http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/basketball/bulls/ct-rick-brunson-spt-0726-20150725-story.html This is an interesting article that I came across.

i saw his tweet mentioning he will be talking to UAB, is he on his way out? Any info on his status with temple?

Good story about the Upper Merion High School safety.

I covered Brad Scioli at U.M. before he went to Penn State. Maybe we'll get lucky with another Vikings standout.

... Larry Brown is in trouble with the NCAA again.

Rothstein has several tweets on the AAC and also wrote the article I have linked below. It looks like he has Temple 7th in his pre-season power rankings (from this twitter feed).

Link. Decent read.

Reading Drew Parent's article in which Avery Williams, Jacob Martin and Michael Dogbe talk about how they can't wait for the season to begin has me really pumped up.

forget about Ric Brunson for a minute. I keep hearing "im glad we got Mckie instead." "Mckie was the better hire anyway." long term Mckie is better, etc..

Aaron has been on the job for over a year now. the biggest area the coaching staff needed help was with recruiting. Has Aaron made an impact there?? Im sure working under Dunphy has to make the job difficult but I'm just wondering how others feel.
When AAron was first mentioned as a plan B to Brunson I wasnt as excited but i did get caught up in the hype. I do think if anything its great to see a hall fame player on the bench and a former Chaney player as well but after that whats left?

This should be almost a given , how can we try to make this happen !

As expected, Parkland HS' Kenny Yeboah committed to Temple this afternoon. Yeboah caught 43 passes for 716 yards for Parkland last year and chose Temple over seven other offers. His final three was Temple, Old Dominion and Towson.

Yeboah will likely fill a sort of h-back role for Temple at the next level.

I'm not trying to start a debate over the value of how many stars a commit has, but does anyone know how often a 2* rising senior picks up a third star his senior season? and if any of the 2* commits we have should expect a third star?

Alani Moore from Montrose Christian (Mark Williams). Moore is undersized, but plays for a top notch HS program. Offers from PSU, UCF, UMass, URI. He had 20 and 5 rebounds against NJ Playaz (Myles Powell, Jagan Mosely, Taurean Thompson, Temple Gibbs). He's a much better rebounder than you would think for his size.

Guess Owls will not be terrorized by him anymore unless teams meet up in post season tourney.

See Kyle's thread.

Thanks so much for the quick turnaround recapping today's camp. I know you and JDC will be back when there's more to report.

Great job!

Temple offered MA PF Chris Baldwin, who plays at Notre Dame Prep. Baldwin is 6'8 230. He has offers from TU, WVU, UMass, LaSalle, and URI. Pitt, DePaul, Oklahoma State with interest. Reportedly, he is killing it at the Hoop Group Elite Camp in Reading. Alums of his AAU team include Noah Vonleh, Evan Smotrycz, Zach Auguste.

I read the first Vegas odds for the Sept3-6 games. We are 7pt underdogs to PSU. Of the 39 games our O/U of 38.5 is the lowest!

Yesterday you tweeted that a RB from Ohio was making some noise at the last MR camp yesterday! Any further info on the young man and was an offer tendered? Thanks! Great followup article but I did not see him mentioned!

Looks like Charlotte was left off by accident. Just an FYI for JDC or one of the other guys.
