First-year head coach Stan Drayton said he wanted to add some depth at quarterback, and Temple has it now after adding North Dakota State's Quincy Patterson, who started his career at Virginia Tech.

John DiCarlo, Dante Collinelli and Sam Cohn break down Patterson's game and what his addition could mean to the Owls, along with another transfer portal addition in Duke offensive tackle Peace Addo. 

And Aaron McKie's Temple basketball team still has just nine scholarship players on the roster. Do the Owls have enough talent to be an NCAA Tournament team as they continue to build toward next season and look to add pieces to the program? We answer that question and several more from the mailbag, too. 

UCF center Jamille Reynolds announced his verbal commitment to Temple Friday afternoon, and more help could be on the way for the Owls via the transfer portal. John DiCarlo, Kyle Gauss, Sam Cohn and Dante Collinelli have you covered with the latest recruiting updates on this week's episode of The Scoop. 

You'll get a breakdown of Reynolds' game and how he could fit into Temple's offense, as well as updates on who else could be close to committing to the Owls. 

Fran Duffy, the Philadelphia Eagles' production Manager, on-air talent and host of the Journey To The Draft podcast, joined The Scoop this week to talk about the NFL Draft, as well as current Eagles and former Temple stars Haason Reddick and Shaun Bradley.
