It was a successful Blue-White weekend for Penn State football, with around 80 prospects on hand to see the event. Recruiting insider Ryan Snyder and reporter Greg Pickel discuss what went down this weekend, their observations, and more on the BWI Daily Recruiting Show. They’ll also share what they know about Penn State’s latest commit in the Class of 2023, Conrad Hussey. Finally, they’ll finish the show and discuss key recruits in ’23 who have released or will release their top schools shortly.

Penn State’s newest commit

Pickel starts the show with Penn State’s newest Nittany Lion. The three-star defensive back chose the Nittany Lions in a surprise move on Monday, and since then, BWI has had a chance to talk to Hussey and his advisors. Pickel gives his impressions of Hussey from his interview earlier in the week, and Snyder tells the audience what he learned from Hussey’s step-father and coach. So how well will a Florida player who commits after one visit stick? Snyder and Pickel give their thoughts. Finally, Pickel explains why Hussey wanted to commit to a school so far from home.

Blue-White weekend recruiting recap

Next, they discuss the Blue-White game and the weekend recruiting effort. Before getting to the list of names present on Saturday, they discuss the misconceptions about the event.

Outside of a few players, the list of visitors focused more on the Class of 2024. Snyder also explains some of the hiccups and pitfalls with so many recruits on campus. He also explains the subtle ways he can tell which players are the priority recruits in attendance.
