UNT is still searching for an assistant coach to replace Bart Lundy, who left to become the head coach at Queens.

We have mentioned the possibility that Tony Benford could promote Jeff Luster, his director of operations who was previously an assistant coach at TCU and Air Force. Weve also mentioned that former Texas Tech assistant coach Bubba Jennings could be a possibility.

Another name to keep in mind is former Marquette assistant Scott Monarch, who would make a lot of sense from several perspectives.

That would be awesome. Another Buzz guy. One who was so shady even THEY had to fire him.

Maybe if the D-line doesn't improve under Nelson and Mac, we could get Jerry Sandusky on a work furlough, too.

EDIT: Holy crap, the guy even looks like Buzz Williams. Ugh. MAN, I hope this turns out to be unfounded speculation.

Does ULM still have that convicted felon who forged grades? Couldn't we afford to hire him away to coach on our staff instead?

That would be a mighty hire. I don't know if coach Forrest would be up for that though?

So the aforementioned coach from marquette gets berated by a few for an NCAA violation but then everyone would be onboard for Forrest coming back. Someone who lied on his resume? So instead of wanting someone who cheated to make the team better we want someone who cheated and lied to make himself better... really hard to to some people seriously when they hold ridiculous double standards. Let's just agree to go with neither and hope we land a solid assistant coach who can recruit and keep this ball rolling.

So...anyone? Gravity is doing most of the work.

I never said anything about the dude from Marquette.

All I know is coach Forrest has incredible recruiting pull in the DFW area and is probably the major reason we had the "big 3" at UNT.

I can't see a lot of DI assistants leaving their current post for this opening.

Probably Going to have to hire someone currently out of work , AAU , JUCO or HS coach

He's probably getting paid a lot more at WKU than what we could offer

Are you sure about that? I know JJ was getting paid more than what Ray Harper makes, and Benford is at least in the same class with him.

That said, there is probably more job stability and a more pleasant coaching situation at Western Kentucky.

I saw coach Forrest both times we played ULL last season. I didn't like any of his suits.

      Finishing Out the '25 Class

      Please keep in mind that it looks like shortly they will be changing the roster limits and the amount of players eligible to be put on scholarships. I believe then you will have to keep the minimum of 85 but you will be able to go higher if you choose but with a lower total number of players that can be in the program.

      Thank you for this insightful recap Billy.

      Finishing Out the '25 Class

      1. I have us at about 80 scholarship players. This count does not include Makenzie McGill who we almost assuredly need to put on scholarship to keep, and Evan Jackson who deleted his transfer portal post and hasn’t posted anything since. Also does not include high school commit Terrence Lewis who still seems in line to sign in February. That being said, we probably could sign a few more HS guys this February. We have space and likely will have more space after spring to bring in more portal guys this summer if needed. 2. Probably will have a better idea on this after spring when we have a better idea of where we still are weaker than we want to be. We have pretty good numbers at each position. 3. There definitely will be more transfers after spring but pure speculation on who. Larry Moore appears to be passed over at tackle, and I doubt he wants to spend his last season of eligibility on the bench. Same for VJ Bronson at DT. At safety I don’t expect Isheem Young to come back but I could be wrong. He came here because of Caponi and we seem to have been recruiting that position as if he isn’t coming back. BJ Allen at safety looks like he is in danger of getting passed up by multiple guys so he could be better off looking elsewhere for more playing time. I think Zach Evans is similarly buried on the depth chart. I‘d be surprised if any of those 5 guys were still here after spring. Those are 5 spots I pretty much expect to open up just based on guys who are sort of the odd men out at their spots, but looks like they’ll be here through spring to have a chance to carve out bigger roles.

      SMU 's New Facility

      Many people on this board, constantly talk about competing with SMU. We should also pay attention to what TCU and other programs are doing, so we have a bar to set for ourselves. Ignoring the competition, gets us where we are now.
