Whatâs in a name? Temple forward Sir Issac Herron had plenty to say about that on this weekâs episode of The Scoop.
The 6-foot-10 forward who joined the Owls via the transfer portal from Louisiana Tech talked about the origins of his name, recovering from two injuries, and why he feels better than he ever has as he attempts to build upon last season and improve coach Adam Fisherâs frontcourt.
Herron had some high praise for fellow Temple big man Christian Beam and forwards Edwin Suarez and Baboucarr Njie, and weâll tell you why you should keep your eyes peeled for another Temple football verbal commitment this week.

Temple womenâs basketball coach Diane Richardson joined us on The Scoop this week for a deep dive into a roster that includes an even mix of six returnees and six newcomers as the Owls head into the 2026-27 season. Why did Kaylah Turner, Tristen Taylor and Saniyah Craig decide to come back? What could the additions of players like Penn State transfer Shayla Smith and JUCO All-American Myla Benton mean to the Owlsâ depth? How is forward Anastasia Bulanova recovering from the knee injury that kept her out last season? Richardson answered all those questions â and many more â on this weekâs podcast, including some tidbits about future nonconference schedules that may or may not include Dawn Staley and South Carolina.
Weâll also tell you why you shouldnât be worried about three recent Temple football decommits, provide some context about the return of menâs hoops center Mohamed Keita, and tell you how head coach Adam Fisher might look to use his last roster spot.

Templeâs backcourt is comprised of two point guards head coach Adam Fisher and his staff nearly got prior to last season before circling back and landing them this time around. Former USC guard Jordan Marsh, who joined us earlier this month on The Scoop, is one of them.
The other, former Indiana point guard Deuce Drake, sat down for an interview with us this week to talk about his well-traveled basketball journey that has taken him from Michiganâs Ferndale High School through four college stops and finally to North Broad Street, where he is healthy again after the turf-toe and stress fracture injuries that kept him off the court last season in the Big Ten.
Drake averaged 11.1 points per game and shot nearly 40% from three-point range two seasons ago at Drexel and believes he can surpass those numbers this season en route to having Temple playing meaningful games in March.

Temple literally got a courtside view of what Baboucarr Njie could do when the former UTSA wing guard dropped a career-high 25 points on the Owls back in January and added 10 rebounds for a double-double. And now that Njie has signed with Temple out of the transfer portal, head coach Adam Fisher and his staff can gameplan with the 6-foot-6, 185-pound junior instead of having to prepare to play against him. Njie joined us on The Scoop this week to talk about why he signed with Temple and why he believes his versatility, athleticism and shot-blocking ability will be an asset for the Owls this season.
We also have more Temple football recruiting updates for you and will tell you why Peter Clarke should be considered one of the best tight ends in the programâs history.

Last week on The Scoop, Temple head coach Adam Fisher talked about why he was excited to bring USC transfer Jordan Marsh to Temple. This week, youâll hear from Marsh himself in our 1-on-1 interview with the rising senior point guard. After averaging 18.8 points per game at UNC Asheville two seasons ago, Marsh entered the portal and nearly committed to Temple after a visit with the Owls before USC swooped in at the last minute to sign him.

âI knew exactly where I wanted to be,â Marsh said of Temple.

After a career that spanned stints in the NFL, XFL and the CFL, former Temple quarterback PJ Walker announced his retirement earlier this month at the age of 31. The Owlsâ all-time leading passer joined us on the podcast this week to reminisce about his time on North Broad Street with former head coach Matt Rhule, who later became his NFL head coach with the Carolina Panthers. Walker shared stories about the 2015 win over Penn State,the last-minute drive down at UCF that saved Templeâs season and vaulted the Owls to a 2016 American Conference championship, and the bonds he built with teammates like Jahad Thomas, Robby Anderson and Tyler Matakevich. And during his time with the Indianapolis Colts, Walker played for an offensive coordinator named Nick Sirianni.
How does Walker view the Eaglesâ Super Bowl-winning but oft-criticized head coach? Find out on this weekâs episode of The Scoop.
