Temple defensive line coach Antoine Smith had a lot to say this morning.

We had a chance to speak with Temple's offensive line coach Chris Wiesehan this morning about his group and his return to Temple.

While on the phone with Jadan last week, James Blue, his father, was senselessly gunned down in what seemed to be a random act of violence by a high school student who has since been arrested. There is a GoFundMe set up to support him and his family. You can read a heartbreaking note from Jadan on the page.

Jadan put in his time, representing our alma mater extremely well and under some tenuous times in our program. If you have the ability, please consider donating to the Blue family., maybe with a note of encouragement that reads #GoOwls.

Todd Bowles is taking the reins from Bruce Arians as head coach. Arians moving up to front office.

That is all!

"I'm very familiar with what Temple football has been and what Temple TUFF means," Scheier said today. "And the history of special teams here, Coach [Ed] Foley did a phenomenal job.

"It's not our job or charge to change the culture. It's our job to just bring the culture back.”

Hello, everyone!

We're recording this week's episode of The Scoop and taking mailbag questions until 4 p.m. today. In addition to spring football, we'll have plenty to discuss with basketball as well with the departure of Jeremiah Williams and a look ahead for the program. You all can help set the agenda with your mailbag questions by dropping them in here. And if you have off-topic stuff, we'll take those as well.

And if you haven't done so already, you can subscribe to The Scoop on Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, Spotify or wherever you access your podcasts.

Thanks so much for listening and we look forward to hearing from you!

6-10 from Harcum JC. Just visited WVU. Plans to visit BYU and Charlotte. I know Fenerty has been to see him play. Coach at Harcum wanted Temple to offer. Have we offered. Anyone know why not?

In case you missed it out on the front page yesterday, here's @Dante Collinelli's story from yesterday's spring practice media availability with Temple's new defensive coordinator, D.J. Eliot.

If you are a lover of basketball played the right way, then you love Villanova basketball. What will make me really happy is to see Houston play Villanova Because right now they are the two teams that play the game “ the right way “. I am predicting Houston will beat Arizona . I have Arizona to win the tourney but who cares . Villanova versus Houston will be fun .

Anyone stand out at all? Kind of following Javon's twitter but tough to discern anything. I'm sure he'll do a write up but just curious if anyone knows anything yet

Per his Twitter

Added to the list of teams who have been to the Sweet 16 since our Owls last went. When will we return..

Story from @Dante Collinelli.

I hope Houston who represents the AAC, wins .

Based on what I have seen , here is my starting lineup next year and the reserves .

Starters : Miller , Battle, White , Jourdain and portal center that can score and rebound .

subs : Williams , Dunn , Hicks , Tolbert and Okpomo or Forrester

Deep Subs . Strickland ( if he takes that position on the bench )

note: we have 10-12 playable players . We should use more pressing defense and really overwhelm other teams .

Now I know we are going to get lots of disagreements . Let’s debate .
