Temple is expected to formerly offer Math, Civics & Sciences swingman Jeremiah Worthem a scholarship, according to sources close to the situations.

The 6-foot-6 sophomore has offers from Rice, St. Joseph’s, Drexel and La Salle. He’s also receiving some interest from Pittsburgh and Maryland.

Worthem finished with 22 points and 12 rebounds to lead Math, Civics & Sciences to a 70-55 PIAA Class A state championship victory over Lincoln Park on Friday in State College.

I trust Dunphy, but Temple needs a few big bruisers ala the Big 10.

Even with Lavoy gone, seems like Temple will be solid next year. But we not only need a couple big guys but guys who can dominate with scoring UNDER the boards - with muscle and moves underneath, power dunks. We have enough finesse already. Go Owls.
