Any news on our 4 star freshman running back? Is he fully recovered from his injury? Is he expected to compete for immediate playing time?

From the Temple News

We lose a top target to Penn State in basketball, and it's a distinct possibility we could beat them in football.

Go Owls.

But, will we be able to keep them here once this team starts to win on a consistent basis?

It's quite apparent that the players love to learn from and play for their respective coaches and MR and so do recruits!

Will the university and its alumni be willing to pony up once the offers from other schools tries to spirit away our staff?

Thoughts, anyone?

Jahsen Wint will be announcing his commitment on Sunday, he told me. The Brooklyn native is down to Temple, UMass and Syracuse. He's considered a pretty heavy Temple lean at this point.

I hope Junior Galette and Terrance Knighton have great seasons.

i saw his tweet mentioning he will be talking to UAB, is he on his way out? Any info on his status with temple?

Good story about the Upper Merion High School safety.

I covered Brad Scioli at U.M. before he went to Penn State. Maybe we'll get lucky with another Vikings standout.

... Larry Brown is in trouble with the NCAA again.

Rothstein has several tweets on the AAC and also wrote the article I have linked below. It looks like he has Temple 7th in his pre-season power rankings (from this twitter feed).

Link. Decent read.

Reading Drew Parent's article in which Avery Williams, Jacob Martin and Michael Dogbe talk about how they can't wait for the season to begin has me really pumped up.

forget about Ric Brunson for a minute. I keep hearing "im glad we got Mckie instead." "Mckie was the better hire anyway." long term Mckie is better, etc..

Aaron has been on the job for over a year now. the biggest area the coaching staff needed help was with recruiting. Has Aaron made an impact there?? Im sure working under Dunphy has to make the job difficult but I'm just wondering how others feel.
When AAron was first mentioned as a plan B to Brunson I wasnt as excited but i did get caught up in the hype. I do think if anything its great to see a hall fame player on the bench and a former Chaney player as well but after that whats left?

This should be almost a given , how can we try to make this happen !

As expected, Parkland HS' Kenny Yeboah committed to Temple this afternoon. Yeboah caught 43 passes for 716 yards for Parkland last year and chose Temple over seven other offers. His final three was Temple, Old Dominion and Towson.

Yeboah will likely fill a sort of h-back role for Temple at the next level.

I'm not trying to start a debate over the value of how many stars a commit has, but does anyone know how often a 2* rising senior picks up a third star his senior season? and if any of the 2* commits we have should expect a third star?

Alani Moore from Montrose Christian (Mark Williams). Moore is undersized, but plays for a top notch HS program. Offers from PSU, UCF, UMass, URI. He had 20 and 5 rebounds against NJ Playaz (Myles Powell, Jagan Mosely, Taurean Thompson, Temple Gibbs). He's a much better rebounder than you would think for his size.

Guess Owls will not be terrorized by him anymore unless teams meet up in post season tourney.
