Big moves made in the receiver room

The week’s biggest news broke Sunday evening when assistant coach Taylor Stubblefield announced via social media that he was being let go from the program. Shortly after, Penn State followed up with an official statement. So what led to the departure? Fitz and Snyder discuss the variables that led to his termination and look at recent news, but also the big picture of his time at Penn State. 

Next, they transition into top portal target Cephas’ commitment shortly after Stubblefield’s firing. Are the two related? And how long has Cephas been in the works? The duo take you through the somewhat complicated recruiting process of getting Cephas to Penn State and explain what’s next for the former Akron Zip. They also update fans on the latest portal visitor, 6-4 Florida State receiver Malik McClain

After working through the transfer portal news, they focus on 2023 tackle Chimdy Onoh’s official visit to the program. The lone 2023 target seems like a great fit for Penn State and vice versa but how did his visit go? Snyder discusses what he knows and cautions fans from getting too excited about a potential commitment in the near future.
