We’ll give our impressions about the players we talked to and what we learned about the team’s progress this offseason. Which players stood out in the process of talking to dozens of new and returning Penn State football players?  Rivals 300 Update Next, we’ll dive into the recruiting news from the past week, including the Rivals 300 update that came out on Tuesday. Penn State does not have any commits in the current class, but dozens of targets moved up and down in the latest update. Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz will break down which moves are meaningful and how Penn State fans should feel about top targets receiving attention as they improve their recruiting stock.  Next, we’ll discuss the team’s plans for spring football with another round of visit announcements since our last recruiting update. Which names to Penn State fans need to know who have announced their intentions to get a close look at the program in March and April? We’ll highlight the biggest wins for the staff this week.  BWI Mailbag Finally, we’ll open the BWI Mailbag for fans of the show! Today, we’ll be taking recruiting questions from the BWI Mailbag submission thread on the site as featured questions. We’ll be discussing the value of recruiting a high school quarterback, given the heavy investment it takes to recruit a quality prospect and the uncertain odds of that player working out in the long run. We’ll also discuss the rough size of what Penn State wants from its Class of 2027. Want to discuss something else?
