The Penn State recruiting team put in a lot of work this spring, gaining 12 commits during spring football. The team valued itself in the top 20 of recruiting classes from a standing start in late March and now transitions to the next phase. With May arriving on Friday, the recruiting calendar switches to an important new cycle, which we’ll discuss on today’s show. However, the most important news this week is that the team may be on the verge of getting another commitment in the coming days. We’ll discuss Aiden Gibson’s recruiting updates from the last few days, plus recap the running back situation heading into the summer.
