Everything affects recruiting, but no single thing will win you or lose a group of players. So how do you measure the impact of the loss to Michigan? Host Ryan Snyder and Blue White Illustrated publisher Sean Fitz discuss that idea to start the show. For Fitz, the discussion isn’t about losing to Michigan; it’s about a larger narrative around the program he examines. 

However, individual cases can change the balance of one situation or another. For Snyder, he finds Anthony Speca’s recruitment fascinating now that the four-star linebacker will visit Michigan and Penn State in back-to-back weeks. He even discusses who he thinks the leader for Speca’s services is at this point. 

The White Out isn’t the only list this week. The On300 for the Class of 2024 got an update this week, and the next crop of talent heading into college football is crystallizing. Some interesting players that intrigued Fitz and Snyder include interior lineman Liam Andrews and tackle Kevin Haywood, among others. 

It wasn’t all good news for Penn State prospects, though. Players like Quinton Martin and Dominic Nichols dropped in the rankings, which should surprise most recruiting fans. However, Snyder spoke to Charles Power, the recruiting director for On3, about most of Penn State’s prospects and gave the reasons behind the drop for critical prospects. 

Finally, the duo discusses the White Out list. While they don’t dive into each name, they do examine five names each that they think are exciting players to watch this weekend. Some players include Quince Orchard pass rusher Jaylen Harvey and defensive end Brian Robinson out of Ohio. Fitz also highlights a contingent of offensive linemen from the Buckeye state coming to the game. Throughout the show, they also highlight players that should be on commitment watch before, after, or during the big recruiting weekend.
