Can Penn State still land its top receiver in 2023 cycle?
After striking out with most of its top targets in this cycle, the Nittany Lions landed a potential steal in three-star receiver prospect Yazeed Haynes, only to have him swiped away by Georiga. Soon after, receivers coach Taylor Stubblefield found a physical slot player in Enjani Shakir to lead the class, soon followed by a surprise commitment from speedster Carmelo Taylor out of Patrick Henry high school in Virginia.
But things changed again this week, which is where we start the show. Recruiting insiders Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz discuss the decommitment of Shakir this weekend. Is this another loss for the program? Or is it something else? Next, he and Snyder break down how things have gone over the last several days.
The news of Shakir moving on from the program was quickly followed by 2023 top target Rodney Gallagher announcing that he was visiting the program this weekend. Are the two events linked? Snyder spoke to Gallagher before the show and shared what he learned from the Pittsburgh-area native.

Finally, they give a preview of the visitor list for this week.

They discuss how this weekend will function for the Nittany Lions and look ahead to December recruiting.
