Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqKCheck out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilDNormally, Tuesdays on the BWI Live show are reserved primarily for discussions about the current Penn State football team, while the Thursday show focuses on recruiting. However, the Nittany Lions lost four top recruiting targets between Wednesday and Friday of last week. This recruiting news sparked a frenzy of panic among Penn State fans to the point that even reporter Nate Bauer wrote about it on Friday. So, today, we'll discuss the bigger implications of Penn State's loss of Khary Adams, Joey O'Brien, Greyson McKeogh, and Luke Wafle to its top rivals. We'll discuss the emotional impact, the logical next steps, and what the big picture means for the team's ability to compete at the highest levels of the sport, given the influence of NIL on recruiting. Join the show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube to discuss this, plus the latest roster update from the team and your questions! We'll be opening the live chat for discussion from fans throughout the show. Gang Green sets in for Penn State recruitingThree of the four players mentioned earlier all chose Notre Dame over Penn State. Meanwhile, Wafle chose USC over Ohio State in a bidding war that reportedly eclipsed 2 million dollars in NIL money. We'll address each individual recruiting situation and then consider them as part of a larger picture. Can Penn State's current model of retention withstand the new economy of recruiting? Will the program be cut off from top talent each cycle? Bauer and recruiting reporter Sean Fitz will dive deep into the topic to give Penn State fans a much-needed perspective on the topic. Penn State roster update and long-term weight changes In team-specific news, Penn State released its latest roster update, with Jabree Coleman joining the program this week. With it came updated weights for the program's athletes. We've tracked the progress of each player since January, and today, we'll reveal the biggest weight gainers and losers this offseason. What context should fans take from this? We'll discuss players who are transforming their bodies and which players may be falling behind for one reason or another. Nickel corner battle hinges on fall camp We also talked to Penn State defensive coordinator Jim Knowles this month. What did he say about his defense, and what he expects from the team this year? Bauer spoke to Knowles in an exclusive one-on-one interview recently, and he'll preview that conversation on today's show. In a separate conversation, Knowles discussed his nickel position in depth with BWI. We'll discuss the big takeaways from that conversation and what they mean for the team's defense this fall. Finally, despite the earlier recruiting focus on the show, there's more recruiting news to discuss this week. We'll wrap up the show with Fitz's recruiting update, discussing the news from this past weekend and the decisions looming on the horizon for the Penn State Class of 2026. #PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Penn State Recruiting Takes a Hit + Roster Update and Weight Changes

The bad news for the top of Penn State's 2026 prospects started Wednesday when four-star tackle Greyson McKeogh chose Notre Dame over Penn State and Texas. Shortly after, industry experts put in picks for top defensive back targets Khary Adams and Joey O'Brien to join him in South Bend. After that, reports from On3 surfaced that USC and Ohio State were in a bidding war for top defensive end Luke Wafle, who was about to command a seven-figure NIL package. Where does that leave Penn State? Snyder will do his best to give fans the intel on why things are trending away from the Nittany Lions with in-state and regional targets. We'll also discuss who is left on the board and what the program can do to make up ground. Penn State finishing June with three camps in five days Penn State hosted a smaller mid-week camp on Wednesday that BWI attended. Several top commits and prospects were also in attendance. We'll discuss what we saw from defensive line commit Isaac Chukwurah, and 2027 target Abraham Sessay. Defensive back commits Julian Peterson and Matt Sieg also attended camp, which was our first time to see them work up close. We'll discuss how they performed. Previewing Visits and Camps to close JuneFinally, we'll preview the end of the 2025 June calendar. A recruiting dead period starts next week, lasting until the start of the 2025 season. It's the final chance to get prospects on campus for official visits and to have top targets visit the program. We'll discuss the upcoming players making their way to campus for a final round of official visits, and then those players will be invited to the Lasch Bash and White Out Camp on Sunday.

The Team USA roster for the Senior World Wrestling Championships will be announced this weekend in Newark, N.J. Penn State standouts and Nittany Lion Wrestling Club members are competing at Final X. Some are vying for a backup spot on the early portion of the day-long card. Others are seeking a starting spot on the national team for this year's championships, which are set for September in Croatia.We preview Saturday's action on a fresh episode of the Blue-White Illustrated Penn State wrestling show.Host Thomas Frank Carr and reporter Greg Pickel start by taking a look at the true third place matches. Those start at 12:30 p.m. ET. Multiple wrestlers, including incoming freshman Marcus Blaze and five-time NCAA champ Carter Starocci, are competing for a backup spot on Team USA. Blaze is in the 65 kilogram (143.3 pounds) true third place match opposite Nebraska's Brock Hardy. Starocci, then, has a familiar foe in Parker Keckeisen of Northern Iowa in the 86-kilogram (189.5 pounds) true third place match. A win would mean Blaze and Starocci have national team resources for the next year. And, for Blaze in particular, it would mean the U23 Team USA spot at 65 kilograms is his to turn down.

Penn State gets even more preseason accolades There's no secret at this point that the Penn State football team is the national media darling of the 2025 offseason. Phil Steele published his top 40 teams for the upcoming season, and Steele was very high on the Nittany Lions.

We'll put those ideas to the test in our latest edition of Buy or Sell. Today, we'll focus primarily on the defensive side of the ball. Can Penn State allow fewer rushing yards than it did last season? Will they produce more takeaways? We'll debate those ideas on today's show.

Fitz will discuss the reaction to the weekend, plus share his thoughts about what he saw at the team's various prospect camps on Friday and Sunday.

While the team could still add players already in the portal, it's less likely by the day that will happen. So, today on the BWI Live Show, we're re-ranking the Penn State offensive positions. We ranked the positions before spring football on the site and will now reveal which positions we think took the biggest steps in player acquisition and development over the last two months.

Penn State Football NewsIt's a quiet time of the year for the program, with most of the focus shifting to recruiting. However, there has been news about former Penn State players trying to make it in the NFL this week. Two former Nittany Lion defensive linemen signed with teams in the last four days for tryouts or rookie practice spots. We'll discuss how Amin Vanover and Dvon J-Thomas can make a roster this spring. We'll also briefly discuss the recruiting weekend. The Elite 11 wraps up its national tour in State College on Sunday. Blue White Illustrated will be at the event to watch two Penn State passers. The team has fielded at least one committed passer at the last three events in the shadow of Penn State's campus. We'll preview what we want to learn about Peyton Falzone and Troy Huhn this weekend. Power Ranking the offenseEach year we track the team's progress in the offseason by ranking it's collective pieces on both sides of the ball pre and post spring football. This year, we're starting with the offense in our post-spring evaluation. Penn State added another wide receiver to the mix hours before the Blue-White Game when former Syracuse receiver Trebor Pena committed to the program. Was that enough to get the position out of the basement? We'll discuss the team's roster, counting from five to one on the show. We'll also track how certain positions developed this spring, vaulting one team to a new number one on the offense while two critical positions merged even closer in the rankings. Be sure to check out the show live at 10 a.m. or catch the replay on the site. You can also listen to the audio version anywhere you get your podcasts. #PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3

Today on the BWI Live Show, we'll discuss the impact of Davion Brown joining the program, plus we'll preview the upcoming season. We'll run through the roster and discuss if we think each position is better or worse than it was last season.

Does Penn State look like other championship teams at this point in the season? We've seen plenty of ways that other programs have won a national championship in college football. There's no one way to do it. Yet, there are some clues as to how other comparable programs have operated before they went on a championship run. Today, we'll see if Penn State stacks up to that with the recent speculation about the program. We'll review how many 2026 draft picks the team could put into the NFL in the top three rounds and how Penn State is building a strong consensus as the top team in college football. Fitz's Recruiting Update: A surprise commitment Penn State picked up a surprise commitment late Monday night when four-star wide receiver target Davion Brown committed to the program. Brown planned on visiting the team this coming weekend for an official visit, but pulled the trigger early and joined the team a few days ahead of his trip to HappY Valley. Why? Recruiting reporter Sean Fitz will discuss what he knows about the situation, and we'll give you an early impression of what Brown can provide Penn State in the Class of 2026. We'll also discuss how the team has another wide receiver target visiting this weekend and what fans should know about the offensive line class this cycle from reporter Ryan Snyder. Better or Worse? Finally, we'll end the show discussing the Penn State roster. The team was one drive away from the College Football National Championship game this January. With most of the team's talent returning, we'll ask a simple question. Is each position better or worse than it was in 2024? Today, we'll review the skill positions on offense to see where we think the program stands heading into the upcoming football season. #PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: https://bluewhiteonline.com Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Better Or Worse?

The team also made the final cutdown for several top targets in the 2026 cycle this week. We'll discuss those names and why the lists don't matter as much as another list Penn State needs to be on for those players. Finally, we'll end this section of the show by discussing where coaches have visited during the month of May. It's a contact period for the staff, meaning they can go out and visit players across the country and continue the relationship-building efforts to secure talent for the next chapter.

"As you guys know, we're not a big portal team, but you know, we're going to have to address some issues. So if there is a linebacker out there that wants to come and be a part of our program and play for LBU, the most historic linebacker program in the history of college football, there's an opportunity here to join the room and compete," he said. Less than a day later, the team set up visits from the top two linebackers in the transfer portal. On Tuesday, Campbell committed to the program shortly after his visit.

NCAA Lawsuit conclusion held up by roster limits We'll start with possibly the most impactful news on the program's upcoming season, which has nothing to do with the team. The House v. NCAA case settlement has hit a major roadblock with judge Claudia Wilken refusing to accept a hard cutoff of walk-on players this year and instead grandfathering players into a gradual limitation of the roster limits over the next several seasons. We'll discuss what that means for the Penn State roster and the players fighting for a spot on the team this spring and summer. Next, we'll discuss the team's NFL Draft prospects who will go in the first round of the Draft tonight.

Of course, this list isn't about the most important or biggest battles this spring. We're discussing the most interesting battles. We'll explain why they're intriguing and what they mean for our understanding of the team's 2025 scheme and roster. Of course, feel free to join the show and discuss the position battle you think is most interesting this spring if we don't bring it up on the show!

Not only does the program start spring football, but it hosts one of the most anticipated Pro Days in some time. Star pass rusher and potential number one overall pick Abdul Carter did not participate at the NFL Combine in February because of his playoff injury and is expected to participate in Friday's event. Beyond Carter, both Tyler Warren and KJ Winston, the team's top three prospects, didn't participate at the Combine for similar reasons. Who will go? Who will wow scouts? We're previewing the event today, focusing on those three players. Of course, they aren't the only players participating this week. We'll highlight three players with NFL potential who could move up draft boards with a strong day.

We'll put a bow on the story of Vilbert's surprise move to the portal and what it means for the team's defensive line depth. It's also a good time to review the spring transfer portal window timeline and what the team faces by practicing during the open period for players to put their names in for a transfer. How does Penn State take advantage of the opportunity to add players while not losing any to the chaos? Finally, we'll review the news from last week when the show was off for spring break. Four-star safety Kaden Gebhardt made a surprise decision to pick Clemson over Penn State after a spring visit down South. How big of a blow is that for the Nittany Lions? We'll discuss the fallout.
