Season 9, Episode 39 - Our Steve Settle interview, the NCAA settlement explained, and a food bracket for fans

This week’s episode of OwlScoop.com’s podcast is packed with a little bit of everything, so time stamps will be your friend.

 

Temple men’s basketball fans can enjoy the first part of our 1-on-1 interview with Owls forward Steve Settle, who explained how he and his teammates turned around their season in the span of five games to get to the brink of a conference championship and NCAA Tournament berth.

 

If you’re curious about what the latest House v. NCAA settlement will mean for a program like Temple, Philadelphia lawyer Andrew Hope joined us on The Scoop again to lend his legal perspective to the issue and explained while it may not be such a bad thing for the Owls and the landscape of college athletics.

 

And fans of yesterday and today can tune in for the unveiling of our first Summertime Madness bracket that pits former and current Temple food spots against each other in tournament matchups that will be decided by you – the listeners and voters – and the OwlScoop staff. Where do pizza places like Eddie's, Fames and Philly Style check in? Remember the place on campus back in the 90s on Broad Street that served Chines food and donuts? It made the field, too. 

 

What’s the latest on the recruiting front as Adam Fisher and his staff look to fill out their last two scholarship spots? How can the new Owl Elite Fund, a new for-profit NIL collective, complement the TUFF Fund? What are the best-case, worst-case and most realistic scenarios ahead for the men’s and women’s basketball teams? We talked about that in the mailbag, too.

Season 9, Episode 38 - A wild week in the recruiting world

The transfer portal has its ups and downs, and Stan Drayton's football program experienced both feelings in the same week.

Just days after getting a verbal commitment from Division II defensive tackle Collin Vaughn, Temple lost Vaughn to Utah State after he changed his mind less than a week later. 

So what's next for Drayton's football program and Adam Fisher's men's basketball program on the recruiting front? What's an early educated guess at Fisher's starting five? Want to hear a story about Allen Iverson and Aaron McKie during their time together with the 76ers? We dove into that and much more on this week's mailbag and talked more about our Scoop Summer Madness field of 34 food bracket, which will be revealed next week.

Season 9, Episode 33: A detailed breakdown of the Cherry and White game and what's next for the Owls

The defense was credited with 13 sacks in Saturday's Cherry and White, with Diwun Black getting six of them, and head coach Stan Drayton said he's not ready to say that any of his quarterbacks are ready for the season opener at Oklahoma. 

 

What does that mean for what looks like a wide-open quarterback battle between Forrest Brock, Evan Simon, Tyler Douglas, Patrick Keller and anyone else the staff might add via the portal? What can fans feel good about after spring ball? 

 

We'll give you a detailed breakdown of Temple's quarterback battle, some reasons why Owls fans can feel good about the direction of the team, and some men's and women's basketball recruiting updates on this week's podcast, along with answers to your mailbag questions.
