 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

More to come? 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. Join the show live at 10 a.m. on YouTube! #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

On today's BWI Live Show, we'll discuss the latest news on revenue sharing, Penn State's deal, or lack thereof, with private capital, plus the latest Penn State football and recruiting news. Join the BWI Live Show at 10 a.m. on YouTube to be part of the conversation.

That way, you'll receive alerts when we post breaking news or go live. Penn State News update There was plenty of news that dropped after our final show on Thursday of last week. Today, we'll cover the biggest Penn State football news that's happened since then. Firstly, we'll discuss the report that Penn State and UCLA were the first two athletic departments to take on private equity from Elevate's College Investment Initiative. However, Penn State athletic director Pat Kraft quickly released a statement denying those reports, as did UCLA's athletic department. We'll discuss the situation to start the show. Next, we'll dig into the news that redshirt freshman Max Granville suffered a long-term injury after spring practice. Reporters Sean Fitz and Nate Bauer will discuss the impact on the defensive end position and where that leaves Penn State's pass-rushing unit. NCAA Settlement ushers in new era of college footballNext, the college sports world learned over the weekend that Judge Claudia Wilkins signed off on the House v. NCAA settlement agreement. The agreement sets into motion a new framework for college sports where the program can directly pay athletes. Does this mean the end of NIL? What does this mean for walk-on players? We'll discuss the most pressing questions for fans during the show. Fitz's recruiting update and Between the Lines Finally, we'll end the show by getting into some real football topics. Penn State hosted a massive contingent of offensive and defensive line prospects this weekend, including some of the top remaining players in the Class of 2026. How did the team do in convincing those players that Penn State is the place to be? 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. Lastly, we'll rewind the clock to last Thursday at noon when Penn State head coach James Franklin sat down (literally) with the media to discuss the state of the team in June. We'll review three of his comments during our series Between the Lines. Join the show today to be part of the action! We're live at 10, and you can catch the replays on the channel, here in this article, or 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

The team hosted its current commitments in the Class of 2026 last weekend, tying up loose ends and bringing the class together for a celebratory weekend. Now, the team will host one of its most important weekends of the summer, with most of its top defensive line targets and several top players at other positions coming to Happy Valley en mass on Friday. We'll discuss that, break down Joey O'Brien's final four schools, and recap the past weekend's camps. Join the BWI Live show for a special 9 a.m. start time today.

Multiple targets at the top of their positions will visit, including Carter Meadows and Luke Wafle at defensive end, Damari Simeon and Titan Davis at defensive tackle, and Grayson McKeogh at offensive tackle. We'll discuss how critical it is for Penn State to land a number of the players visiting this weekend, especially considering this group comprises mostly trench players, which is where the Class of 2026 has its most remaining spots. Reporters Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz will break down the visitors and we'll show you highlights of the team's top targets visiting this weekend. Wrapping up last weekend's biggest events Of course, last weekend was also crucial to the program's current and future success.

Several high-profile players chose to return for their senior seasons, seeking the chance to win a national title and enhance their draft stock. But which players on the team are absolutely critical to the team's success this year? We're naming the team's "Keystone Players" on which the season's hopes hinge. We'll also preview the upcoming season by playing Buy or Sell and answer your questions in the BWI Mailbag! Join the BWI Live Show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube or catch the replay any time. You can also catch the show wherever you get your podcasts. Penn State news We'll start the show with a quick Penn State football news segment. The new cover for College Football '26 was released this week, and the team is featured on the cover. 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. Today, we'll outline the Keystone players on defense, without whom the team's defensive plan may fall apart. BWI MailbagFinally, we open the show's last segment to you!

Reports this weekend say that Fleming was in an ATV accident. From the original report:“In a release, troopers say before 8:15 p.m., authorities were called to Painter Lick Lane in Columbia Township Friday night after an ATV crash. State police explain that the ATV was traveling Northbound on Painter Lick Lane when it struck a deer that jumped out into the roadway.”We'll discuss the situation. In less sober news, we'll move on to today's main topic. Penn State is now a favorite topic of conversation for national media. Some of the compliments and criticism are fair for the 2025 squad. Some are not. Reporter Nate Bauer broke down what he saw as the facts and the fiction behind the hype for the program this offseason. We'll discuss his recent article on today's show. Fitz's Recruiting Update It was a big weekend in New Jersey for top prospects in the Northeast on Saturday. The Under Armour camp circuit came through the region, attracting top talent from Penn State's recruiting footprint, especially on the offensive and defensive line. We'll discuss what recruiting reporter Sean Fitz saw this weekend from players like offensive line commits Roseby Lubintus and Layton von Brandt, as well as top prospects like Jackson Vaughn and Maxwell Hiller. It's also another important weekend for the Class of 2026 coming up on Friday. We'll have another official visit preview on Fitz's Recruiting Update. Better or Worse? One of the narratives we'll discuss earlier in today's show is about the Penn State defense. There's a feeling that unit can be better this year under new defensive coordinator Jim Knowles. We'll dive deeper into that topic today in our summer series Better or Worse? We'll examine the front seven to see if the defensive ends, linebackers, and defensive tackles can be better than they were in 2024. Have a question?

Not only does the 2025 NFL Draft kick off tonight in Green Bay, but the team concluded its final open media session on Wednesday night. With the Blue-White Game this weekend, the team's visibility on the college football and national radar is high. We're covering all of that today on the BWI Live Recruiting Show. Join the show today at 10 a.m. on YouTube to discuss the team's progress as they exit camp, the Draft, and of course, recruiting. The team hosted players yesterday and will host more over the next few days, culminating in the Blue-White Game on Saturday. We'll cover the names you need to know who are visiting the program this weekend. 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. We'll take a recruiting angle on the conversation, discussing the value of having two first-round picks: Abdul Carter and Tyler Warren. Penn State practice recapOf course, the team held open practice last night, so we'll recap what we saw and heard on Wednesday night. What did Penn State head coach James Franklin say about the format for the game? We'll review that, show you highlights from practice, and more! Penn State recruiting visits and conversationsThe team will hold four practices this week, including the Blue-White Game on Saturday. How has the team done at getting prospects on campus? It's the final push before the May evaluation period leading into official visits at the end of the month. Can the team push a few more commitments across the line this weekend? Recruiting reporters Sean Fitz and Ryan Snyder will discuss the upcoming names for the Blue-White Game, plus detail conversations they've had over the last week with recruits, parents, and coaches.  #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 Practice Recap and Blue-White Recruiting Preview
