They start with the biggest news coming out of the weekend. Penn State has secured an official visit for one key recruit left in the 2023 cycle. Fitz discusses which player will meet with Penn State before national signing day in February. Next, Snyder discusses why he’s hesitant to put too much stock in official visit plans before the new year has started. They discuss how hard it is to land the top players remaining after signing day and how much competition Penn State will have for those players.
Wrapping up 2023
Next, they briefly discuss the transfer portal and how Penn State is trying to address the receiver and cornerback positions.
Penn State 2024 wish list
The rest of the show is dedicated to previewing the top players in the next class. While 2024 hasn’t officially started, the next batch of recruiting targets is already taking shape. Fitz and Snyder go through each position and list the top players that Penn State may wish to land by this time next year. While some names, like Pittsburgh area athlete Quinton Martin and New England offensive lineman Liam Andrews, are apparent, some other positions are not.
Fitz discusses why hearing names early for specific positions can be an issue. This list is comprehensive for the moment, but he says that more names will emerge as serious contenders over the next six months and which positions this applies to most.
Additionally, they discuss which positions have an early lead on depth in the region compared to last season. Finally, they highlight the top players and debate which players, such as linebacker Aaron Chiles or wide receiver Elijah Moore, could grow out of their current positions.
