We’re now deep into Penn State spring practice, which means there is plenty to discuss with the Nittany Lions. It also means that there’s more recruiting news to sort through after the second weekend of visitors on campus. Blue White Illustrated’s Monday live show dissects the recruiting weekend to get you caught up with the latter. Recruiting insiders Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz review the stories they followed and the players they talked to with host Thomas Frank Carr.

They’ll review Penn State’s latest commitment in the Class of 2024 after tight end Luke Reynolds committed to the program on Saturday. The group will also discuss the feedback they received from visiting prospects and update storylines about individuals like defensive tackle Xavier Gilliam after his latest visit.

They’ll also update fans on the story with Gilliam, who is quickly becoming one of Penn State’s stop interior targets.

Finally, the group will end the show by discussing the newest offers that have gone out to prospects since the last show. They’ll discuss the offer status of Texas athlete Dre’lon Miller, and 2024 interior lineman Joseph Cryer.
