The transfer portal continues to change college basketball rosters at a nonstop pace, and Tuesday brought another move that caught attention across multiple programs. Jordan Marsh joined the Temple Owls , adding an experienced guard with a track record of scoring and playmaking.
But the move did not affect just Temple's roster. It also sparked reaction across the college basketball landscape, including from Duke Blue Devils guard Caleb Foster , whose brief message quickly became part of the conversation surrounding Marsh's next step.

Jordan Marsh Lands at Temple
Temple confirmed that Marsh will join the program for the 2026-27 season, giving coach Adam Fisher another key addition through the portal. The 5-foot-11 guard arrives after spending last season with the USC Trojans . He averaged 7.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.9 assists while shooting 35.7% from 3-point range.
Marsh showed flashes of his scoring ability throughout the year, including a 20-point performance against Maryland and a 19-point outing against Northwestern. He filled the stat sheet in his final game: 13 points, nine rebounds, five assists and two steals.

Before USC, Marsh delivered a breakout season at UNC Asheville. During the 2024-25 campaign, he averaged 18.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 2.0 steals per game. He earned All-Big South first-team honors, Big South Newcomer of the Year and recognition as a Lou Henson Award finalist.
He began his college career at Appalachian State and now heads to his fourth program with over 1,000 career points already to his name.
Caleb Foster Reacts to Transfer Decision
Shortly after Marsh's commitment went public, Foster shared a brief reaction on social media , posting "the 1." While short, the message drew attention, given Foster's profile at Duke and the timing of the post.

Foster's reaction hits a little differently because this was not just a random transfer portal comment. Foster previously told Pro Insight that he had "a brother on the team, Jordan Marsh," while discussing his background at Hickory Ridge.
What Marsh Brings to North Broad
Marsh's addition continues a busy offseason for Temple, which has aggressively used the transfer portal to reshape its roster. His combination of speed, scoring ability and playmaking gives the Owls another versatile option in the backcourt.

Fisher emphasized those traits, pointing to Marsh's ability to create offense. That aligns with what Marsh showed at UNC Asheville, where he handled a primary role and consistently produced.
With multiple transfers joining the program, the focus shifts to fit and chemistry. Marsh's experience across different systems could help ease that transition, especially as Temple looks to build a cohesive rotation.
