Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 5249198, member: 1969"] So Marquette has beaten Georgia to get to 6-0. After its earlier win this week against Purdue, it is poised to enter the top 10 for the third year in a row. It got me to thinking about Marquette as a comparable. 3 main questions 1) Is it a reasonable comparable 2) Would you be satisfied with their performance from 2017-2025 3) What do we need to get to that level success wise [B]Is it a reasonable comparable?[/B] Like us, Marquette is in a conference well outside of its geographical setting. Marquette has pretty good attendance and local following. Marquette is not a state school. In the NIL world many here say we can't compete with many schools NIL wise. I would assume Marquette doesn't have more (or much more) resources than us for their team (stand to be corrected) [B]Would their performance from 2017 to 2025 be satisfactory to you moving forward?[/B] 10 seed NIT 5 seed 9 seed (2020 per Bracket Matrix) below.500 9 seed 2 seed 2 seed top 4 seed (2025 projected) There will be some good years. More down years than the past. [U][I]But if I said this is our trajectory for the next 9 years would that be acceptable?[/I][/U] [B]What do we have to do to get to their current level (not just the last 3 years), but over the last 9 years?[/B] If you are not only going to be middle of the pick in P5 in terms of NIL spending power, you need a good brand or a good team identity. A team identity that will make players choose you, or that you can find players that are a good fit for value. Unfortunately our brand has taken a hit. We still have brand power, but nowhere near like it was at its peak. What is our idenity to attract players in the portal? I feel when you get Shaka Smart as a coach you are automatically developing some sort of identity for your team. You can find players for value at that identity. [U][I]What is our identity right bow as a program? What do you think we can develop as an identity, that can get "fit" players at good values.[/I][/U] [/QUOTE]
