More good stuff here, including how Fisher plans to approach recruiting the 2024 and '25 classes, why he feels Temple is behind in NIL and where he thinks they can be, and how he hosted 33 former Owls on a recent Zoom call and his plans for building alumni engagement.

What does this mean for TU? Will the ACC scramble and replace with 7-10 new members? Would we go?

Things are starting to heat up with recruiting, and preseason camp is less than two months away. Let us know what's on your mind and drop in a mailbag question here by noon tomorrow for this week's podcast.

Although this episode will include a portion of our interview with Adam Fisher, we'll still talk plenty of football as well.

Thank you all so much for listening. We greatly appreciate it!

Jesuit (FL) wideout Bryson Goodwin is the second commit of Temple's Class of 2024.

Goodwin was Temple running back Joquez Smith's teammate last year and caught 27 balls for 513 yards and five touchdowns. He chose Temple over offers from Toledo, Bowling Green and Middle Tennessee State.

And yes, just to be clear, he has yet to be ranked by Rivals.

Good morning, everyone.

This week's podcast includes the first part of my conversation with Adam Fisher, and you can listen to it here.


Parts II and III will only be available to you all as subscribers, so there's a lot more good stuff to come, including insight into the current roster and how Fisher plans to fill out the rest of his staff.

Georgia wideout Tyler Stewart chose Temple over offers from West Virginia, Western Kentucky, Navy and Middle Tennessee State tonight. He spoke to me about his commitment.

...according to BetOnline.ag is 5

I had the chance to speak with Denzel Chavis last night to recap his official visit. Chavis, who has only taken an official visit to Temple, announced a commitment date of June 17 after returning from his visit. I think it's fair to say that Temple is the favorite to receive his commitment.

Would think he would be an ideal candidate to be our "big NIL champion". Obviously is interested in sports..

Dug into this a little bit and it appears that former Penn State/Drexel guard Cam Wynter will be following Adam Fisher from Penn State to Temple... as a staff member. Wynter is set to join the Owls in an off-the-bench role, possibly in the role that Mark Macon filled last year. Wynter played four years at Drexel, where he scored nearly 1,700 points, before transferring to Penn State last year as a grad transfer. in Wynter's last collegiate appearance, he dropped 16 points against Texas in the NCAA Tournament.

Also, as has been rumored on this site for quite some time, Kentucky assistant video coordinator Andrew Ortelli officially joined Fisher's staff as Video Coordinator today.

Good afternoon, everyone.

This week's podcast will include our 1-on-1 interview with Adam Fisher. If you have a mailbag question for Adam, please drop it in here by 8 p.m., and we'll try to get to a few if we have time.

Thanks as always for listening, and you can subscribe and drop us a rating and review here on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts!

In case you missed it, Temple added two commits to its 2023 class last night when Ihsim Smith-Marsette and Kian Johnson committed to the Owls

Smith-Marsette is the younger brother of Kansas City Chief Ihmir Smith-Marsette. He figures to be a safety at Temple but did a bit of everything for Weequahic last year. The 5-foot-10 Smith-Marsette finished the season with three picks, six receiving touchdowns and a punt return TD en route to an All-Group selection.

Johnson, meanwhile, is a speedster from Florida that averaged 22.5 yards per catch last season and recently finished 7th in the 400 meters at the FHSAA 2A state championships. Johnson spoke with John after his official visit last month, which you can read about here.

Sims had 29 catches for 319 yards and five touchdowns last season and also returned 12 kickoffs for 285 yards.

Despite having graduated high school in 2019, Sims, who chose Temple over Tennessee Tech, could have as many as three years of eligibility left due to redshirting, the COVID year and missing a season.

Just confirmed with Largo (FL) athlete Chase Green that he'll be on campus this weekend for an official visit.

Last season, Green played both ways for Largo and finished with 68 tackles, four interceptions and a sack on defense while also racking up 333 rushing yards, 302 receiving yards and three touchdowns on offense. Temple likes Green as a defensive back and he's also garnered offers from schools like Illinois, Tulane, South Florida and Liberty. He's also scheduled to visit Illinois later this month.

Have to make a change to my basketball tickets and couldn’t get a hold of anyone at the ticket office before 4pm on a Wednesday. Is there a specific person anyone has the name of that I can contact who will actually pick up?

Really quiet on here! Anything happening roster wise or potential new additions from the portal?

Opens Dec5-Jan 18 and then again the first two weeks of May. How active will the Owls look to be this year? We have needs, but looking at the roster, we have a lot of freshman and sophomores who contributed on both sides of the ball.

In a part of the interview we excluded from The Scoop and saved for subscribers, Hysier Miller talked to me about Temple's four incoming transfers: Steve Settle, Jordan Riley, Matteo Picarellli and Quante Berry.

You can listen to it here in case you missed it out on the front page.

Temple is #16 in APR for all FBS teams.
