Gut Check: Can Penn State Recruiting Finish Higher than 15?

The Penn State football recruiting staff is waiting a week to start its official visits so we also have a week to do a wider look at the team’s recruiting situation heading into the final, pivotal stretch of commitment season. On today’s show, we’ll recap the latest recruiting news, including Penn State missing out on a pair of four-star prospects. Today’s main topic will be a gut check of where things are and where they will go over the next six months of recruiting. We’ll ask recruiting reporter Sean Fitz a series of questions to get his gut reaction to them on today’s show. We’ll also ask you for your thoughts in the BWI Mailbag!

Join the show live to discuss what’s on your mind with the team’s recruiting efforts in June. We’ll be taking the best questions from the live chat to answer in the BWI Mailbag segment on today’s show. Want to be the first to know when a player commits, or there’s a big story breaking?

Next, we’ll dive into today’s main topic. We’re not asking Fitz for the facts or reporting. We’re asking him to draw on what he knows to give us his opinion on several important and relevant topics to the Class of 2027. We want to get a gut check from the BWI Recruiting staff. We’ll ask him if he thinks Penn State will end up with a class ranking better than 15, who he thinks is the best player so far, if the team will get a second quarterback, and other topics we’ve discussed this year.
