Top 20 Owls Last 20 Years

It was either this or start drinking at 10am. Would it be interesting to discuss who are the top 20 Owls of the last 20 years? I made my list and I went out to 30 figuring it would further seed debate.

1. Khalif Wyatt 2009-2013 - Capable of carrying an entire team to NCAA tournament victories. Incredible clutch genes. Member of 4 NCAA tournament teams. Averaged 20.5 ppg as a senior. Maybe the most fun to watch of any player on this list. Won A-10 sixth man award as a soph. Named 2nd team all conf as a junior. Named first team all conf, A-10 POY, and Big 5 POY as a senior.

2. Lynn Greer - 1997-2002 - It was either Wyatt or Greer #1 on this list. The only 2 players of the last 20 years that could single handedly bend a postseason game in Temple's favor at their will. Greer averaged 23.2 ppg as a senior. He played on 4 NCAA tournament teams including two Elite 8 runs. He is Temple's 2nd all time leading scorer. He dropped 47 in a game at Wisconsin. He scored 36 pts including a game winning 3 to beat Jameer & Delonte at the Palestra in 2002 in one of the most classic Big 5 Palestra games all time. But Greer failed to reach the NCAA tournament as a senior and was not the most shiny player on any other NCAA tournament teams. Hence, the nod to Khalif.

Recruiting Update

We will have a story later up on the site on Andrew Garwo (Class of 2021 Cornerback). He is releasing his top-five later today and it's expected that Temple will be on the list. Garwo's other offers include Boston College, Central Michigan, Colorado State and Buffalo.

A source familiar with Garwo's recruitment informed me that Boston College stopped recruiting him and he is "not a take anymore." BC filled up at cornerback, getting six commitments in 10 days, including a class of 2022 commit.

The Scoop with Aaron McKie

Hi, everyone! We're recording Season 5, Episode 39 of The Scoop tomorrow morning with Aaron McKie, and we'll try to mix in some reader mailbag questions if we have time. So if you have a question for Aaron, please post it here and we'll do our best to get it into the mix.

We'll take questions up until midnight tonight.

And here's our weekly reminder to subscribe, rate and review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts. I mention Apple Podcasts as often as I do because the majority (43 percent) of our podcast subscribers access The Scoop that way, but we also have those who access it through Spotify, Google Podcasts and others.

Thank you as always for listening!

Hypothetical Question

What if the UNC Military Bowl game was the last Temple football game ever played? What if the virus keeps us off the field for this whole year causing serious financial hardship issues for the University. And then the P5, for similar financial concerns, breaks away from the NCAA. And faced with our stadium challenges, as we look up at an even thicker glass ceiling, the Temple board of Trustees in decisive fashion concludes we are buried too deep to legitimately continue to fund the program. And that resources have gotten so thin b/c of significant decreases in international student applications, the shutting down of the dorms and dorm revenues, and campus life as we know it, that we need every penny we can get our hands on simply to maintain the academic rigors and standards the Temple University brand requires?

But this is entirely hypothetical. Slow day at work today (errr, at home). Couldn't help myself.

Antonio's Barber Owlscoop Article

Great read -- especially when it comes to how the staff are recruiting players. The development of players into the NFL is really resonating and will hopefully sway these players from P5 offers. I really like the message being delivered by Carey's staff. This article gives you a nice peek at what staff are saying to players they are recruiting
We'll see if they can keep it up and close.
