Guys, basketball recruiting is literally ALL ABOUT NIL!  Style doesn't matter.   Relationships don't matter.   Winning doesn't matter.  It's what can you pay me?   A kid may like MU, but he isn't going to sign right away because he's going to wait to see if he gets better monetary offers.   Now you can choose to think that's not the case, but it's absolutely reality.    All this Corny can't recruit BS.....throw it away.   JMU has a MUCH LARGER collective and NIL than we do.   Step up, donate to NIL.   That's the only way our recruiting in basketball is going to change.

To a point yes. But that is why you have to look under every rock. There are very good players in D2 and Juco that aren't going to get much money and are overlooked. How are we keeping Martin and Obinna with your theory? I'll guarantee we aren't giving them much and they could get more money elsewhere. Yes it takes money but that isn't all of it. Do you think FAU was giving more money than teams like Kentucky, UCONN, Duke, NC etc? Personally I think football is screwed but basketball just needs a handful of players.

As fans, we are tired of excuses.  Corny accepted and wanted the job and knew our NIL situation.  He is charged with winning games and he is going to be held to that.  We can work to raise funds but that will come with winning.  A new coach that was not associated with the program would have had more credibility in asking for NIL.

Many people are not going to throw money at basketball until we see competent leadership.

What do you care about?  You ask people to boycott.  You ask them not to give money.  So what do you care about?  Only to prove your right.

I care about winning and an administration that shows they expect it also. But some of you enjoy just grabbing the popcorn and showing up because it's Marshall. Just be glad we have a team and keep our head in the sand.

Crazy to think that the majority of this board expects better!  Your just happy that we have uniforms that doesn?t even rep our school colors.


   There is a HUGE difference between expecting better and being downright negative regardless.  Our fan base can be absurd and ?get off our lawn? in almost any circumstance it seems.   You?re really going to try and argue about my opinion on our uniform selection!! Way to prove my point.  Who cares what alternate uni scheme we use?..everyone who bleeds Marshall knows what our colors are so the use of an alternate color scheme and using it to accent the end zones and the new court at the Henderson center is fine by me.  I love watching any Marshall team decked out in Kelly green and white, but it?s also a fresh look to have multiple combos to change it up sometimes.   The players love the black jerseys, helmet, etc so who am I to say otherwise.  Look at Oregon and what they have done with t their broad range of choices?..do you think their fan base flips out and tries to cause division amongst their fans if they tend to favor one that is not their primary colors?????   Not in the least do they care

This board for the most part is so negative.   Nothing is ever good enough for the majority of posters??.

Maybe, 1216, the board is the WAY IT IS is that enough HERD FANS have HAD ENOUGH after a DECADE of marginally over .500 basketball under Mr. Yuk Yuk, let's have "FUN", Danny Boy!!!  Just maybe enough fans have had their fill of "FUN" and want a consistent, year after year WINNER, and a team that CONSISTENTLY plays for "CHAMPIONSHIPS" and is a consistent participant in SIGNIFICANT post season play.  IMO, given MU's still consistently strong fan base and support and the fact that we have, as many readily admit, stepped "down" when it comes to the caliber of basketball competition with our new membership in the SBC, that's not too much for the FANS to ask for!!!


I get it bc i grew up to championships and when winning was expected.  I think changes are on the horizon for our two major sports
