Yep! You are correct. DePaul and Marquette ( remember Mr. Dwayne Wade played in Conference USA).

I have and I tend to agree with your thought.

I remember this guy, from the old swc days. He had sic shooting range. Bio looks pretty good!

Again! thanks for the heads up, brewcity, never hurts to talk college b-ball. Looking forward to Conference USA.

Thanks! for the update on Jones. Always looking ahead.

This would be a game changer for UNT basketball!

Thanks! for the information, from what I haved learned, over the last 2 days, Benford, has more ties to TX, then I realized. It's obvious he was well thought of in Milwaukee, for you to have posted this message. Wishing, Marquette continued success!

Hey guys' it's a tough business. Anyway this quote was in the newspaper yesterday. Sounds like George has high respect for Coach Benford. Benford recruited George Odufuwa and Keith Wooden while he was at Arizona State. Both later transferred to UNT and helped lead the Mean Green to the NCAA tournament — Wooden in 2007 and Odufuwa in 2010. “Coach Benford has a good personality and he can recruit,” Odufuwa said. “That translates anywhere you go. He will be a good fit at North Texas.”

Not sure what happened at ASU, but sometimes you just have to move on. Anyway, this is what George Odufuwa said. Sounds like he has high respect for Coach Benford.

Looking @ his coaching profile. He definitely has Texas ties. Welcome to meangreen nation, Coach Benford. First order business, Tony Mitchell. Lets go!

I think there are pros and cons to hire 3 candidates. Fran (head coach exp) yes, but his last stop at New Mexico was not that impressive. Benford (no head coach exp), but high upside. Forrest (no head coach exp), but knows the players, very well. I think RV will make the best choice. Interesting hire!
