Portal News: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/news/trimmings-what-were-hearing-on-penn-state-and-the-portal/

The Penn State Nittany Lions and the rest of the college football world are less than a week away from the start of the early signing period. The new National Signing Day is Wednesday, Dec. 20, and we're here to preview the team's efforts heading into the event.

Also, several Penn State prospects, including four-star running back Quinton Martin and three-star corner Kenny Woseley took part in PIAA Championship games this past week. We'll discuss how those players performed and how the team is preparing for its big celebration on Wednesday.

Expert recruiting insiders Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz discuss what they've learned since the show last got together.

Penn State RPM Pick from both experts

The biggest recent news is that both Snyder and Fitz have a pick in for Penn State to land linebacker Alex Tatsch. The Greater Latrobe linebacker has been trending to the Nittany Lions for some time, so we'll discuss why he's seemingly a lock to land in Happy Valley.

Snyder also visited the PIAA championship games this past weekend and will recap how players like Martin, Tiqwai Hayes, Woseley, and other targets performed on the biggest stage of their careers.

Snyder has been busy connecting with recruits, including linebacker Anthony Speca. Speca took things to the next level this fall and explains in his article what he attributes to that growth. We'll also preview exclusive content from Blue White Illustrated about a key four-star quarterback's visit to Penn State this past weekend.

Transfer portal

Fitz has fresh news Thursday morning about Penn State's portal activity. Check that out here. While we won't dive into all the names he's found, we'll discuss his conversation with Andre Green Jr., one of Penn State's first portal visits from this past weekend.

The Penn State basketball team ended a four-game skid by beating Ohio State 83-80 at home this past weekend. The team was down at halftime before an unexpected rally that featured great three-point shooting, gritty rebounding, and clutch plays.

So what can the team take from that win? Will they build on it for the upcoming schedule? We’re looking at that and what head coach Mike Rhoades said about his Penn State Hoops team on the Hoops Show. Join Nate Bauer and Thomas Frank Carr as they discuss this potential turning point for the Nittany Lions.

The Penn State Nittany Lions football team is looking for a new defensive coordinator heading into the 2024 offseason. With the early national signing day looming, plus the Peach Bowl on Dec. 30, the team needs to act quickly. But does Penn State head coach James Franklin already have the next coordinator on his staff? A popular option among fans is to promote from within and have safety coach Anthony Poindexter assume the role of replicating Manny Diaz’s defense.

On today’s show, we debate the merits of that against hiring a new coordinator with his own system.

Franklin opens the door to PSU internal hire

The idea of Penn Stat hiring from within isn’t a bad one. Poindexter is an excellent coach with experience who could be a candidate for the job. Franklin alluded to as much during his Monday press conference when asked about the job.

“(We’re) trying to also balance that while also interviewing and trying to decide what we’re going to do moving forward with our defensive coordinator position, whether it’s an internal candidate or an external candidate. And we’re working through that right now,” Franklin said. “But we’ll handle it like we have on offense the last few games of the season. And I’ll get into more specifics as we get together again.”

The issue is the sentiment that Poindexter should “run Manny’s defense”. We’ll discuss how that could go wrong and the challenges of any coordinator trying to replicate someone else’s scheme.

Fans questions want to know more about team building

Penn State offensive coordinator Andy Kotelnicki will take over next year with the same question that the team had this year. How do you use two quarterbacks? On today's show we'll discuss how to best use backup quarterback Beau Pribula in any offense that features Drew Allar.

We'll also take questions from fans about the tight ends behind Theo Johnson and Tyler Warren. Can Penn State keep the same level of productivity at the position?

Lastly, the team needs to make the right moves in the transfer portal this offseason. What are the positions that the team needs to address? We'll discuss the addition of Divison II tackle Alan Herron and preview what the team still needs from the portal before the window closes in January.

The Penn State Nittany Lions face off against Ole Miss in the 2023 Peach Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 30 at noon. This week, the program held a press conference to preview the game and will host its official media day on Friday. All of that surrounds the team's efforts to keep players interested in playing in the game and transfer portal activity. It's a hectic amount of news items to keep track of. Thankfully, The BWI Live show is here to sort it all out.

Penn State veteran reporters Sean Fitz and Nate Bauer join the show to discuss Theo Johnson's decision to play in the game, the team's acquisition of Alan Herron, and more. Check out the show's replay on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Channel or here at the site.

Penn State formally invited to the Peach Bowl

The Peach Bowl committee flew into State College on Monday to discuss the upcoming game between Penn State and Ole Miss. Still, it was an opportunity to ask head coach James Franklin and athletic director Pat Kraft questions about the program. We'll dive into their answers on today's show.

We'll cover the nuggets we learned from Franklin about how he plans to handle the defensvie coordinator search, and how he plans to operate that side of the ball during the bowl game. Does that mean Anthony Poindexter or Terry Smith will call the game? Or will they run a joint venture?

It's a big weekend for the Penn State Nittany Lions recruiting department. Not only is it the final weekend to bring the Recruiting Class of 2024 together one last time, it's also an official visit weekend for transfer portal players. On top of that, news broke Thursday night that Penn State defensive coordinator Manny Diaz is leaving to be the head coach at Duke.

Need to make sense of everything? Join the BWI Live Recruiting Show today at 10 a.m. to hear from recruiting insiders Ryan Snyder and Sean Fitz as they discuss the major landmarks that fans need to know this weekend.

Penn State loses Diaz to Duke

The news didn't become official until late Thursday night, but reports and rumors swirled for most of the day that Diaz would be the next coach at Duke. Penn State head coach James Franklin addressed the news on social media Friday morning.

"We truly appreciate everything Manny and his family contributed to Penn State the past two seasons," Franklin said. "Our team and staff have nothing but respect for Manny and the leadership he brought to our program. He was a tremendous teacher, mentor and friend while in Happy Valley. We wish him and his family all the best at Duke!"

We'll start the show by discussing Diaz's departure from the program and the overall effect it will have on the team. How will it affect recruiting? And is how does the timing of this move affect the team's ability to find a replacement? Our experts dig into that at the top of the show.

Penn State official visit weekend

The Nittany Lions have several official visits from the transfer portal here this weekend as well. Former high-four star wide receiver Andre Green Jr. announced that he'll be in Happy Valley this weekend to meet with the Penn State staff, as will Alan Herron, an offensive lineman from Shorter University.

Fitz and Snyder will give some details about what to expect from the portal window this winter, including these two visits. It's also the last weekend that the Penn State recruiting Class of 2024 will come together before the early signing period begins on Dec. 20. The duo will discuss why this weekend is important and why the staff brings this group together.

State Championship preview

Lastly, Snyder has been following the PIAA State Championships this weekend. Several Penn State commits and recruits are in action this weekend. He'll recap how Tiqwai Hayes performed Thursday night and preview the players you should follow this weekend in the final games of 2023.

Today on the BWI Live Show, we dissect Penn State's 2023 Peach Bowl opponent, Ole Miss. We'll talk about what the offense, under head coach Lane Kiffen, likes to do, and how they do it. We'll also discuss the team's defensive abilities, schemes and players. Check out the show here or on the Blue White Illustrated YouTube Page.

We'll also discuss new Penn State's offensive coordinator, Andy Kotelnicki and his offensive approach.

Penn State defense vs. Ole Miss

Today's show is based on the By The Numbers series from earlier this week, after the bowl matchup was announced. He's an excerpt of what we discuss on the show.

From a productivity standpoint, Jaxson Dart is the best quarterback that Penn State will face this season. All the former USC commit has done in two seasons under Lane Kiffen is throw for just under 3,000 yards in back-to-back seasons. Despite that, the team isn’t a pass-happy unit with a 60% pass ratio. The team only threw the ball on 48% of its offensive plays this year. We’ve been obsessed with the term “balance” this season with the Penn State offense. This offense truly has balance in its offensive threats.

That’s allowed Kiffen to scheme up explosive plays for the Ole Miss offense. Dart has generated 92 explosive passing plays (15-plus yards) this season, tied for seventh most among Power Five offenses. That accounted for 2,442 yards.

Check out the complete breakdown of the offense here.

Drew Allar, running backs will face a familiar challenge

As for the defense, we folded in some early scouting to give fans a picture of what Ole Miss does defensively. The answer? A lot.

The official Ole Miss depth chart says that the team runs an odd front defense, with three defensive linemen and an “outside” linebacker, but the team can and does run just about every front with regularity. While they “base” out of an odd front (3-4), they play wide over, odd, wide under, and even fronts an equal amount. Despite being listed as an outside linebacker starter, Cedric Johnson has dropped into coverage 44 times out of 526 total snaps in the regular season.

To cut through the technicalities and jargon, Ole Miss deploys two defensive linemen and two edge defenders that they use in multiple ways, including odd fronts. It’s about how you’re used, not always what you “can” do. But the bottom line is that the Penn State offensive line must be ready for many different looks.

Once again, you can see the full breakdown of the defense and it's schemes here.

Learn more about those topics and hear fan questions in quarter three of the show!
