The Temple Owls have added a late addition from the class of 2004. Mark Tyndale, the 6-foot-4, 200-pound shooting guard from Simon Gratz High School in Philadelphia, PA., made the announcement during a press conference earlier in the day. Tyndale plans to officially visit Temple once their run in the NIT is complete.

“I committed to Temple about an hour ago,” Tyndale said. “I made the announcement during a press conference. Playing for Coach Chaney was one of the biggest reasons I decided to play for Temple. He is a great coach and has done a great job at Temple for a long time. I took a visit to LaSalle and Rhode Island, but I really felt that Temple was the best situation for me.

“I am going to take an official visit to Temple after they are finished playing in the NIT,” he added. “I plan to sign my letter of intent during the first day of the late signing period.”
