@Andrew_Parent23: Athletic Director Kevin Clark said the school's apparel contract with UnderArmour is up, and that he is searching for other vendors.

@Andrew_Parent23: He pointed to Nike and Adidas as possibilities, cited football and men's basketball's increased national TV coverage as an "opportunity."

I am a season ticket holder for many years and an "OWL" fan since the mid 70's..I do not post much but enjoy reading the message boards, just a question, any good reason why not to offer this point guard from MLK? I have seen him play a few times. He has many ups with a few downs but a proven winner..and tough as nails! Seems to me to fit that "old school" Temple guard...just a thought..

PHIL STEELE has it broken down by school

NCAA RPI

Temple (13-7) is No. 56.

The signature win, of course, is the Kansas victory.The Jayhawks (16-3) are No. 1.

In
their rankings, 5 of Temple's 7 losses have come to top-50 RPI
programs - No. 6 Villanova (18-2), No. 7 Duke (17-2), No. 18 SMU (15-4),
No. 27 Cincinnati (14-5) and No. 47 Tulsa (14-4). The loss to No. 108
UNLV (10-9) isn't so good, and the St. Joseph's loss (No. 181, 8-10) is
obviously a bad loss.

Temple (13-7) is No. 54 with a strength of schedule of 39.

John every other time I go on line i get are request to join and then have to click on I am a member,why the change?

Looks like a major winter storm is bearing down on the region. Undoubtedly this will wreak havoc on air travel.

Does anyone know when the team is planning to head to Orlando? If they don't make it out tomorrow, they might have to take a same-day flight on Weds.

T.J. Simmons, a four-star running back from Florida, decommitted from UCLA today. At the same time, Simmons tweeted that he's considering Marshall, Temple and West Virginia.

Simmons would be a big, big get for Temple, obviously. A source we spoke to said that the issues that prevented Simmons from enrolling at UCLA would not prevent him from coming to Temple.

T.J. Simmons

Class of 2016 point guard Anthony Cowan committed to Maryland today, and that's a good thing because the Terps had been recruiting Roman Catholic point guard Tone Carr, Temple's top junior point guard target.

With Cowan going there, it's likely one less program Temple has to worry about with Carr's recruitment.

For those who like to cite the star system when talking about recruits:
Average # stars for Seattle Seahawks roster 2.4
New England Patriots 2.3
# 5 stars on either team 0
Average # of stars for Temple players in the NFL Below 2.
For what it is worth, not much-just like the star rankings.
Coaches know who can play in their system, players know who can play.

Per Adam Caplan on twitter.

Temple is getting visits this weekend from a pair of 2015 recruits in Jager Gardner, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound running back and strong safety from Owen High School in Black Mountain, NC, and Darius Williams, a 6-2, 170-pound wide receiver from New Orleans' McDonough 35 High School.

Committed to PSU today. If I were a betting man id say he's not gonna spend all 4 years there

56-52 at sold out Palestra. Big 5 at the Palestra is still the best. So glad Explorers played Owls there this year. Hope we keep doing it.

Way to go Quakers and Coach Allen. First Big 5 win for Penn in what seems like eons.

And more beef is always good. Pretty cool to see the reach we have now between CO, WA, LA, MS, NC, etc.

Kind of a cool thing happened today when Camden hosted St. Anthony. I put this out on Twitter earlier.

A total of seven Temple coaches were at the game. Matt Rhule, Fran Brown, Ed Foley, Marcus Satterfield and Elijah Robinson were there to watch Brad Hawkins and Jamal Holloway (better football players who are staying in shape with basketball - a la Brandon McManus, Chris Coyer, etc.), and Fran Dunphy and Dwayne Killings were there to see St. Anthony juniors Taurean Thompson (6-8 F) and Jagan Mosley (6-3 G).

Temple's more interested in Thompson, who has a chance to be very good. Mosley is getting a lot of Ivy interest and is getting better.

I just noticed that PSU is 0 - 6 in conference play. They had gone 12-1 in OOC against mostly less than challenging opponents. Apparently, Chambers is having the same level of success in Central PA as Parkhill, Dunn and Dechelis before him despite some recruiting success (e.g., Shep Garner). Perhaps Tone Clark is noticing, too.

USF game is just over 12 hours, and crickets on this board about the game. Any word on Cummings' status? Considering the top 5 teams in the AAC get a first round bye in the AAC tournament, and that we currently are in 6th place, this is an important game.

This would be a game changer!!!!

Even though quarterback Braxton Miller is enrolled for spring semester at Ohio State, that merely reflects the present and is not necessarily a prediction about the future. Miller, the Buckeyes' starter for three seasons before he sat out the national championship run in 2014 because of a shoulder injury, still could wind up playing elsewhere this fall.

With his degree in hand, Miller can transfer and play immediately, and his current enrollment at Ohio State has nothing to do with that.

No disrespect to PJ but Well, we can dream.

Temple Basketball should be ranked in the top 25! I mean we beat Kansas by 25 points!!! Doesn't that count for anything??? Villanova and Duke are ranked 4th and 5th and we only lost to them by 23 an 20.

I think there is a conspiracy against Temple. Someone should look into this......

Timber Creek '18 QB Devin Leary was offered by Temple.

Observations:
We're building quite the pipeline with Timber Creek.Leary was likely born in the 2000's

Devin Leary

Holy Moly. This guy succinctly puts my collective thoughts of the past 3 years into words, and gives the Kool Aid drinking PSU Crew a smack down. Go Keith, go!

John Linehan, the NCAA's all-time leader in steals, is a graduate assistant on TUMBB's staff this year. I'm sure he can't hurt on the defensive side of the ball.

Do you know how involved we are with either.

Not trying to start anything, but I saw this and just thought I'd share it with board.
