Episode Details

Penn State football has another option on the transfer market for their offensive line, wrestling is set for their final dual and more this week. Reporter Greg Pickel joins the BWI Daily Edition to discuss that with host Thomas Frank Carr.

T-Frank and Pickel start with Penn State wrestling head coach Cael Sanderson’s comments from his Monday press conference. Did Sanderson give an update about where Brady Berge will wrestle for the postseason? Pickel gets into Sanderson’s comments about where the one-time retiree will fit going forward now that he’s back on the team. Penn State pulled him from the lineup over the last two weeks and Pickel gives his thoughts on the situation.

Next, they discuss the rest of the lineup and assess just how set Penn State is at their weaknesses from earlier in the year. Will Sanderson wrestle is best this weekend as a tune-up for the Big Ten Tournament? What did the team do in the bye week? Pickel gives his thoughts on what Sanderson indicated this week.

From there, they shift gears to discuss Penn State football’s season opening game against Purdue. The news came out late last week that the game will now be on Thursday night instead of the traditional Saturday slot. Is this a good thing for Penn State and head coach James Franklin? Pickel shares the sentiments of fans he’s spoken to and then gives his thoughts. T-Frank follows with his comments on the ability for the Nittany Lions to play more showcase games.

After wrapping up their discussion about the fall opener, T-Frank and Pickel move on to the transfer portal. Western Kentucky offensive lineman Cole Spencer put his name into the portal this week and has immediately drawn interest from multiple schools looking for an offensive tackle. Pickel gives the details about the situation.

After that, T-Frank gives a quick overview of Spencer’s performance last season before engaging Greg in a larger discussion about the portal. Is Penn State’s patient approach this year paying off? They’ve extended offers to several quality prospects in recent weeks and waited to land offensive lineman Hunter Nourzad this month. They discuss the merits of this approach while Pickel points out a critical difference between this offseason and last offseason.
