This is obviously very off topic, but I recently moved out to the Bay Area and wanted to see if any fellow "owlscoopers" lived out here.

Very proud to call him one of our own!

FWIW:

3* RB Jonathan Forrest from Westchester County, NY is walking on. He had offers from UTEP, Army, Buffalo, Nova, and Monmouth in the class of 2015. He committed to UTEP, but didn't sign. He planned to go to prep school, but I can't see anything about him ending up at one.

The 6-4, 260-pound DL from Roman Catholic, who spent his freshman year at Pitt redshirting, is listed on the OWLSPORTS roster, at the bottom, along with mid-year recruits Taiyir Wilson, Darian Bryant and Shaun Bradley.

Does he have to sit out a year?

MRs decision to return the single digit was most welcomed...., always fun to watch those guys develop, and very interesting this coming year..., who will emerge as single digit players on the DL and at the WR position?

also, watch out for a point explosion on offense if #11 goes single digit

Did he sign? East Coast Prep website says he signed with Temple.

which puts them at 19-11 entering the tournament. Anything short of winning the conference tourney and it looks like NIT bound again. Anyone see it differently?

Not really sure this matters but both had big wins and both might crack the rpi top 100. Should that happen, would Temple be in any better a position? Those are two of our three bad loses, the general yard stick for a bad lose is one to a 100plus team. IDK how much any of it matters though.

These UCF big guys are BIG! Looks like Watson may be creeping out of the doghouse... Or, he's playing out of necessity.

Hasn't been mentioned enough on these posts, but Brown is really playing well at both ends. I realize how important Q is to the offense, but Brown is my MVP.

You have:

No true position?
Bad hands?
Not great shooter?
Bad rebounder?
Low motor?

Check, check, check, check, check...

We'd like you to come to Temple.

The heat was already on him at Memphis and is now even higher with their loss to ECU this weekend. One of the local papers has outlined Pastern's contract noting the number of years, money owed, buyouts, etc.

Your best shooter needs to shoot more and that isn't going to happen in Dunphys guard oriented half court offense

This is a team that needs to increase its shooting percentage and he has the wrong people shooting many times during the game but let's get specific about Obi

The offense is all about guards handling and pounding the ball . I would guess that 95 percent of time that a guard or wing is your best shooter . It isn't often that a 6 ft 9 inch player playing outbid position is the best .

Dunphy has not installed set plays for his half court offense to get this kid open to shoot the ball . Down screens and double screens probably need to be set to get this kid shots . Right now he is totally dependent on the guards dribbling , see a double and maybe giving this kid a chance to do what he does best ..... Shoot the ball.

Dunphy needs to adjust . The kid is a superb shooter from distance . Run your offense to get this kid 15 shots a game

based on a conversation with Andy Katz and Craig Robinson, which would you say is the greatest determinant of a conference's quality?

Louisville just announced a self-imposed postseason ban for 2016. Wow. I feel bad for Damion Lee graduate transfer who had to endure years at Drexel with no postseason.

Just watched highlights of the win over Penn State, and it brought tears to my eyes. AGAIN!

What a great day that was for this lifelong Temple football fan.

After quickly looking at philly.com and reading the Tulsa Temple Preview, I wasn't aware the Owls are 0-4 against the GH. Since I had/have no expectations for an NCAA Tourney bide his season, I'm left with "Temple as spoiler" games of which this is one. Hopefully they can pull it out. They owe Tulsa.

TU.

Does anyone have any information on this recruit who seems to have gotten in under the wire


Doc

Good story by Rich Flanagan on the Don Bosco OL.

Rich answered the question I've been asking myself? Who is going to replace Kyle Friend at C. Obviously junior Brendan McGowan will get first crack, but I wondered about the future after he uses up his eligibility. According to the article, Hennessy, who I guess played OT in high school, will be a center in college.

I figured Benson Israel (6-1, 316) would be in the mix, or maybe Aaron Ruff (6-3, 308), or walk-on Gordon Thomas (6-0, 306), or DL-turned-OL Kiser Terry (6-3, 275), who I believe RS last year and would still have two years of eligibility left.

Obviously Coach Wiesehan will put the five best guys together.

Our Non-Conference SOS according to ESPN.com is 204. We are Temple, former kings of OOC scheduling.
If we get close and miss the Tournament, a certain senior citizen and career Ivy Leaguer will be responsible. I hope he enjoyed padding his career win total with the HOME games with the Delaware teams and FDU.

Vender says he faxed in his LOI to Temple and will have two years to play. Will he make it in for the Fall?

It was a surreal scene at the recruiting event last night. As Matt was on stage, dozens of people were watching Kyle's Periscope feed. When he picked the Temple hat, you could hear a bunch of celebratory cheers spread throughout the room.

The best was watching Matt check his phone every time they cut to another recruit's highlight video to see if he received any contact from Karamo. By far the coolest thing was when Karamo called Matt to tell him, Matt held the phone up and everyone in attendance roared for Karamo to hear. One of the truly cool, unique, and hopefully defining moments I've experienced as a fan of Temple. Thanks Kyle for going above and beyond last night to make it all happen.
