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.

We'll give you the latest information on the four-star prospect and what the news could mean for Penn State. Official visit previewOf course, the most critical news this week is that Penn State hosts its most star-studded lineup of the official visit season. While they've hosted top talent and players critical to this cycle's success, no weekend has as many as June 6-8. 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. Snyder went to the Under Armour camp in Baltimore and will give his report on what he saw and who stood out during the event.

Is this a boost for Penn State recruiting? Or just another fun achievement for Nittany Lions fans to celebrate? Fitz's Recruiting UdpateThe next phase of Penn State recruiting began in earnest over the weekend. The team hosted its 2025 signing class on Friday and Saturday followed by its first camp of the summer to evaluate prospects for coming cycles. However, most of the focus this weekend was on one 2026 athlete trying to prove he belonged in the current class. Detroit offensive lineman Ben Eziuka camped with the program to prove that he'd improved from last offseason. How did that go? We tracked his progress and performance throughout the afternoon and Fitz will discuss what he thinks on today's recruiting update. We will also highlight the rest of the offensive line, thanks to our tracking of the group through the afternoon. Finally, we'll preview the upcoming official visit weekend, which is stocked with elite talent. Is this Penn State's most important recruiting weekend of the official visit calendar?

PennLive's Johnny McGonigal and Bob Flounders discuss Dan Connor's journey back to Penn State as a defensive coach. Connor, PSU's all-time leading tackler as a linebacker, is now back in State College coaching the position for James Franklin.  Oregon playing PSU in a prime-time White Out game? Bob argues it could have been worse. The Ducks, a West Coast team, could have been forced to play the game at noon, which would have essentially been a 9 a.m. kickoff for them.

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.

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.

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.

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?

The Nittany Lions have an elite start to the next cycle, according to the latest On300 rankings for the juniors-to-be. Snyder and Fitz discuss where commits Khalil Taylor, Kemon Spell, and Layton von Brandt rank in the updated list, which dropped this week. Snyder will also detail where Pennsylvania stacks up in the national recruiting scene for the next cycle. Penn State is also waiting on a decision today from three-star cornerback Jaziel Hart. The Virginia native will announce his commitment from a final five of Notre Dame, Michigan, Tennessee, Virginia Tech, and Penn State. Our reporters will tell you which way the wind is blowing before the final announcement. There are also several other defensive targets narrowing in on various decisions, which we'll recap. Who are top defensive tackle Damari Simeon's top schools?

Several Penn State commits competed in the passing challenge and the All-22 camp before the quarterbacks took over.

This week, Monika tackles a controversial question that might land her in hot water with many women: is a luxury bag truly an investment? From silk saris to high-end handbags, these purchases are often labeled as financial assets. But Monika breaks down what qualifies as an actual investment and whether these luxury items really fit the bill—or if they're simply expensive indulgences. With her trademark clarity and humor, she walks through the difference between collectibles and income- or profit-generating assets.Next, Monika explains the term GDP—Gross Domestic Product—a phrase that's often used but rarely understood in everyday life. What does it really measure? Why is it important? And how does it affect us? She gives a clear and relatable overview, showing how the value of everything produced within a country tells us about its economic health. With a breakdown of the GDP formula and India's consumer-driven economy, this segment offers a strong foundation for understanding headlines and economic reports.The Q&A section begins with Anonymous, who wants to understand which equity mutual fund categories in India can invest in foreign shares and whether there are specific limits involved. Somya Shrivastava, a PSU manager, seeks advice on when to rebalance and evaluate her mutual fund portfolio. Mohit Khera asks if it's a good idea to invest ₹50 lakhs in a Nifty 50 fund and start an SWP for his parents, while Akila Shivkumar wants to know when it makes sense to book profits on her long-term SIP investments.Chapters:(00:33-04:42) Is a luxury bag an investment?(04:43-06:18) What is GDP and why it matters(06:22-09:39) Which mutual funds can invest in foreign stocks?(09:40-12:06) How to manage and rebalance your mutual fund portfolio(12:07-12:57) Is SWP from equity funds a good idea for parents?(12:58-14:41) When should you book profits in mutual funds?https://www.valueresearchonline.com/funds/selector/category/118/equity-international/?end-type=1&plan-type=direct&exclude=suspended-planshttps://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/markets/with-7-billion-limit-breached-only-a-few-mf-schemes-offer-overseas-equity-exposure-here-s-the-list-of-schemes-12971900.htmlIf you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠ Monika's book on basic money management⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/⁠⁠Monika's book on mutual funds⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/⁠Monika's workbook on recording your financial life⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/⁠⁠Calculators⁠⁠https://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.html⁠⁠You can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan. Twitter ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠LinkedIn ⁠@MonikaHalan⁠Production House: ⁠www.inoutcreatives.com⁠Production Assistant:⁠ Anshika Gogoi

In the second episode of the Bridging the Age Gap series, Julia is joined by Jackie and Emma, two Indigenous women who share the same heritage but stand in different life stages, weaving together ancestral wisdom and contemporary voice. What unfolds is a deeply grounded conversation on reclaiming identity, resisting colonial definitions of mentorship and leadership, and learning to lead in a way that honours both elders and future generations. Jackie shares what it means to carry her Indigenous identity and ancestral knowledge into powerful political and institutional spaces; she calls this a journey “from the outhouse to the White House.” Emma shares how, over time, elders in her community saw leadership potential in her, much before she saw it in herself. Together, they model an intergenerational exchange that is neither hierarchical nor linear, it's circular and rooted in reciprocity, presence, and a reverence for the natural world. “A Birch tree doesn't say to a Cottonwood, ‘you're bigger than me.' They just exist. They coexist. And they each have their own medicine.” – Jackie Tune in to hear how leading, for them, is less about roles and titles and more about holding space, honouring lineage, and being of service to the land and people. About the Guests: Jackie Qatalina Schaeffer, as the Director of Climate Initiatives, she brings over 20 years of experience in communications and business management. She facilitates stakeholder engagement and supports various projects focused on environmental health, climate, and sanitation across Alaska. Jackie served as the Lead Facilitator for the Holistic Approach to Northern Sustainable Communities project and co-authored several regional energy plans in collaboration with the Alaska Energy Authority and local leaders. Her current work includes addressing water security and sanitation for unserved homes in rural Alaska, climate adaptation, community engagement, and integrating Indigenous perspectives to bridge service gaps. Jackie's commitment to serving Indigenous populations allows her to merge culture and Indigenous knowledge with her professional endeavours, creating a powerful blend of Western and Indigenous perspectives. Emma Johnson, a Cowlitz Tribal member, received her BA in Cultural Anthropology from Washington State University Vancouver and her MS in Sociocultural Anthropology at Portland State University (PSU). Emma is currently the Indigenous Traditional Ecological and Cultural Knowledge (ITECK) Coordinator in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean's Office at PSU. In this role, she focuses on community engagement, partnership development, and cultivating a sense of belonging for students. Emma is extremely passionate about place-based education and connecting people to the landscape by introducing them to plant and animal relatives. She feels at home in the world of tribal food sovereignty and strives to support the reclamation and restoration of traditional foodways in Indian Country.

Loneliness Among US Veterans With Problematic Substance Use: Results From the National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study Journal of Addiction Medicine Loneliness is a major public health concern, especially among individuals with problematic substance use (PSU), but little research has focused on vulnerable groups like US military veterans. This study, using data from the National Health and Resilience in Veterans Study, found that nearly half of veterans with PSU (47.4%) experience clinically significant loneliness. Factors contributing to loneliness included being unmarried, higher psychological distress (depression and PTSD), a history of suicide attempts, physical disability, smaller social networks, and lower purpose in life and optimism. The analysis highlighted that depressive and PTSD symptoms had the strongest impact on loneliness, followed by social network size and sense of purpose. Furthermore, veterans with depressive symptoms who had a strong sense of purpose were less likely to feel lonely. The study underscores the need for strategies targeting psychological distress, fostering social connections, and enhancing purpose to help alleviate loneliness in this population.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

We'll discuss where Penn State sits on the list of final schools and when he'll visit Happy Valley. Next, we'll flip to the other side of the football to discuss the offensive line.

Subscribe to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3KzEcqKCheck out the site too! - https://bit.ly/3u8dilDThe Penn State Football team has completed spring football camp and the 2025 transfer portal window is closed. While the team could still add players already in the portal, it's less likely by the day that will happen. So, today on the BWI Live Show, we're re-ranking the Penn State offensive positions. We ranked the positions before spring football on the site and will now reveal which positions we think took the biggest steps in player acquisition and development over the last two months. Join the show live at 10 a.m. on YouTube to be part of the show!

However, there has been news about former Penn State players trying to make it in the NFL this week. Two former Nittany Lion defensive linemen signed with teams in the last four days for tryouts or rookie practice spots. We'll discuss how Amin Vanover and Dvon J-Thomas can make a roster this spring. We'll also briefly discuss the recruiting weekend. The Elite 11 wraps up its national tour in State College on Sunday. Blue White Illustrated will be at the event to watch two Penn State passers. The team has fielded at least one committed passer at the last three events in the shadow of Penn State's campus. We'll preview what we want to learn about Peyton Falzone and Troy Huhn this weekend. Power Ranking the offenseEach year we track the team's progress in the offseason by ranking it's collective pieces on both sides of the ball pre and post spring football. This year, we're starting with the offense in our post-spring evaluation. Penn State added another wide receiver to the mix hours before the Blue-White Game when former Syracuse receiver Trebor Pena committed to the program. Was that enough to get the position out of the basement? We'll discuss the team's roster, counting from five to one on the show. We'll also track how certain positions developed this spring, vaulting one team to a new number one on the offense while two critical positions merged even closer in the rankings. Be sure to check out the show live at 10 a.m. or catch the replay on the site.

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.

As the masked goons of the MAGA nanny-state continue to disappear students for holding views upsetting to hysterical Zionists and their sweaty, senile leader continues to rule by deranged imperial decree executive order, we sit down with Erica Thomas, a union organizer, professor and artist, to talk about what's going on in our increasingly unhinged southern neighbour, the USA. We talk about the Portland police force's weird attempt to join the Oregon labour movement, the enshittification of higher education and everything else, and the state of Palestine organizing on campuses today. We also talk about union art, the Democratic Socialists of America, and the possibility, at long last, of the emergence of a true third party in US politics.

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.

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.

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
