Anyone who loves basketball in the Pittsburgh area knows T.J. McConnell's family name. Whether it's his father Tim, who racked up 662 wins at Chartiers Valley, his aunt Suzie who played in two Olympics and was WNBA Coach of the Year, or another aunt and uncle who've coached at the college level, the McConnells are legendary in Pennsylvania hoops. So it's no surprise that T.J.'s ended up on the court at a young age.But as a 5-foot-5 freshman, there didn't seem to be a path to a major college, let alone the NBA. However, T.J.'s tenaciousness earned him a scholarship from Duquesne and growing to 6-foot-1 helped him average 34 points a game as a senior. After two solid college seasons, T.J. made the difficult decision to transfer from Duquesne and play for Sean Miller at Arizona. He redshirted and then helped the Wildcats reach the Elite Eight in his junior and senior years. Though he went undrafted, T.J. got an invite to the Sixers' summer league team and his relentless work ethic earned him a roster spot. He has since set an NBA record with nine steals in a game and now plays point guard for the Indiana Pacers.  Listen up as T.J. dishes on:·       What his dad taught him about basketball, hard work, and life·       Why he transferred to the University of Arizona and how it forced him to level up·       How he had to scratch, claw, and give 110% to make the cut with the Philadelphia 76ers·       Why he still tells himself that that the moment he relaxes is the moment he's done in the NBA·       Where his commitment to be a pest on defense comes from and what he learned from JJ RedickFollow T.J.'s push to the playoffs with the Pacers and his passion for wine and coffee on his Instagram feed @tjmcconnell.

Penn State recruiting isn't just coaches convincing players to join a program. Some of the team's best recruiters are the players already committed to a class. For the Class of 2023, one of those recruiters is cornerback Lamont Payne. The three-star defensive back from Chartiers Valley in Bridgeville, PA, sat down with film analyst and host of the BWI Daily Edition, Thomas Frank Carr. They discussed Lamont's offseason progress, playing hurt in 2023, and who he is pushing to get a commitment from among Penn State's 2023 targets. Payne Focused on Football T-Frank begins with getting up-to-speed with where Payne is right now in his offseason progress. The Pittsburgh native doesn't play basketball, so he's focused on improving his game, getting bigger, and prepping for track season. First, he updates T-Frank on how much muscle he's put on this winter and on what parts of his game he's focused on improving. They also discuss Payne's play from the 2021 season. T-Frank comments that one of the rising senior's best traits is his physicality at the line of scrimmage. Is that why Payne is adding the weight? What led to him playing that way. Payne gives excellent insight into what he knows about his strengths and why he plays the way he does. Then, he talks about the college and NFL corners he watches to improve his play. Penn State recruiting in 2023, not just for coaches After that, T-Frank asks Payne what he thinks about his classmates and the group of players that the Penn State coaches have assembled so far. Where does he see the strength of the class? Who is he recruiting on the defensive side of the ball? Payne gives his thoughts on the subject and names several key defensive targets, including four-star linebackers Ta'Mere Robinson and Tony Rojas, along with several other players in the Pittsburgh and Virginia areas. Finally, they go deeper into Payne's game. After suffering an injury early in the year, it wasn't an easy season for Payne. So how did he overcome the situation? First, he talks about the injury and then what toughness means to him as a football player. T-Frank gives more observations about Payne's playing style and usage at Chartier's Valley. What does he learn from playing slot receiver that can help him as a defensive back? Payne opens up about that and what he thinks the key is to his ability to make plays on the ball. #PennState #NittanyLions JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annual SUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmation Bookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/ Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: http://bluewhiteonline.com Download our podcasts: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/LRL3155877513?selected=DSVV2664982394 Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/ Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3 Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com Learn more about your ad choices.

Final hour of the show starts with us keeping the Penguin talk rolling. Crowley gives us a break from the Kessel Kessel Kessel though by telling us another player that he has his sights on during this offseason. JuJu went to Chartiers Valley's (I think) prom because a student there asked him too and although the pundits around town are using this to push their crusty anti fun anti JuJu agenda, we tell you why it's bleeping bad ass for him to give these kids a once in a lifetime experience. Hottest take of the day, other crap, and the three stars of the show.
