Yes, Wichita State will likely fade to oblivion without Marshall, but people have been saying that for a few years now, and if there was ever a time he was going to leave, it would have been last season after Van Vleet and Baker graduated. At the current moment, his two leading scorers are both underclassmen, and every player in their rotation sans Frankamp is due back next season for what is already a top ten team on KenPom. Marshall is a terrific coach, one of the very best. He is also paid very well and adored by a passionate fan base. He strikes me as a bit of a different cat, somebody who might be harder to pry from a mid-major than a guy who is, say, more mentally stable. I don't know what the financial ramifications of a move like this are, but from a basketball standpoint, if there was ever a program to take a flier on, this would be it. They're aligned perfectly to infuse some life into this league. [/QUOTE]
