Temple Football Forever 
Speaking of the Sixers, I was at Parx Casino and saw the Celtics hit a basket with 1.7 seconds left, got up and started walking out of the building. One minute later, I hear a loud roar. Thinking they had won on a half-court buzzer beater, I ran back. Unfortunately, they only tied.
Looks like the comments work, John.
What I was not able to post is a comment that the Owls should make contact with the Imotep kid who had his scholarship revoked by PSU after being arrested for robbery. Owls could use as a hook the process they used with Bernard Pierce.
Mike
This almost certainly cannot be a move that hurts, but how great a player can this kid really be?
Why is he leaving Syracuse??i tend to think it us because they have recruits who may push fior his playing time.
He’ll help the Owls, but us this more of a case in which Temple is getting table scraps of a middling power 5 rather than some big steal??
Not saying he’s great, Jf, but any time you can get a safety who has 21 starts under his belt at a Power 5 school, it’s a big, big, plus. Bigger plus would be if Benny or Keyvone would beat him out but judging from his film Junior is obviously a very accomplished player against better competition than Temple faces. Big difference that our grad transfer comes from the ACC this year versus our grad transfer coming from the MEAAC last year. I think he’s far from a scrap. A scrap would be a guy who signed at ‘Cuse who could never get on the field there.
Concur. Rodney is a great addition, and he’s a local hero.
Of course you’re right Mike, and believe me, I ain’t looking a gift horse in the mouth. Just a bit wary you know??
Did Mike Jones totally blow his opportunity to play in the NFL by coming to Temple? #embracedebate
After the unearned penalty during the Houston game ( I believe it was the Houston game), he played tentatively. The whole defensive backfield was mediocre this season. I blame it on mediocre coaching.
that db coach Robinson was terrible. Glad he fled for rutgers.
Mike Jones ? In watching him last year, I did not see much of that extra special value plays coming from him. I thought, with his pre-announced pedigree ( make that hype ) we were to see a champ out there, especially since AAC was not group of great players.
Since Temple Football did get about 8 NFL draft or invites, then to me, it was a sure thing TU FB does get recognized by Pro’s.
Must be they saw something lacking , and not use a draft pick for him….
