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.

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.

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.

Good morning, everyone!

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!

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

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.
