We should definitely pull for Gregg. Can’t pull for other schools (furman) We compete with in state for players.

Are you actually worried about having to compete with Furman for players? If that is the case, maybe we should withdraw from the SEC and apply to get in the SOCON.

If South Carolina was in the SOCON, could probably win at Football, the other two major sports?? HMMMMM, not so sure..

You're right. I mean FFF recruits slow, lead-footed, brick-handed Eastern Bloc white dudes in the SEC. Imagine the downgrade if he were in the SoCon. We'd probably have a roster of one-legged Eskimos with emphysema.

He has 13 NCAA appearances (at powerhouses Winthrop and Wichita St.). We have 9 as a program. Frank Martin has 5 - only 1 here in 7 years.
Marshall has more NCAA wins 11, than we do as a program 8.

Gregg Marshall 486–185 (.724)
Frank Martin 246–159 (.607)

I mean he only has twice as many wins and a much better winning percentage than our current coach.
In conference play where you play schools with similar facilities, money etc.
FM has complied a sterling 44% winning percentage here.
Meanwhile GM only wins 74% at Wichita and 81% at Winthrop.

Also, he is a South Carolina native and grew up a gamecock fan. Thank god we didn't get him!

I like Frank but this cracked me up.
 
The question that needs to be asked when his name comes up is would he be satisfied playing second fiddle to football, as far as the fans, administration, and conference are concerned, after being at schools where basketball was #1.
We passed on him twice. I honestly do not believe it is a possibility anymore. I hate it...but I think the last time really frustrated him.

You realize Wichita State basketball didn't start with Gregg Marshall right? It's a "bball school"
 
Oh I know. Just giving the GM Fan Boys something to think about. I don't see any coach giving up being the #1 thing on campus to be #2 (maybe even #3) somewhere else.
I don't believe that would have bothered him. He was more than willing to leave Wichita State for us the last time.

Well we did lose one to Murray State in Ja Morant, so I'd say anything is possible at this point
 
No he wasn't. He said he was not interested last time.
He wanted USC to match what Wichita State was giving him....we wouldn't. He never said he wasn't interested....he approached us as Fogler was doing our search again and Fogler doesn't like Marshall.

No, he wasn't. He was making more at Wichita State than he would have here. And then Wichita State would have ponied up to more than match our pay. He wasn't coming here.
