My full 1-on-1 interview with Penn State transfer Jameel Brown is our next installment of our Getting to Know the Owls series.

Pitt has “Sweet Caroline”. WVU has “Country Roads” VT has “Enter Sandman”, Wisconsin has “Jump Around”. What are suggestions (serious suggestions, not trying to ridicule the university or any teams)? I feel Temple TUFF needs something like this.

My full interview with Lynn Greer III is the next installment in our Getting to Know the Owls series.

And don't forget you'll be able to hear my exclusive interviews with both Lynn Greer III and Jameel Brown in the coming days.

Replacing the Draught Horse, finally planned to be open for the fall semester.

Good afternoon, everyone!

We’re taking mailbag questions for this week’s episode of The Scoop until Wednesday at 11 a.m.

We’ll obviously have a lot to talk about with the additions of Jamal Mashburn Jr., Lynn Greer III and Jameel Brown with more to come, so feel free to drop in your questions here, along with anything else you’d like to put on the agenda.

Thanks as always for listening!

We’re taking mailbag questions until noon tomorrow for this week’s episode of The Scoop. If you have something you’d like to put on the agenda, you can drop it in here.

Thanks as always for listening!

Wow, John! Just listened to your full length interview with Jamal Mashburn Jr.. There was a level of maturity and focus in that young man that I have not heard from a Temple player in a very long time and that bodes well for this team and the coaching staff. It's a lot more than 'he got game'! His overall outlook on balancing basketball and life especially how you and he talked about his Dad in the conversation- the man, the Dad, the leader- and his faith speaks volumes way beyond basketball. And your questions were so on point that there was a mutual dialog and such great comfort and respect, it was a joy to listen to as the comments that flowed with such natural ease. John, this interview was most certainly one of my top 10 Owlscoop interviews you've done since I've been on this board. Thank you and GO OWLS MAN!

Kamara and Temple are parting ways after he signed in December....

Taken by the Commies in 5th round

His long strange trip has taken him to Kentucky, where he's lighting it up today. Of course, he too would only be able to average two yards a carry behind our "offensive" line.

Talked to him about 20 minutes ago. Here's the first part of our interview.

In the portal per JDC. Frustrating.

You can listen to the first part of our interview here. OwlScoop subscribers will have access to the full conversation later this week.

Lynn,

Thank you for your efforts as a Hawk. Your dad gave me nightmares in classic Big 5 and conference battles.

We may face you in the revamped Big 5 Classic or other in season or post season matchup.

Other than those games good luck in the rest of your collegiate career and beyond.

Has committed to Temple per his IG.

LFG.

We told you all previously that with their two remaining scholarships, Adam Fisher and his staff would likely pursue a big and a point guard with one year of eligibility remaining.

Today, Temple is hosting former Syracuse and Rhode Island point guard Jalen Carey on an official visit. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound Harlem native was a 4-star recruit and the No. 53 player in the 2018 class before signing with Syracuse. He averaged a career-best 9.9 points and 4.9 rebounds this past season at Rhode Island. He scored in double figures 11 times, including a season-high 21 against George Mason.

A source familiar with his recruitment told us there could be some hoops to jump through in getting Carey a waiver to play this season.

Carey averaged 3.5 points as a true freshman at Syracuse during the 2018-19 season and scored 26 points against UConn in just his third college game. A thumb injury limited him to just two games the following season as a sophomore.

Event is on Saturday June 8th. AD Johnson will attend along with Rob Silk. Waiting on Coach Fisher to hopefully finalize. Los Angeles area alums and friends…let’s show how much we care and support our university.

I talked to Mashburn earlier today. You'll hear about 7 minutes of our conversation in the podcast tomorrow morning, and all of you as subscribers will get the full interview on the site. We talked for about 30 minutes.

Some notable things to pass along:

He called picking Temple a "no-brainer." "Temple was right on the money from day one," he said.

Arkansas and Kentucky both reached out.

Michael Huger, who played in New York City with Mashburn's father, also helped in the recruitment process here.

We'll have more soon.

The Temple Owl Club is holding its annual Golf Outing on Monday, May 6th at the 1912 Club in Plymouth Mtg. Foursomes and sponsorships are still available.
If you are not a golfer, there is an option to just attend the cocktail and dinner reception after, where you will have the opportunity to hear from Adam Fisher, our Men’s Basketball HC, Diane Richardson, our Women’s Basketball HC, and Stan Drayton, Head Football Coach. If you are interested contact the Owl Club at (215) 204-2582.

Good evening, everyone!

We're taking mailbag questions for this week's episode of The Scoop. If everything lines up, we'll have some of my interview with Jamal Mashburn in this week's episode, and we'll certainly be talking more about his verbal commitment and others that could be on the way.

If you have questions for us, please drop them in here by 1 p.m. tomorrow and we'll talk about it on the podcast, along with anything else you'd like to put on the agenda.
