Alabama athletic director Bill Battle will meet with Wichita State coach Gregg Marshall on Monday to discuss the Crimson Tide's opening, a source told CBSSports.com.
The meeting will take place in Wichita, the source said. CBSSports.com reported last week that Alabama's administration is determined, one way or another, to make a big hire to replace Anthony Grant in response to Auburn employing Bruce Pearl last March, and Marshall is essentially alone atop the wish-list.
Alabama cannot offer Marshall great basketball tradition, school officials understand. But one source said they plan to pitch "piles of money, an athletic department with a culture of winning and every resource he needs to compete with anybody on a national level."
It's possible football coach Nick Saban could eventually be involved in what will be high-profile recruitment. "Alabama is gonna go big," one source said.
The Tuscaloosa News is also reporting the meeting between Battle and Marshall. Sources have told CBSSports.com Alabama's offer will be in excess of $3 million per year and that the school could present a package approaching six years and $20-plus million.
