I think you pretty much answered your own question when you said you know how college basketball works.
That said, it is difficult to say whether or not Marshall still has interest in the S. Carolina job, should it come open. He grew up a fan and I think even had football season tickets. There are a lot of reasons why WSU is a better job, but if he still dreams of coaching the Gamecocks I'm sure he would go there with the right offer. Other than that job, I'm not seeing any other potential opening that would be a great draw. I could see Illinois going after him, particularly with Dana Ford in tow. But does he really want to try and get into the mess that is Chicago recruiting?
I could be wrong, but he has gushed so much about this recruiting class that I think he's excited to see what he and the staff can do with them. Combine that with how selective he's been in the past and I put his chances of leaving at about 30%.
