We're talking to Trey Lowe this week for the next episode of The Scoop. If you have mailbag questions for Trey or for us about the roster, staff, recruiting or something off-topic, please drop it in here by Friday at 1 p.m. and we'll get it answered for you on the podcast.

Trey, as I'm sure you all know, was a top-150 recruit for Fran Dunphy as part of Temple's 2015 class and just spent the 2022-23 season on Fran's staff as his director of player development at La Salle. He's also going to be an assistant coach on the Broad Street Birds TBT team.

I hope you all had a great holiday and we look forward to answering your questions on the podcast.

Good afternoon, everyone. We're taking mailbag questions for this week's podcast until 1 p.m. tomorrow. Although it might be a basketball-centric episode because of our interview with Trey Lowe, we're happy to take football mailbag questions, too.

Thank you, as always, for listening!

1. TUFB was 25-15 in the MAC, compared to a losing record in the AAC.
2. The MAC schools are more aligned with the TU's BOT support and vision for athletics.
3. MAC schools payout nominal amounts to NIL, much like TU and below AAC averages. The TU AD doesn't support or believe in NIL, just like the MAC AD's.
4. TU Alumni and student body support is startling similar to MAC schools.
5. So what's it going to be? Stay in the AAC and continue to watch the developed college world pass us by, or return to the MAC and dominate?

Rymir Vaughn talked to class of 2025 Perkiomen School guard KJ Cochran, and we'll have a story up later today about his recent unofficial visit to Temple and his recruitment.

With Nate's announcement last night, I wanted to provide an update on where I hear things stand with the roster.

Nate is likely not returning. Things could change because of COVID, but the outcomes are as follows. He gets drafted...., he goes to Europe, he grad transfers, he transfers, or he returns. His plan was to graduate in August but I'm not sure if classes will even be available this summer. Him returning also implies Aaron has a spot for him to return to. I don't know if that will be the case.

Josh will not be returning. It never worked. I was hesitant to confirm anything prior because, hey, he's 18 or so, but I've heard from too many people that "he never bought in." Another word used to describe him was "malcontent". He often told teammates that he would have been happier at UNLV and poo poo'd the situation at Temple. Nate was a good soldier and solid culture guy. Josh was not. Deep down, I don't think he ever wanted to be here and Aaron knows you need guys to buy in, especially when you're rebuilding.

This was not a coincidence posting back in February, which seems like 1,000 days ago.

I think that should be it for departures. There's an outside chance we may see one more, but I think it's slim.

Not getting Barry hurt. We beat out schools like Michigan, Georgetown, Pitt, Iowa State, and Wake Forest. We just didn't beat out his loyalty to Dartmouth.

They're still after JUCOs, grad transfers, and standard transfers. I think they're in good spots with guys that they like.

We're taking mailbag questions until Thursday at 3 p.m. for this week's episode of The Scoop, which will include an interview with Ben Osueke, the JUCO cornerback out of Blinn Junior College who signed with Temple as part of the Owls' 2023 class.

If you have questions for Ben or for us as a staff, please drop them in here and we'll answer them on the podcast.

Thanks as always for listening, and here's last week's episode with Victor Stoffel in case you missed it!

What's on your mind? Let us know. Recruiting, roster, off-topic stuff? We're taking mailbag questions for this week's podcast until 3 p.m. today.

New Temple Men's Basketball coach.

Discuss.

Coach was an alum/former rower. His contract was not renewed but seemed like the program had done well during his tenure.

Men‘s Tennis defeated Delaware yesterday for their 12th straight victory and are now 12-2 on the season.

Women’s Tennis fell to Delaware yesterday but had been on an 8 game winning streak and are 9-2 this season.

@Max Dinenberg caught up with Clearwater Academy International edge rusher Samuel Ehret this week to talk to him about his recruitment and his recent Temple visit.

Here's Rymir Vaughn's story on German tight end Daniel Evert, Temple's fifth verbal commitment from the 2024 class.

For the second straight year, Temple has reached overseas for a tight end prospect. Germany tight end Daniel Evert has committed to Temple. Last season, Peter Clarke committed to Temple out of England.

Thank you as always for listening!

Hearing the basketball team may be going Jordan Brand. May take a year because of Covid but it will likely and eventually get done.

More good stuff here, including how Fisher plans to approach recruiting the 2024 and '25 classes, why he feels Temple is behind in NIL and where he thinks they can be, and how he hosted 33 former Owls on a recent Zoom call and his plans for building alumni engagement.

What does this mean for TU? Will the ACC scramble and replace with 7-10 new members? Would we go?

Things are starting to heat up with recruiting, and preseason camp is less than two months away. Let us know what's on your mind and drop in a mailbag question here by noon tomorrow for this week's podcast.

Although this episode will include a portion of our interview with Adam Fisher, we'll still talk plenty of football as well.

Thank you all so much for listening. We greatly appreciate it!
