Not sure how this completely applies to us but very interesting to watch Deion and how a programs future can change overnight. Little lengthy but man Colorado has the arrow pointing straight up after years and years of being in the basement.

Quae Drake entered the portal today.

Another meeting with the expectations of what the new AD should be - as well rounded as possible, but gets where they are and what they have to work with - budget wise. ULM is tapped out in the amount that it can send to athletics, so any increase has to come from sponsorships, ticket sales, and winning (tournament appearance, bowl games, regionals, etc.).
- Nothing new in this, things we've all known for a while.

There was a mention of possible community input with a forum of interviews publicly when the field is narrowed down to finalists; but nothing set or official on that.

If you have a question for consideration to be asked of the upcoming Zoom interviews, please post them here, or DM them to be for consideration.

Would be a great fit in Monroe. Mean and Nasty
Listed at 6-feet-3, 350 pounds, Thomas signed with the Tigers in the 2019 class as a four-star prospect out of Southern Lab in Baton Rouge. Scholarship offers rolled in for the high school All-American well before his junior year from the likes of Alabama, Florida, Texas, Texas A&M, Notre Dame, and many others. In the end, he elected to stay home.

Redshirting as a true freshman in 2019, Thomas played in one game during the 2020 campaign that did not count towards a player’s eligibility. He started two of the six contests he played in last season and saw action in three this year, leaving him two years of eligibility at his new home.

The 247Sports Composite ranked Thomas as the No. 4 offensive guard in America, but 247Sports tabbed him several notches lower at No. 22. The Composite ranked him No. 97 overall and No. 4 in the state, while 247Sports had him 14th in the Bayou State.

The first transfer window for players to enter the portal runs from December 5-January 18. Players do not have to choose a destination within that window. They only have to officially enter the portal. The second transfer window runs from May 1-15.

This weekend several already committed prospects are on campus for official visits. The only known non-commitment in attendance is athlete Justin Bostic, currently committed to Florida A&M

Afternoon game @ 2:00:

There are currently 6 teams tied at 4-2 at the top of the SBC Leaderboard. USM and Lafayette currently have the tie breaker but there is a lot of basketball yet to be played for that to really matter. Fact is, none of us saw this kind of start. If you say you did, you are a liar and I'll call you that to your face. LOL. I expect the collapse to start with every game but the guys are playing hard and they aren't backing down from anyone. I truly respect their game right now and I can assure you that's not something I expected to be saying AT ALL.

Can we pick up where we left off from Sutherland?

Any thoughts?

Also, what area of the team is our weakest link?

I see Kyle Segler is now listed as the Special Teams Coordinator:

Is there a way for us to see if there were any surprises that TB hinted toward? If there were, wouldn’t it be safe to announce who is enrolled now?

Another productive meeting on Monday night. Several candidates added and I believe the next A.D. is among the candidates that we have seen so far. There are some big names that bring a lot to the table. I feel the difference maker that ULM has been looking for is among the group.

There’s a lot of vetting going on before the next meeting later this week.

I know it was stated that an AD would be in place by the first of the year and everyone is anxious but the right steps are being made to ensure this is the right hire.
