The Penn State Nittany Lions' wide receiver woes continue as recruiting setbacks threaten to stall offensive progress, despite recent coaching changes and the arrival of Matt Campbell. With top target Khalil Taylor leaning toward Nebraska and previous commits Jamir Dean and Deshawn Hall lost, questions loom about whether Penn State's scheme or recruiting approach is to blame. Can standout receiver Landon Bloom and potential breakout star Koby Howard reverse the narrative and attract more elite talent through a more aggressive passing attack? Host Zach Seyko teams up with recruiting expert Brian Smith to spotlight quarterback recruiting wins, including a projected commitment from top 10 Pennsylvania quarterback James Armstrong, and discuss how the new NCAA 5-for-5 eligibility rule could give Penn State a competitive edge by building a deep and experienced roster with more players spending four and five years in the weight room. Will these developments reignite Penn State's recruiting momentum or is a cultural reset still needed to draw top-tier wide receiver talent to Happy Valley?

I just got back from Happy Valley 70.3 with 10 athletes on the course.And I've been thinking about what coaches can do RIGHT NOW, in mid to late June, that will pay off all the way through 2027.It's not a funnel. It's not a new offer. It's a team race.In this episode, I'm breaking down why picking a team race (and picking it early) might be the simplest retention move you're not making. We talk about how to choose the right one, when to announce it, how to use it to bring boomerang athletes back and the one thing that makes it a genuine business tool, not just a fun weekend.We also get into what happens when coaches try to do too many, why you probably shouldn't race your own team race and what I learned supporting 10 athletes on course for 24 hours straight.The community that builds around one shared race? You can't manufacture that. But you can create the conditions for it.The Recruitment Engine Masterclass is happening June 23rd and we're opening Content That Recruits for just a few days right after. It's a mid-level, live-taught course starting in July for coaches who want to learn how to do content that actually builds your roster. No matter where you are.

When an Adelaide podcast listener contacted me recently about a potential interview with Glynn Pretty, I couldn't get things under way quickly enough. In the 60's and 70's this man's reputation was as solid as any top jockey in the nation. He spent a lot of time out of Australia fulfilling contracts in Singapore and Hong Kong, but whenever back in Adelaide he promptly reminded owners and trainers why people like Bart Cummings were so lavish in their praise. A dreadful fall in Hong Kong in 1978 was expected to terminate his career. Six years later he made a comeback and rode 50 winners in a year before quitting for good.  Glynn put a lot back into racing following his official retirement, and at age 80 is still involved with the SA Racing Appeals Board. He's also enjoyed the thrill of horse ownership, especially an involvement with talented mare See You In Heaven. The daughter of Divine Prophet won six races for her ownership team, all at stakes level. We begin by talking about Glynn‘s love of the game of golf.  The former star jockey looks back on 15 years as President of the South Australian Jockey's Association. Glynn's very proud of the part he played in the establishment of the SA Jockeys Academy in conjunction with TAFE. He explains how it works and acknowledges some of the great riding talents to come under his tutelage. He looks back on his inclusion in a team appointed by Stereline in the 90's to visit the USA on a promotional tour. The goal was to showcase the starting gates and running rails manufactured by the company in Australia. While in America Glynn saw jockey's safety vests for the first time. He quickly floated the idea in Australia. He talks of his collaboration with the Australian Jockeys Association in introducing a better form of indemnity insurance for injured jockeys. Glynn talks of childhood days in Adelaide and his battle with asthma. He was actually allergic to horses. He talks of his original apprenticeship organised by his father Stan. Things went terribly wrong soon after he started at the Morphettville stables of Bob Burrows. Glynn says he left racing altogether for more than a year but later regenerated an apprenticeship with trainer Bert Kenny. The legendary Colin Hayes came into the equation at one stage. Pretty remembers his first ever race ride at Strathalbyn and the magic of his first win at Cheltenham. There was enormous sentiment attached to this win. He recalls the traumatic circumstances under which his father lost his life in a motor accident. We simply let Glynn reminisce about some of the better horses he got to ride early in his career. Galilee and Light Fingers make for a good start. Dayana also gets an honourable mention. He speaks fondly of Hampton's Pride, one of the most expensive yearlings sold in Australia in the 1960's. Glynn speaks of wins in the famous Adelaide double the Goodwood Hcp and Adelaide Cup. His wins came one year apart. He looks back on wins in races like the SA St Leger, Port Adelaide Cup and SA Oaks. Glynn  remembers his flying start the first time he took on a retainer in Singapore. He rode for just 9 months of the season but finished second in the premiership. He looks back on 4 consecutive years as Singapore's champion jockey. Glynn was stunned when awarded a rare honour after so little time in Singapore. He talks of wins in some of the jurisdiction's most important races. He says SA premierships were never on his radar because of the time he spent out of the country. He was however proud of a South Australian premiership after returning from Singapore  in the 1970/71 season. He talks of three amazing retainers he was forced to decline during his career. One of them came from the UK. Glynn  talks of the success he enjoyed in HK and his injury toll after the fateful 1978 accident at Happy Valley. He looks back on two other interesting feature wins in the early 70's- one in Queensland the other in Melbourne. Both winners were trained by Bart Cummings. Glynn never won a Melbourne Cup but says it could have been different had he been in the right place at the right time. He remembers a Singapore marriage to his late wife Gladys and the whereabouts of daughter Jodie and son Troy.  Glynn Pretty's reputation as one of the best jockeys of his generation was set in stone. Just ask any racing man who was around in the 60's and 70's. Great to have him on the podcast. Old timers will enjoy his recollections. Younger racing fans will be impressed by the merit of his achievements.

The connections between Hong Kong and Japan began far earlier than many realise. Yet only recently has Hong Kong's historic Japanese community received the attention it deserves through Meiji Graves in Happy Valley: Stories of Early Japanese Residents in Hong Kong (Hong Kong UP, 2024). In this compelling book, Dr Yoshiko Nakano and Georgina Challen guide readers into the Meiji era, reconstructing history through the lives of ordinary people whose stories have long been overlooked. During our interview, Yoshio explained her desire to place this research within a broader East-West framework, a cross-cultural perspective reflected in her own collaboration and long-term friendship with Georgina. Perhaps the book's most moving aspect is the authors' compassion for Kiya Saki, a karayuki-san (sex worker) from Nagasaki who migrated to Hong Kong and later died by suicide. Yoshiko and Georgina spoke movingly about discovering her story. Like Saki, both have experienced life far from home and understand the challenges of building a life as a sojourner. Her tragic fate inspired them to investigate the lives of early Japanese residents through the meticulous study of 470 graves in Happy Valley. Beyond individual tragedies, the book reveals a diaspora divided by deep social tensions. While the Meiji state sought to project the image of a modern, civilised nation, the Japanese community in Hong Kong was effectively a ‘community of two halves'. Elite business figures, including Mitsubishi managers, existed alongside marginalised karayuki-san and boarding-house operators. Yet from this division emerged a remarkable story of solidarity. Through institutions, wealthier members of the community funded healthcare, financial assistance, and dignified burials for those in need. Driven by the necessity of mutual support in a foreign colonial port, they transformed a fragmented group of migrants into a resilient and organised community. This dynamic resonates with Michel Foucault's concept of heterotopia, which views the cemetery as a counter-site where distinctions of class, gender, and status dissolve. The Meiji graves vividly illustrate this reality. In death, social divisions that shaped everyday life become impossible to conceal: the graves of marginalised karayuki-san lie alongside those of the community's elite. Together, they offer a unique window into a history shaped by colonialism, human trafficking, global trade, and Japan's transformation into a world power. Richly narrated and grounded in extensive archival research, Meiji Graves in Happy Valley fills an important gap in the histories of both Hong Kong and Japan. By recovering the experiences of ordinary migrants, merchants, workers and sojourners, it reveals the human stories behind larger processes of migration, empire, and modernisation, offering a fresh perspective on the intertwined histories of Hong Kong and Japan.

The connections between Hong Kong and Japan began far earlier than many realise. Yet only recently has Hong Kong's historic Japanese community received the attention it deserves through Meiji Graves in Happy Valley: Stories of Early Japanese Residents in Hong Kong (Hong Kong UP, 2024). In this compelling book, Dr Yoshiko Nakano and Georgina Challen guide readers into the Meiji era, reconstructing history through the lives of ordinary people whose stories have long been overlooked. During our interview, Yoshio explained her desire to place this research within a broader East-West framework, a cross-cultural perspective reflected in her own collaboration and long-term friendship with Georgina. Perhaps the book's most moving aspect is the authors' compassion for Kiya Saki, a karayuki-san (sex worker) from Nagasaki who migrated to Hong Kong and later died by suicide. Yoshiko and Georgina spoke movingly about discovering her story. Like Saki, both have experienced life far from home and understand the challenges of building a life as a sojourner. Her tragic fate inspired them to investigate the lives of early Japanese residents through the meticulous study of 470 graves in Happy Valley.

The Penn State Nittany Lions football faces a pivotal moment as multiple top cornerback recruits appear set to flip, testing Matt Campbell's impact in Happy Valley. Can Penn State's evolving blue chip ratio and Campbell's Midwest connections keep them in the national mix, or will powerhouses like Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee poach their prized prospects? The conversation focused on Penn State's recruiting rollercoaster, the challenges of competing for top-100 talent outside traditional territories, and the optics of potential wide receiver commitments. A key theme that emerged was the importance of backup recruiting plans and relationship-building with elite prospects like Khalil Taylor, Deshawn Hall, Case Alexander, and Jamir Dean. The discussion explored whether Penn State can exceed expectations despite a 25% drop in blue-chip talent, the significance of retaining core staff, and fan patience as Campbell builds for future playoff contention.

A case for 10+ wins despite a thin receiver room and a dead-last SEC pass rushTexas – Arch Manning's full-season upside, Cam Coleman's massive portal impact, Will Muschamp's aggressive new defense, and a 12-0 ceiling that's hard to ignoreThese are five of the most fascinating rosters in college football, and every single one has a real flaw hiding behind the hype.

Alex proves to be a whiz when it comes to duct tape. And meanwhile, on Titan, there’s some navigating, scanning, and maybe an amazing discovery or perhaps a catastrophic accident? It’s “For All Mankind,” it could really be either one. Dan Moren and Jason Snell.
