Jamai Felt, the reigning MAC freshman of the year, transferred to Temple from Bowling Green this spring and could give Owls head coach Adam Fisher the rim protector the program has lacked during the past two seasons. The 6-foot-10 Felt, who led the MAC with 46 blocked shots, joined The Scoop this week and talked to us about recovering from two ACL surgeries and why Temple was the right fit for him when he entered the NCAA’s transfer portal.

Felt, who is recovering from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his shoulder, said he will be ready for the start of preseason practice and the regular season. The shot-blocking numbers he put up last season, he said, are just a preview of things to come.

“Forty-six blocks is a lot,” Felt said, “but I'm trying to do more this year. Trying to get (American Athletic Conference) defensive player of the year for sure.”

In addition to providing updates on Temple football’s two newest verbal commitments, we also paid tribute to the lateJohn DiSangro, the former longtime director of basketball operations under Hall of Fame coach John Chaney. DiSangro passed away last week at the age of 60 and was memorialized by his nephew, Rocco DiSangro, on this week’s podcast.
