As you may have noticed, the commitment list is a little smaller on the front page. That's because, in addition to Korron Rozier's removal a few days ago, Raekwon Gray and Elorm Lumor are no longer on it. The pair didn't decommit, per se, but Temple won't be signing them.
That leaves Temple with, for now, 16 commitments for the Class of 2015. There will still be commitment turnover, like there is every year, before February 4. Players that are currently on the commitment list won't be there in a few weeks and I'd wager that a couple of players currently committed at other schools will end up at Temple. In the end, Temple will sign 21 kids and end up greyshirting/prep schooling a few.
The reason that the Owls won't sign the full allotment of 25 kids this year is because they took four blueshirts last season. A blueshirt is when a player shows up on campus during the summer and is put on scholarship. Temple took four of these players this year, including Florida transfer Colin Thompson and former PSU player Zayd Issah (now gone.)
