Episode Details

News shattered the college sports world last night when the Big Ten announced that they accepted USC and UCLA from the Pac 12 starting in 2024. As a result, Penn State now finds itself in the middle of a budding super conference poised to take over college athletics. On Friday's BWI Daily Edition, host Thomas Frank Carr and recruiting insider Ryan Snyder discuss that and Penn State's Class of 2023. Could they find themselves in the top ten? 

They start with the news last night that UCS and UCLA will join Penn State in the Big Ten. How does this move change the landscape of college football? Snyder and T-Frank discuss that at length. They also look forward to what and who is next. Will the ACC survive this distillation of athletic conferences? What other programs from the Pac 12 could join the southern California schools? 

Previously, Snyder said that Penn State's Class of 2023 didn't have a great chance of landing in the top ten once the cycle was completed. Does he feel that way now? There are still plenty of hills to climb, but Snyder sees a path to that reality. He cites that the team already amassed a quality number of four-star players and can realistically add more. 

Can they land defensive tackles Derrick LeBlanc and Jason Moore? What about offensive tackle Evan Link? Do they have a chance with four-star corner Elliot Washington? The list includes other familiar names like Tony Rojas, Ta'Mere Robinson and Cam Seldon. Finally, Snyder gives his thoughts on the reality of that vision coming together. 

Lastly, T-Frank and Snyder discuss the running back situation for 2023. With all that talent left on the board, can Penn State add Treyaun Webb and London Montgomery? They break down how that could play out.
