Just because we're knee deep in coaching search coverage doesn't mean we've forgotten about hoops coverage. If you have a mailbag question for this week's pod, please drop it in here by 2 p.m. tomorrow, and we'll answer it on the show.

Good afternoon, everyone!

Figured that this is a good time to get this out there. The obvious elephant in the room is the pending NCAA House Settlement and how that will impact Temple's roster limits/scholarship allotments going forward. For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to keep the scholarship limit at 85 until more information is available.

The other obvious elephant is that Stan Drayton's departure, as well as the pending hire of a new head coach, will have a huge impact on next year's roster. So expect fairly frequent updates to this chart.

That being said, here's Temple's current scholarship situation for next year.

We talked to Adam Fisher today ahead of this weekend's games up at the Hall of Fame Tipoff.

Not the most pressing issue at the present, but we only have 3 non-conference opponents in 2025.

August 30 @ UMass
Sept. 13 Oklahoma
Sept. 20 @ Georgia Tech

That leaves September 6 open for either an AAC contest or my preference a home non-conference game.
Scanning on FB Schedules left me finding only Air Force as a potential D1 opponent on that weekend. There are plenty of FCS possibilities ( no Villanova is otherwise engaged).
Preferences?

Some surprising balls with this one. Was fry responsible??

For the AD position, they're close to making a decision on the search firm that will be used to assist in hiring the AD. This looks like it won't take a year like originally thought could happen. Thank God because Fran is doing us no favors right now.

In case you missed it out on the front page, Kyle, Declan, Johnny and I recorded a Sunday edition of The Scoop to break down Stan Drayton's dismissal and where the program goes from here.

...on the current state of Temple football and what is needed in the next hire.

Got his ass kicked and I will admit I do find satisfaction in that.

Can we start throwing some names around.

Chip Kelly oc at Ohio st.

Temple Deputy Athletic Director Craig Angelos, the department's men's basketball administrator, joined us on The Scoop this week. He told us basically everything you could hope to know about the basketball schedule, the program's COVID testing protocol and the challenges of having a basketball season, the Nike deal, his experience in helping to get a football stadium built at FAU and how it all came together and much more. And he answered mailbag questions about the basketball program's plans for improving its social media presence, too.

This needs to be restated.

JDC have you heard anything on the point shaving investigation and when it will rap up?

Temple opened -1 and they are currently +1.5. BC isn’t good but a chance for a true road win against a Power 5 conference.

From the high of basketball to the low of football

Temple -7. Let's keep the momentum going.

We don’t deserve this PK…he’s really solid. And, stop trying to run the ball - we suck at it!

Is there a snap count for the Tulane game available?

More on Cam Wallace and Cam Miles signing with Temple, which currently has the No. 50 2025 class in the nation and the best in the American according to Rivals.

Some important official visits for Temple on the horizon this month.

We're taking mailbag questions for this week's episode of The Scoop until noon Wednesday so we can work the Drexel game into the conversation.
