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. Find out where he ranks the program and how many All-Americans he expects the team to produce this fall. To do that, the team will need to be elite on both sides of the football. 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. Reporter Greg Pickel will give his thoughts on Steele's analysis and then give you his thoughts on those ideas. You can play along in the chat by playing Buy or Sell with us! We'll read the best answers live on air. Between the LinesIt's now a summertime tradition for the Penn State coaching staff to sit down with the media at the start of June to discuss the offseason topics on the minds of fans and the media. Today, we'll dive deeper into those conversations in Between the Lines. We'll review Penn State head coach James Franklin's comments on why Ta'Mere Robinson left the program. You'll also hear what differences the linebacker room faces, according to Jim Knowles. Finally, Andy Kotelnicki will give his scouting report on Trebor Pena and what he thinks the differences will be in his offense now that the team is in its second year under his direction.

We'll show you the cover art featuring Nick Singleton and Penn State head coach James Franklin and discuss it. In more real-world news, the Athletic put out kick-time predictions for the first three games of the 2025 season. We'll discuss the potential impact of those games on the team's opening schedule and exposure against Nevada, FIU, and Villanova. Buy or SellWill Zakee Wheatly lead the Penn State defense in tackles? Can Singleton and teammate Kaytron Allen combine for over 2,500 rushing yards? We're playing Buy or Sell on today's show to discuss what we expect from the team's offensive and defensive output this year. We'll highlight areas where we believe the team will produce significant statistical outputs and others where we anticipate the team may fall behind. Keystone Players Football is a game built on the collective efforts of 11 individuals working together. Yet, not every job or position on the field is as critical as the next. So, we're not asking which players are the best or will put out the most stats this coming year; we're discussing which players are the most irreplaceable on the team.

Things Discussed: Michigan vs Georgia recruitments revisited: things have definitely changed. We had to move heaven and Earth to get Will Johnson and that was a legacy. Sam shares a story that Harbaugh promised he was gonna be here and that got Will to pump the breaks on a USC-Ohio State decision. Remembering DJ Turner's recruitment. Yaxel? Is doing well at the combine. Think Michigan visit changed his mindset from "Michigan has to match" to "NBA has to match," but there's a very good chance that happens. Difference between early 2nd round and late 1st round isn't just money but end of the 1st round is where you find the best organizations, whereas early 2nd round could mean going to Phoenix. If a team promises they'll draft him in the late 1st he's gotta take it. If Yaxel comes: Big Ten PoY? In the conversation. Wolf-/Tonje-level impact. Forest view: plan on this happening every year, because one player can put you over the top and one way to get that one player is to get the best player in the country who's not in the NBA Draft. Speaking of best player in the country who's not in his draft…there's a LOT of positivity inside Michigan about Gavin McKenna. What does Gavin McKenna mean, non-hockey fans? He's the consensus #1 player in the Draft and in that tier with Connor McDavid, Eric Lindros, Mario Lemieux and Alexander Ovechkin where the franchise that gets him is instantly the team with that guy (Only tier higher than that is Crosby, Gretzky). Why is McKenna going to college? These guys used to play Canadian juniors, but that's a long season in a small town for money that Michigan could match, and for a player who's already guaranteed to be a top-5 pick there's no reason to slog through that when the Big Ten these days has higher competition. The example here is John Tavares, who was the CHL rookie of the year in 2005-06 and player of the year in 2006-07, and was the obvious #1 pick in the 2008 Draft then had to go back to the CHL for another year to no purpose. College gives that guy a step up in competition, a year in Ann Arbor instead of Oshawa, and the connections and future you get from association with a university. For us, that would make Michigan a focus of the hockey world for a year, and the rest of McKenna's career they'd be like "guy from Michigan." Meta discussion on last week's episode and politics based on the (overwhelmingly positive) responses we got from last week: We aren't planning to talk about partisan and identity politics that much going forward—there are certain instances when it's topical and we can't ignore it (e.g. Ono's departure), but mostly we choose to talk about ideas and values, and when they're not politicized nobody notices the politics. Penn State > Ohio State this year? We don't believe in Drew Allar. Ohio State's culture is clearly working for them.

The 2025 NFL Draft is soooooo last month, so Fran Duffy is here for the temporary finale of the PHLY Draft Show with Fran Duffy as he spins things forward to next offseason when a slew of intriguing quarterbacks could go in the first round, with Garrett Nussmeier, LaNorris Sellers, Drew Allar and Cade Klubnik among them, not to mention the intrigue surrounding Arch Manning. And yet it's not a quarterback who tops Fran's early 2026 NFL Mock Draft. Find out who does as we bid draft season adieu.
Why are we all automatically sold on Arch Manning? He's barely played at Texas and he's already touted as the 1st overall pick in either the 2026 or 2027 NFL Draft. If we aren't sold on Drew Allar, why are we on a guy that has played a tenth of the time? Is he getting the benefit of his last name? The guys pointed out how Quinn Ewers held off Manning in the Texas QB battle last season then was the final QB drafted last month.

Hour 2 with Joe Starkey: Ray thinks Drew Allar needs to be more consistent and productive for Penn State. Will the Steelers regret the George Pickens trade? It's not a foregone conclusion Aaron Rodgers will be here, but a very good chance. Mike Florio told The PM Team that the 49ers would be fine dumping Brandon Aiyuk on the Steelers. A 16-team College Football Playoff is "gaining support" in the SEC and Big Ten.
Ray thinks Drew Allar needs to be more consistent and productive for Penn State. Will the Steelers regret the George Pickens trade? Ray still thinks trading him was the right decision and both sides didn't really want to work with each other. Jaylen Warren is still the starter but we could see close to a 50/50 split between him and Kaleb Johnson later in the season.
Ohio State's 2025 schedule is filled with opponents featuring quality options at quarterback so Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis used this episode of Buckeye Talk to break them all down.

Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern. Should GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin consider dealing star pass rusher T.J. Watt following the George Pickens trade to the Dallas Cowboys? Does it make sense to continue bolstering their NFL draft capital with an eye toward selecting from the loaded 2026 QB class that includes Arch Manning, Drew Allar, Nico Iamaleava and LaNorris Sellers? Or is Watt still worth extending into his 30s as a leader of a team that hopes to be competing for playoff wins? Paul tackles those topics, then weighs in on the Pirates after they announced Thursday that they'd fired manager Derek Shelton and replaced him with bench coach Don Kelly.
Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to a busy week of Pittsburgh sports news. Are GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin signaling an intention to punt on the 2025 season after trading George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys? And allowing names like Najee Harris, Russell Wilson and Justin Fields to leave via NFL free agency in exchange for compensatory picks for the 2026 NFL draft? Or are they still serious about winning if they're keeping T.J. Watt in Pittsburgh and pursuing QB Aaron Rodgers on the open market? And how smart would it be to position for 2026 and its loaded QB class that includes names like Arch Manning, Drew Allar, Nico Iamaleava and LaNorris Sellers? Our duo tackles those questions, then talks Penguins and Penn State football. Should GM Kyle Dubas regret the team's winning ways to end the season? Which resulted in the 11th overall pick in the upcoming NHL draft? Who are the candidates Jason is mostly looking toward to replace Mike Sullivan as coach? And did Nittany Lions coach James Franklin accomplish what he needed to in the transfer portal this offseason? Adding names like Syracuse WR Trebor Pena and North Carolina linebacker Amare Campbell to a team that hopes to compete for a College Football Playoff national title?
Hour 3 with Joe Starkey: Garrett thinks the George Pickens trade is a no-lose situation for Dallas and if they let him walk will get a comp pick. Garrett thinks Drew Allar is better than Will Howard. Pirates fire manager Derek Shelton after 5+ seasons. We think it's the right move and Joe thought a move could happen today. Shelton has the third worst winning percentage in baseball history by a manager with over 700 games.
Garrett thinks the George Pickens trade is a no-lose situation for Dallas and if they let him walk will get a comp pick. Garrett thinks Drew Allar is better than Will Howard. Garrett says a lot of people think Arch Manning will be a multi-year starter at Texas. Allar could be the top quarterback in the class. If the Steelers sign Aaron Rodgers, they would be off Garrett's top 10 worst QB rooms.
Today, with an off day, seems like the right time to move on from Ben Cherington and Derek Shelton on an off day. Joe believes the owner is far and away to blame. That doesn't mean Cherington gets a free pass from figuring this out. Poni joins us to decide if Austin was right to argue with Bob about Will Howard and Drew Allar.
Today on the Logan Blackman Show we take a look at the projected over/unders for each NFL team this coming season, going over why teams could win more or less games than they're projected and what factors could lead to them going either way. We then take a look back at our 2022 quarterback prospect rankings that were posted exactly four years ago today, going over how good or bad the players ended up being while also talking about where we went right or wrong with the rankings. With that we reveal our officially official insanely early quarterback prospect rankings for the 2026 NFL Draft before discussing the top five dual threat quarterbacks of all time and finally making fun of some current NFL quarterback rankings we found on social media. Enjoy!
Post-Gazette sports columnist Paul Zeise reacts to the day in Pittsburgh sports news live around 5 p.m. Eastern, primarily the Steelers' decision to trade George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys in exchange for a third-round pick in next year's NFL draft. How does this move fit into a confusing offseason so far, one that's included big additions in DK Metcalf, Kenneth Gainwell and Darius Slay Jr; big subtractions in the form of Najee Harris, Russell Wilson and Justin Fields; plus a protracted pursuit of quarterback Aaron Rodgers? Are general manager Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin serious about competing this year? Or are they looking toward the 2026 NFL draft, in which they now have a basket of picks to pursue a quarterback like Arch Manning, Drew Allar, Nico Iamaleava and LaNorris Sellers? Paul tackles those questions and more on the football front, then talks Pirates and manager Derek Shelton's future after another series loss vs. the St. Louis Cardinals.
On the Wednesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by Edgar Snyder & Associates, Post-Gazette Steelers insiders Christopher Carter and Ray Fittipaldo react to the team's decision to trade WR George Pickens to the Dallas Cowboys. Why would GM Omar Khan and coach Mike Tomlin make this move now? After the NFL draft? If they thought they might trade Pickens, why didn't they draft a starter-quality receiver to pair with DK Metcalf? Could the team still sign a free agent like Keenan Allen or Amari Cooper? And could internal options like Calvin Austin III, Robert Woods and Roman Wilson step up? Our duo tackles those questions and more beyond the receivers room. How might the deal impact the team's pursuit of Aaron Rodgers in NFL free agency? And is the team clearly signaling an interest in acquiring a QB in the deep 2026 draft, the could include names such as Arch Manning, Drew Allar, Nico Iamaleava and LaNorris Sellers?

Penn State lands Campbell in the portalPenn State head coach James Franklin made it obvious that his team was looking for help in the portal after the Blue-White Game at the end of April. "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. Today, we'll discuss how he performed at North Carolina, his fit with Penn State, and his addition to the team's outlook for the upcoming season. Finally, we'll look at the complete portal picture, including transfers out of the program this offseason. Penn State game wreckersThe team has made it clear that it won't settle until it feels like its weaknesses are addressed, but what about its strengths? How many "game wreckers" does Penn State have on its roster? We're bringing this discussion from the BWI Message board to the show.

How concerned are you about Roman Wilson? Bob and Austin and Bob both would have drafted a wide receiver. An epic debate between Bob and Austin begins over Will Howard vs. Drew Allar. Bob thinks Howard is better than Allar and would rather have him. Austin is an Allar supporter. Joe thinks there is a little Steelers bias with Howard.
Hour 4 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: - Joe thinks the Steelers didn't trust George Pickens and he likes the trade. Bob thought Pickens would have been extremely motivated this season to be better this season and is still not ruling that out in Dallas. Without Aaron Rodgers and George Pickens, how do you assess the Steelers? Bob would rather have Will Howard over Drew Allar.
Hour 2 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Bob and Austin and Bob both would have drafted a wide receiver. What does it say that the Steelers couldn't get a 2nd round pick for Pickens?

Today on the Logan Blackman Show we recap everything that went down throughout the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, comparing what actually happened to what we predicted in Mock Draft 4.0. We then go over where each and every quarterback went throughout the draft, going over fits while also discussing which quarterbacks could see playing time earlier than others. With that we discuss Shedeur Sanders falling down the draft board, going pick 144 to the Cleveland Browns. We go over whether we were surprised or not by him sliding down the board as well as discuss whether or not he could eventually become the starter in Cleveland. We then take a look at next year's draft class and discuss who could be in the running for the top spot while also going over why Penn State's Drew Allar and LSU's Garrett Nussmeier are our two favorite prospects at this point in time. Finally, we discuss who could be next year's 'sleeper quarterback,' going from a potential late round pick to a first round pick. Enjoy!
Post-Gazette sports columnist Jason Mackey joins host Adam Bittner to react to a busy week in Pittsburgh sports news. How much pressure is on Steelers coach Mike Tomlin following the firing of the Penguins' Mike Sullivan? Will he face expectations to win in 2025, after GM Omar Khan decided to keep names like George Pickens and T.J. Watt rather than trade them for future draft capital? And amid the likely signing of veteran Aaron Rodgers? Or will get get a chance to coach the team in 2026, when it holds 10 draft picks and may be able to seek its QB of the future, with names like Arch Manning, Drew Allar, LaNorris Sellers and Nico Iamaleava likely coming out of the college ranks? Later, the guys tackle the Penguins' new direction without Sullivan. What changed for GM Kyle Dubas between last year and this year, given the reality that expectations for 2024-25 were low? Could a new coach jolt the team like Dan Bylsma did in 2009 or Sullivan did in 2016 to spark Stanley Cup runs from Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang? How much runway does Kyle Dubas have to turn the Penguins into contenders? And is the perception of Sidney Crosby's involvement in front office moves fit reality? Then in the third segment, airing on the PG's Pirates YouTube channel, our duo analyzes the continued lack of results in the win-loss column despite some improvement offensively. Is this just a bad team, even if it continues to show some improvement? What does that mean for GM Ben Cherington and manager Derek Shelton in owner Bob Nutting's eyes? Is Enmanuel Valdez a useful player? Or only looking good by comparison? And how will things shake out in the rotation with Bubba Chandler becoming hard to deny in the minors, Jared Jones on the mend and Carmen Mlodzinski still struggling after the first time through opposing batting orders?

The team sent five players to the NFL via the draft over the three-day weekend and many more found homes as undrafted free agents. Next, we'll dive into our thoughts on the Blue-White Game. We did our instant analysis on Saturday after the game, but we'll dig deeper into our notebooks to give a more comprehensive conversation about the game and our thoughts about Penn State's progress through spring football. Reporters Nate Bauer and Sean Fitz were on hand to see the game, and we'll relate our experience to fans who didn't get a chance to see the game. Also, we've been running a contest for new subscribers to the YouTube channel over the last month. Today, we're revealing the five winners who will get a subscription to the site for signing up during the last 30 days. Transfer portal recapHours before the Blue-White Game, Penn State football got a shot in the arm of positive news. Syracuse wide receiver Trebor Pena committed to the program after skipping a visit with Miami. The team addressed a major need in the portal with one of the best players available. We'll discuss how he fits into the lineup and what his presence means for the team's passing attack. Next, we'll discuss Penn State head coach James Franklin's comments from Saturday about the team's need for a linebacker in the portal. We'll recap the news from Sunday that the staff is aggressively pursuing options in the portal, which is now closed.

Is it all being set up for the Steelers to draft Drew Allar in the 2026 NFL Draft? If that does happen, how do we feel about it? It doesn't even seem like Penn State fans would love it. Does that perfect the plan set out by Pittsburgh? This past draft was the first one in roughly 30 years that did not see a WPIAL player get selected? Pirates pre-post game host Dan Zangrilli joined the show. After a brief discussion about baseball card collecting, we got into the Buccos. The guys asked why Carmen Mlodzinski doesn't get moved to the bullpen where he is likely a better option. Dan suggested Bubba Chandler could be up here soon, around the same time Paul Skenes debuted in 2024. Dan thinks Chandler is right there, and maybe better than, Jared Jones, with a better body type. Dan weighed in on the man versus gorilla debate, and which former Pirates could stack up in a fight.
