Episode Details

With 19 recruits in the Class of 2023, Penn State's spots are winding down, but their efforts are not. There's still plenty of work to do on the way to a completed class this cycle, and the BWI Daily Recruiting Show returns to update Penn state fans on what's going on with the Nittany Lions. Host Greg Pickel and recruiting insider Ryan Snyder to discuss various topics, including a new RPM Pick by Snyder for the Nittany Lions.

First, they start with the celebratory news for Penn State fans from last weekend. Four-star linebackers Tony Rojas and Ta'Mere Robinson committed to the Nittany Lions last week on back-to-back days. Then, Snyder explains how it all came together for Penn State and how confident the team was heading into the weekend.

But is Penn State done at the position? Snyder discusses the chances that the team brings Kaveion Keys, a four-star linebacker from Virginia, to complement the duo. Currently, North Carolina and Penn State are neck-and-neck in the recruiting prediction machine. Snyder gives a timeline for Keys' commitment and what chances he sees for the Nittany Lions to land the 180th overall player.

Next, they discuss the On3 rankings update that came out on Monday. Penn State has 11 nationally ranked players in the top 300, including a five-star player in Jven Williams and a consensus five-star lineman in Alex Birchmeier. Next, Pickel and Snyder discuss the other names that rose and fell in the rankings, including King Mack, Conrad Hussey, and Joey Schlaffer. They also examine why players like Tomarrion Parker fell during this update.

Snyder put in a prediction for Penn State to land four-star defensive end Jalen Thompson out of Cass Tech this week. So what makes him think they'll land the 6-3 pass rusher? He explains what key factors made him pull the trigger.

Finally, they discuss Elliot Washington's performance at the UA Future 50 and which players will visit Penn State for the Lasch Bash at the end of the month.
