city.
11. Because I said so.
12. He, his wife and kids loooooooove it here.
13. Dang it, because I said so, which should be emphasized for dramatic purposes IMO.

Maybe you should add one more reason. Ending on 13 may not be the best.

Personally, I'm worried about Coach Marshall leaving. He's paid well here, and happy, but Texas can provide a lot more money and the chance to prove himself in the big leagues, so to speak. He strikes me as the kind of guy who wants to climb to the top.

I'm not worried about Marshall leaving. In fact, if he did leave, he'd be going against everything he believes.

[Dave Stalwart]

Marshall is hustling these fools. He listens to every offer and acts interested so he can pull the rug out from under them. The more you lead them on, the more attention your program and players get. He's pulling the strings like a master. He's got the whole NCAA watching and he's gonna stay at WSU while they all wring their hands.

I dont think you are qualified or close enough to the situation to make that statement. I sure hope you arent one of those fans that calls him a liar and not loyal...etc if he goes to Texas...

[shox2k2]

Texas is exactly what he said he would go for. They are also interested in Shaka smart. So maybe they take whoever says yes first but I think they need someone who wants to be the champ and I get that feeling from Marshall. Smart could have that too but I don't follow him so I don't know. I think it'd be hard not to go after brad underwood if he left.
