Curious to hear what everyone thinks can be achieved at ULM with Hartwell in 1 Year / 3 Years / 5 Years? Lets assume he stays that long or successor keeps us on the path.

Announcement should be coming by the end of the week. Unsure about an official presser

A tough test for the Warhawks = Tonight:

ULM...........66
Marshall....66 End of 2nd

in 1991. We started the season with a 3-6 record through December. From January on we went 21-1 through the FAMU play-in game and won 16 straight at the time of the selections. We lost 1 game in 2 months and got a #15 seed where we had to face eventual national champion Duke in the first round. We should have been at least a #13 seed that year.

And if I remember correctly we were without Greyhound until January.

The end of the search for the next AD of ULM could be coming soon. This week at least one candidate is expected to be on campus for an in-person interview. Campus should also be posting something soon about a community discussion this week as well.

While there’s no white smoke, the Warhawk cardinals are gathering firewood

Devone Payne.............54-58
Jack Rowan.................58-64
Dixie White..................64-71
Bill Bealle.....................72-75
John David Crow........75-81
Benny Hollis...............82-94
Richard Giannini........94-99
Warner Alford............99-01
Bruce Hanks...............01-04
Bobby Staub...............04-13
Brian Wickstrom........13-17
Scott McDonald.........17-22

between Benny Hollis and Bruce Hanks from '94 to '01?

A week from today will start the second signing date.

We should sign Donell Harris and Qway McCoy. Maybe Justin Bostick. Has anyone heard/know of any other signees?

Bowden announced the promotion of Davis Lewandowski as tight ends coach and Cody Grice as defensive line coach.

Checking out the Netflix documentary Running with the Devil - the story of John McAfee - no mention of it but he was a doctoral student of math At Northeast Louisiana State College in 1968.

1st round of Zoom interviews happened on Wednesday. 2 of the candidates to me - my opinion - were solid, and the other just didn't WOW.

There was a lot of talk about how the community is in supporting the athletics department. I do feel that the community does an ok job of support the university and the athletics.

An interesting comment made by a candidate - students should be treated as donors, and taken care of......after all their student fees are going to athletics no different than us giving $$ for athletics.

Of concern, the question was asked and rightfully so about the university's commitment to remaining at the D1 level. Some took offense to it, but I took it as a question this person asked to make sure when he up-roots his family for Monroe - is it a D1 job that he's signing up for. Valid question that needed to be asked, but concerning that there's that much of that perception out in the open.

I need some help. My new iPad has my profile and the latest posts on the right side of the screen. The old iPad shows the whole screen, no junk on the right side.
Does any know how to remove the info on the right side? Thanks

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.
