Hey guys,
Saw this thread and figured I would weigh in.
A lot of Temple's recruiting success so far has to do solely with Matt Rhule. He brings an energy that the program started to lack under Addazio. Rhule was the leading force behind a lot of the recruiting success Temple had under Al Golden. He was the one that convinced Addazio to take a shot at Tyler Matakevich too. He has a good eye for talent and is a young and exciting coach. He really relates to the kids he is recruiting.
Temple has also invested heavily in the program as a university. The practice facility has been expanded with a $10+million expansion last year, they have added an indoor facility (remoled an older student pavilion), and there is talk of an on campus stadium in the works...
Thanks, looking forward to building a strong rivalry with Uconn!
