In case you all missed it out on the front page, I caught up with Georgetown transfer Jordan Riley late last night, and you can read the story from our interview here.

Riley becomes the 10th scholarship player on new head coach Adam Fisher's roster, and Temple is set to host Howard transfer forward Steve Settle for a visit that starts tomorrow. Settle, who averaged 11.1 points and 5.7 rebounds for Howard and scored 13 points in the Bison's opening-round NCAA Tournament loss to Kansas, is a priority for the Owls.
Should Settle choose Temple, he'll become the 11th scholarship player on the roster. Fisher will be competing with his former Miami colleague Chris Caputo, now the head coach at George Washington, for Settle.
I've talked to enough sources over the last few days to know where Fisher and his staff would go from there. Instead of recruiting another big, Fisher and his staff would likely pursue another point guard for depth, and it would be a grad transfer or someone with one more year of eligibility. At this point, the staff would not want to get locked in to a transfer with multiple years of eligibility remaining. If you take a player at this point who doesn't pan out, then he would have to sit out a year before leaving again, meaning the Owls might be committed to him for more than a year.
If they get a 12th player, I would not at all be surprised to see Fisher hold that last scholarship for either a midyear transfer for the season to come or roll it over into the 2024 class.

The Georgetown transfer talked to OwlScoop about why he committed to the Owls and why his game film tells the story.
