[Garbanjo]

Duvall didn't commit on his visit correct?

[Haveyouherd222]

No matter what, with the landscape is where it is, if anyone has a solid year at a mid-major like Marshall....the big boys with the $$$$ are coming.    Nothing we can do but hope we can sweeten the pot enough to persuade a kid to stay another year.   The idea of getting a really good kid to stay 4 years, well that's going to be really tough.

That mindset of having players here for 4 years should have left when Dan was canned.
Until things change, just have to build for the upcoming year and upcoming year only.
Have to be prepared if someone has a good year a P4 is calling. Can't mope around anymore blaming failures that so and so isn't here (like we heard all last season).

If we can get this kid for one year I'll take it. Dan would have never even tried to get him. At least Corny is working his tail off and beating the bushes. That is all you can ask.

100%

Have to recruit all over again each season

Go Herd!

Exactly, just need to get better each and every season in any way that we can. I think Jackson is going to be a good HC, Herd National just needs to give the dude time.

[Hazer74]

I have had season tickets for decades until last year when I dropped them. You could see that train wreck coming a mile away. I'll be back if CJ gives me reason to come back. It's simple as that.

I myself would love to see you at a game mr porter

Don't even know what that means.

Unfortunately, could be wrong but i think the longer it goes without him signing. The tougher it will be for us to land this guy. I hope i?m wrong.

If Duval didn't commit on his visit we're probably not gonna land him

C'est la vie

[MUfan08]

What we already knew, but at least it is out there he was on an official visit

So is Duval a class 2024 recruit or in class 2025?

[Haveyouherd222]

He's a 2024 kid.

[MUfan08]

So is Duval a class 2024 recruit or in class 2025?

Believe it was said earlier, he is possibly looking at going to a prep school and if that is the case, he would be re-classified as a 2025 recruit.

Losing kids to Western Carolina????? Wow.

I think a poster said the Herd took Jalen Speer instead of the WCU commit.

Is the rumor about a silent commit for bball correct? Heard the recruit wanted to wait  to announce it or something along that line. Only thing is the rumor didn't mention name, position or what level of play(high school, juco or transfer). Or it could be said rumor recruit might be waiting for a better offer and is hedging the offer.

Would have to be Duval if rumor is correct

Fingers crossed

Maybe but the silent commits in fball were not always the ones most posters thought it would be. I think H22 posted that CJ had 4 or 5 they were after real hard and it might be first one to commit gets it.

Funny, now a major aspect of being a HC at a school like Marshall is the ability to keep a student-athlete at that school for 4, or perhaps 5, years!!  Yet for years MU fans, on sites like this and elsewhere, have wondered, often out loud, why is this student-athlete here in the first place, and, especially in men's basketball under D'Antoni, have vociferously asked, why is this so-and-so player STILL here in the MU program after 3 or even 4 years, when he has contributed very little, or absolutely NOTHING, in terms of actual GAME Production in those 3 years or more!!!  STRANGE, . . . VERY STRANGE!!

It's simple. You want to keep your good players for 4 years and the misses you want to move out after 1-2 years.

Free up 2 more scholarships and bring in NQs

Free up 2 more scholarships and bring in NQs

Why in the world would you bring in non qualifiers in this open transfer and nil world?

So a person gets eligible here and then hits the portal...no thanks and the reason we don't go after them in either sports anymore.
