We'll discuss the importance of having a player at the event and what it means for Huhn, who is Penn State's representative this year in a two QB class. Does Huhn need to win the event for it to be a successful year for Penn State? We'll discuss the event's history and how it found quarterback talent through the years. Next, we'll discuss what Penn State linebackers coach Dan Connor said about recent transfer Amare Campbell. Pickel wrote about the team's acquisition in the transfer portal and what drew Connor to him out of North Carolina. We'll discuss how he fits with the program and what Connor had to say about the room. Finally, we'll discuss Penn State's hunt for more talent this summer.

The team was on the doorstep of the 2024 College Football National Championship game a few months ago. Now the team is loading up at key positions in the transfer portal this spring. Today on the BWI Live Show, we discuss the team's latest addition, former North Carolina linebacker Amare Campbell. We'll discuss the team's progress in the portal this spring, and its roster now that the team has addressed all of its public-facing needs after spring football. Join the show live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to discuss the latest news, plus more topics coming up on the show! The best way to know when we go live is to subscribe to the BWI YouTube channel and enable notifications. 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. We'll discuss how many bona fide threats the team has on offense and defense, and discuss which players could make that leap this year. Sunday "film' StudyFinally, we'll wrap up with a final look back at the Blue-White Game. What did we learn about the team's plans for the upcoming season? We'll discuss the biggest schematic clues that the team showed during the game. Penn State Lands TOP Linebacker In Transfer Portal | Who is a PSU Game Wrecker?#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

While practice is over, the team's preparations for pursuing a College Football National Championship is nowhere near complete.

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. Finally, we'll recap the latest recruiting news, including a weekend commitment and recruits visiting campus for the Blue-White Game. Penn State Blue-White Game Recap | Will Team Add MORE Talent In The Portal?#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

With such an abridged offseason, what are reporters Sean Fitz and Nate Bauer looking for when they get to see the Penn State players up close? We'll preview our conversation with strength and conditioning coach Chuck Losey as well. Fitz and Bauer didn't get a chance to discuss the addition of Trace McSorley to the staff last week, so we'll discuss what they take from the news that McSorley is joining the program as an assistant QB coach. We'll also wrap up the 2025 NFL Combine and the results from Jaylen Reed's performance this past weekend. Fitz's Recruiting updateThe biggest piece of news from the program this week was that three-star Indiana wide receiver Jerquaden Guilford decommitted from the program over the weekend. While Guilford doesn't have the stars, he's a favorite among the recruiting industry with offers from all the top programs in the country. How big of a blow is it to Penn State's efforts to rebuild its wide receiver room? Fitz will discuss what he thinks of the news and how concerned fans should be. Also, spring visits are back up and running this month, so Fitz will discuss the news you need to know about who is visiting the program this month. BWI MailbagFinally, we'll get to the star of the show: you!

In this message we consider the issue arising amongst the Corinthians about whether to eat meat which had been offered to idols in the pagan temples, but which was really about what they were to do with their newfound freedom in Christ. We consider the key differences between Love's Freedom and the world's freedom, and the implications for how we live out God's Kingdom culture in this present age, to a watching world waiting for God's children to be revealed (Ro 8:19).

Coming in at #24 is the Joya de Nicaragua Numero Uno Le Premier. One certainly can make the point that Joya de Nicaragua's Numero Uno has become one of the most decorated brands in the company's 50 plus year history. The story of this blend is well-documented. Numero Uno is a project that started out as a private blend where it was handed out to Nicaraguan ambassadors who would gift them to world leaders. It later became a Joya de Nicaragua event-only cigar called Joya de Nicaragua No. 1 – which was a 6 5/8 x 44 Lonsdale. In 2018, that event-only cigar was named the #1 Cigar of the Year on Halfwheel. It was a shocking selection considering the cigar was designated only for events. Following that honor, Joya de Nicaragua decided to rebrand the Joya de Nicaragua No. 1 to Joya de Nicaragua Numero Uno. In 2019, a second size was released known as the Le Premier - a near-Churchill sized offering of the brand. It's the Numero Uno Le Premier that lands on this year's Countdown. The blend for Numero Uno features an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and fillers. When the original Lonsdale size was created, the blend itself was described as an offshoot of the Joya de Nicaragua Clasico, but still different than the Clasico. Le Premier measures 6 7/8 x 48. Numero Uno is an ongoing production, but one done on a more limited basis. Flavor-wise, the Joya de Nicaragua Numero Uno will give you notes of cream, earth, wood, black pepper, nut, and a signature lemon-citrus note that sets this cigar apart. While the Lonsdale (known as L'Ambassadeur) certainly got a lot of accolades; don't overlook the Le Premier as it actually is the better size. It's also one of the better Connecticut Shade cigars in the near Churchill fort as I have struggled to find high-performing Connecticut Shade cigars in that format. The Joya de Nicaragua Numero Uno marks the fifth year that Joya de Nicaragua has landed on the Cigar Coop Countdown. It is also the third Nicaraguan cigar that has landed on the Countdown as we continue to count up.

Some amazing combine workouts to talk about including Tristan Wirfs and Mekhi Becton. Guys this big should not be moving like that. LOL. Players likely to be franchise tagged in the NFL... Broncos acquire AJ Bouye from Jags for a 4th rd pick. Lots of homegrown Jags players want out in a troubling trend, yet Doug Marrone and GM David Caldwell are retained, so what exactly are they doing? Rams are in a tough spot with their cap situation and their mortgaged future. Could TE Austin Hooper end up in Green Bay? Nick Saban uses a staffing lose to get better with strength and conditioning. Kirby poaches Saban's staff, but did that allow the Tide to get better? Florida Gators bring in Tim Brewster, who is a recruiting master...Is LSU turning into a LBU in addition to DBU? Kwon Alexander, Deion Jones, Devin White, Patrick Queen, and Jacob Phillips are all LBs that are or will be playing on Sundays... XFL viewship numbers dip down again slightly. Landry Jones re-aggravates his knee injury. This may be a blessing in disguise as Landry has been an INT machine. Vipers pick up their first win. DC Defenders are reeling...Hal Mumme breaks a leg and keeps on coaching through the game! That's Texas football tough!

The moment Jesse Luketa stepped foot in the United States he knew Penn State was the only option. Hear about the linebackers journey to Happy Valley, how a simple phrase has caught steam and much more.
