Marshall...is he gone too?

[jamsession3]

There is a rumor that he is leaving? True?

Gotta clear out the 5 spot for Riek to play 40 minutes.

Not so fast...I was told he's gone. Certainly could change his mind but I'm not holding out much hope.

Could it be that he decided to skip his last year of eligibility to see if he can get in a year in the NBA before he enters the military next year? Or possibly e decided to join the military a year sooner?

Just heard today that he confirmed his staying. TIFWIW - from a source that's usually right on. I guess we rarely know until he makes it official either way.

As of right now, everything I've seen and read seems to point to him coming back. I'm not a reliable source, but I feel confident he returns.

 

[dukiejay]

Sounds like he'll be back.

Whoa, so this was a serious thread question!? Where would he go??

 

[CRAZIE4LIFE]

To the army

Marshall is graduating next month, so there were some talks that he might forego his final year of eligibility and move on to the next chapter in his life. As of now it seems as though that won't be the case and he will return. But I don't think it's a 100% done deal just yet.

Wonder how much the Swanigan decision impacts Marshall's thinking. With Swanigan out, Marshall's clearly going to have every opportunity to win the starting job and, in my view, his growth will be critical to determining whether we have a chance of being a factor on the national stage. I could see the rationale for leaving if we were bringing in a highly-rated 5 who would likely assume the starting role again, but, as everything stands now, he's got a real chance to play an important role. Would think he'd want to stay and enjoy at least one year of significant playing time.

I don't know why he wouldn't come back. He's had so much fun the last 4 years with a heavy class load. Now that the class load is just about non existent just think of the fun he's going to have next year. More time to work on his 3 point shot and more time to be the #1 interviewer for Blue Planet. He'll be back. OFC
