BWI Daily: Can Penn State slot corner Daequan Hardy expand his role? Apr 20, 2022

Show notes

Penn State cornerback Daequan Hardy and defensive end Nick Tarburton spoke with the media yesterday ahead of the team's annual Blue-White Game. Host of the BWI Daily Edition, Thomas Frank Carr, and senior editor Nate Bauer, discuss their impressions ahead of the weekend.

They start with slot corner Daequan Hardy. Hardy is quietly one of the best players on the team, but his role last season was surprisingly small. So does Hardy want that to change? T-Frank asked the redshirt junior that question on Tuesday, and he plays Hardy's answer on the show. First, they discuss Hardy's response and examine if his role can expand.

Does he have the skills to play other positions? Once again, T-Frank picks Hardy's brain to find out what makes a good boundary corner, and then he and Bauer examine if Hardy has the physical and mental skills to execute that role. Next, the discussion about Hardy and his fit inside the new Manny Diaz defense expands to the rest of the secondary. While Hardy is one of the better coverage players, the system may use players differently. Is there more room for his role to grow naturally this year? Finally, T-Frank and Bauer discuss who will play behind linebacker Jonathan Sutherland and how that position impacts Hardy.

Finally, they shift their attention to defensive end Nick Tarburton. The veteran defensive end dished some interesting information on several young players who have stood out this spring. You'll hear his comments on running back Nick Singleton, safety Zakee Wheatley, and fellow edge rusher Smith Vilbert. Additionally, Bauer recalls Tarburton's thoughts on offensive lineman Olu Fashanu, Caedan Wallace, and center Juice Scruggs. Tarburton has high praise for the offensive linemen and the running game so far this spring.

Next, they dig into Tarburton's impact on the defense for the upcoming year. Despite gaining some critical help in the transfer portal, T-Frank explains why Tarburton needs to take a step as a pass rusher for the defense to succeed. Finally, they delve into how the other players at the defensive end position need to play a role next fall.

Recruiting Show: Could Penn State be on the verge of another commitment? Apr 19, 2022

Show notes

Penn State football heads into an important weekend for recruiting with the Blue-White game on Saturday. Who is coming up for the weekend? Also, which players might commit soon? Recruiting insider Ryan Snyder and reporter Greg Pickel discuss that and more on the BWI Daily Recruiting Show.

They start with the latest update from Roman Catholic defensive end Jameial Lyons. The four-star defensive end moved the date up on his commitment announcement from August to this spring. Snyder and Pickel tell you when and what that means for Penn State. Snyder also gives you the context and back-story to Lyons' first announced date and when he made it.

Next, Pickel discusses the ecosystem that Lyons comes from, which is the Philadelphia football scene. He explains the diversity of schools, players, and influences in the region that make it a challenging area to peg in terms of Penn State's home-court advantage. Finally, Pickel drops a tidbit about a player on the opposite side of the state.

After they discuss Lyons, Pickel, and Snyder, they move on to discuss a player that earned five-star status in Penn State offensive line commit Alex Birchmeier. He's the second Nittany Lion commit for 2023 to earn the honor and joins future teammate Jven Williams in the recognition. But, more than ranking, Snyder has high praise for how good a player Birchmeier is.

The discussion about Birchmeier quickly transitions into the rest of the On300 update, which dropped this week. Birchmeier isn't the only Penn State prospect to move in the rankings. Snyder quickly brings up one that he thinks is still underrated in the process in Life Christian Academy lineman Josh Miller.

On the flip side, Penn State safety prospect Cam Seldon dropped in the rankings. Snyder gives some insight about why he might have fallen, and it's not precisely about Seldon's talent. Other players that Snyder mentions are defensive tackle Daevin Hobbs and offensive lineman Oluwatosin Babalade. Snyder spoke with Babalade earlier this week and got a distinct impression about the DeMatha Catholic offensive lineman.

From there, they discuss other important players for the Class of 2023 that have Penn State listed in their final schools. Those players include safety Jayden Bonsu and four-star defensive end Desmond Umeozulu. The duo debate whether or not the Nittany Lions are a serious contender for either prospect to land in Happy Valley.

Finally, they wrap up with a preview of the week, including a tease for the Friday edition of the BWI Daily, where Snyder will discuss the list of players that plan to attend the first Blue-White game open to fans in two years.

BWI Daily: Offensive line and Blue-White Game preview Apr 18, 2022

Show notes

The Penn State football team heads into their final week of spring practice, and the BWI Daily Edition is here to get you ready. Host Thomas Frank Carr looks at the 2022 Blue White game, the first in two years, to give you a sense of what to expect on Saturday.

T-Frank starts with the Penn State offensive line and how things have gone so far this spring for the Nittany Lions. Then, he plays clips from head coach James Franklin to explain how that group will affect what you see on the field in Beaver Stadium this weekend. To illustrate the problem, T-Frank shows viewers the depth chart at the start of spring practice. Penn State had been very thin at the position before injuries started mounting this year. Without knowing which players have been missing and what amount of time they've missed, he explains the problem broadly.

Next, he brings up the issue of installing and refining the offense under second-year coordinator Mike Yurcich. While most fans and media focus on the quarterback's mastery of the scheme, how is the rest of the offense? Specifically, what about the offensive line? With players missing time and depth scarce, has that helped the available players get more reps? Or has it hurt the unit to be down in functionality? T-Frank asked Franklin last week, and he plays Franklin's answer.

The following conversation springing from Franklin's answer is about the rest of the offense. Can they effectively pick things up with the line struggling to field a complete unit? Does the defense get quality work going against them? Next, t-Frank dives into one specific aspect of the offense, helped by Yurcich's comments about trying to improve the team's deep passing game a year ago. He explains how important each rep is and why the team has worked hard to make things normal this spring.

Lastly, he gets into what fans should expect out of the game on Saturday.

BWI Daily: Interview with Drew Allar QB coach Brad Maendler Apr 15, 2022

Show notes

Penn State football offered current quarterback Drew Allar when he was an up-and-coming four-star player for Medina high school in Ohio. The soon-to-be Nittany Lion committed to the team before his senior season and erupted into a five-star, top-ten player in the Class of 2022. Today, the BWI Daily Edition takes you behind that transformation from a talented passer into a borderline superstar with the man who helped him get there. Private quarterback trainer Brad Maendler started working with Allar before his junior season and has tutored Allar throughout his final two seasons. Maendler takes you into the "Why behind the what."

The Why Behind the What

Maendler starts the show by explaining how he got into quarterback coaching. A former quarterback himself, it's an unlikely way that he started coaching players professionally. He explains learning the biomechanics behind throwing and where he learned them.

After that, host Thomas Frank Carr and Maendler dive into the subject of Allar. The Ohio native explains what made him reach out to Allar's parents in the first place and how the young quarterback impressed him during training. Much like Penn State's other five-star players in the 2022 class, Allar went through a transformation during the Covid-19 Pandemic.

That topic ties into something that T-Frank saw from Maendler online when discussing linear versus rotational throwing mechanics. Maendler then explains the evolution of traditional throwing mechanics and how he helped Allar change from a baseball thrower into a modern quarterback. Through this, he describes a new way of throwing, which quarterbacks from the NFL down, use to deliver the football with consistent power and accuracy.

T-Frank wants to know more, so he asks Maendler if this is where Allar's improved accuracy came from his senior season. They discuss the transformation process and the effort that Allar put into the switch. Maendler also gives insight into the Penn State freshman's personality and work ethic.

While most of their time deals with Penn State's prized quarterback, T-Frank wants insight into the other people and factors into Allar's development. He asks Maendler how the Medina offense relied on the 6-5 passer and how he made it his own over time. They also discuss Penn State quarterback coach and offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich. What are his impressions of the second-year Penn State coordinator? He explains what he likes about Yurcich and what they have in common.

Finally, T-Frank asks about another pupil that Maendler is currently working with, four-star quarterback Ryan Montgomery. The 6-2 Class of 2025 passer visited Penn State last weekend and is a high-priority player for his cycle. What makes him so good? Maendler describes his physical and mental approach to the game.

BWI Daily: Practice Observations and Mailbag with Nate Bauer Apr 14, 2022

Show notes

Penn State football held its fourth open practice on Wednesday, and Blue White Illustrated was there to gather in the sights and sounds. First, host Thomas Frank Carr and senior Editor Nate Bauer give you their impressions of what they saw and heard in today's edition of the BWI Daily. After that, they take questions from viewers and listeners in their weekly mailbag segment.

The best way to get your question on air is to join BWI for just one dollar and get 12 months of access to the Lions Den Message Forum, where T-Frank posts his call for questions each week.

Practice Observations

Bauer starts the show off by looking into the punting situation with the Nittany Lions. After having consistency at the position for six seasons between Blake Gillikin and Jordan Stout, Penn State enters a new era. After watching them perform in practice, Bauer gives his impressions of Gabe Nwuosu and Barney Amour.

After that, they discuss the first live work that Penn State has shown the media this spring. The first-team offense faced the first-team defense for a goal-line play, followed by a two-point conversion with the second string. How did that go? What did Bauer and T-Frank take from what they saw? Finally, they discuss what's valuable and not valuable from those moments.

Finally, they discuss safety Keaton Ellis and his presence with the Penn State defense. Bauer thinks that Ellis is highly underrated this spring as a player that needs to get more attention. Why? Bauer explains.

After that, they discuss the topics that the media asked head coach James Franklin. They discuss the offensive line depth issues, what Franklin has in store for the Blue White Game, and more.

Finally, they transition to the mailbag portion of the show to discuss what fans have on their minds.

They start with a question about the transfer portal. Based on James Franklin's comment from yesterday, fans want to know more about what to expect in terms of players leaving after the spring semester is over. Bauer breaks the conversation down into two types of players that leave the program based on the situation. T-Frank follows up with his thoughts about where to look for the players Bauer describes.

After that, T-Frank clarifies a misconception about the labeling of pass rushers and linebackers in football. Then he projects what players factor into Penn State's picture at that position.

They spend more time addressing the transfer portal with the offensive line in mind, and Bauer cautions that things will get wild the longer that NIL and the portal are unregulated. Nevertheless, he paints a stormy picture of the stability of competition in sports.

Fans also ask about new transfer Demeioun Robinson, Sean Clifford in 2022, and more.

BWI Daily: Penn State prospect Mason Robinson recaps trip to Happy Valley Apr 13, 2022

Show notes

Penn State football has a long and successful track record of recruiting players, especially defenders, from McDonough high school in Maryland. The next in that line is three-star defensive end, Mason Robinson. The junior defender is heading into his senior season, holding an offer from Penn State, and is fresh off a visit to the school. He sits down with the host of the BWI Daily Edition, Thomas Frank Carr, to discuss his time in Happy Valley. They'll also discuss his trip to South Carolina, his game, and T-Frank finishes the interview by getting to know Robinson better.

They start with Robinson's trip last weekend to Penn State's campus to watch practice and meet with the staff. First, Robinson takes a moment to thank the people that hosted him over the weekend. Next, he explains that he wanted to get to know defensive line coach John Scott Jr. more on his fourth trip to the school. The 6-3 defensive end came away impressed with Scott and the program overall. He also gives T-Frank insight into Penn State head coach James Franklin as a coach.

Next, Robinson lets T-Frank know who he met on the trip from a player level. There's a long list of McDonough players on the roster, and Robinson met them all. That includes fifth-year defensive tackle PJ Mustipher, whom he met for the first time. He gives some insight into the conversation they had as well.

Next, they pull back from Penn State and discuss what Robinson looks for from a school. Finally, he explains what environment he and his parents want for his next football destination.

With that in mind, T-Frank asks about Robinson's trip to South Carolina on April 4th. Robinson gives his impressions of the school, the football program, and what he thought of the weather.

After that, they shift to discussing Robinson's game on the field. After discussing some of the Maryland native's favorite pass-rushing moves in their last conversation, they look instead at his approach to the game mentally. First, t-Franks asks Robinson to describe himself as a football player and then discusses what he's seen of the McDonough edge rusher on film. From there, they discuss film study, his father's influence on him, and what he has in store for himself from a physical growth perspective.

Finally, they wrap up with some "get to know you" questions.

Recruiting Show: Penn State lands two key players in four days Apr 12, 2022

Show notes

Penn State football filled several significant holes in the past four days with a commitment in recruiting and one in the transfer portal. That's the main focus of the BWI Daily Recruiting Show, hosted by Greg Pickel and Ryan Snyder. They'll discuss the stories of Demeioun Robinson, the former Maryland defensive end that committed to Penn State on Tuesday, and Class of 2023 quarterback Marcus Stokes, who announced his commitment on Friday. Finally, they'll dig into two more players that have Penn State in their top groups for the 2023 cycle.

They start with the breaking news on Tuesday. Former four-star commit for the Class of 2021, Demeioun Robinson, chose Penn State fairly early in the process after entering the transfer portal late last month. The former top-50 player in the nation spent one season at Maryland before deciding to leave.

Snyder fills in the gaps in his recruiting process, which the COVID-19 Pandemic derailed. He also provides some context about Penn State's contact with Robinson during that time and how that may have expedited his recruitment this spring. Pickel backs that conversation up with quotes from head coach James Franklin about how important Robinson's position was for Penn State in the portal.

From there, they rewind the clock to Friday evening to discuss three-star quarterback Marcus Stokes' commitment to Penn State. The Ponte Vedra Beach, FL native, chose Penn State reasonably early in his recruiting process, and Snyder explains how that came about and how Stokes talks about the Nittany Lions. He also gives insight into where the currently unraked Stokes might land in the next update of On3's recruiting rankings.

Snyder also discusses how quickly Stokes became Penn State's top quarterback target after they moved on from five-star quarterback Dante Moore this winter.

Next, they continue the examination of the Class of 2023 and focus on two players that are still uncommitted. First is four-star edge rusher Jameial Lyons. The Philadelphia native has Penn State on his final list of schools and announced that he'd make his selection of school in August. So who is the team to beat with Lyons? Furthermore, where has the rising senior improved the most since Penn State began recruiting him? Snyder explains that and more.

Finally, they end with a four-star offensive lineman from Michigan, Amir Herring. The West Bloomfield native has Penn State in his final list of schools but do the Nittany Lions stand a real chance? Snyder gives his predictions on where Herring will land and why.

BWI Daily: What to expect from the Penn State defense Apr 11, 2022

Show notes

While things are still taking shape, we have a better sense of what Penn State's defense will look like under defensive coordinator Manny Diaz. The first-year Penn State coordinator spoke with the media last week, and the host of the BWI Daily Edition, Thomas Frank Carr, pieces together the clues to get a rough outline of some of the changes. He uses evidence from head coach James Franklin, Diaz, and linebacker Curtis Jacobs to build a sketch of the differences between the former Miami head coach and former Penn State defensive coordinator Brent Pry.

To find the differences, T-Frank starts with the similarities. First, he recaps what Franklin said about Diaz during the winter and explains how both coaches come from similar backgrounds. Then, he allows Franklin to explain the differences that Diaz is bringing to Happy Valley. Next, T-Frank fills in the context of what Franklin said with some details and examples. Lastly, he leaves you with one element that might be noticeable when watching things this spring's Blue White Game.

Next, he dips into the coverage aspect of defense by asking Diaz what sort of system he believes in. The Penn State explains what he believes in and leaves a big clue about what the Nittany Lions need to be successful next fall.

This nugget leads to a discussion about the transfer portal and a common thread between the Miami defense in 2021 and Penn State's current squad. T-Frank thinks that one aspect of the defensive structure will dictate what sort of coordinator Diaz is on Saturdays. This thought brings him to starting linebacker Curtis Jacobs. How is the adjustment to the new defense going? Jacobs explains what it takes to get everyone on the same page.

Next, T-Frank explains why Jacobs is a crucial player in the defense next fall. It's not just that he's the most experienced linebacker returning, but his skill set is essential for Diaz's defense to thrive. T-Frank details those skills and what will likely be asked of Jacobs next fall.

Lastly, T-Frank takes all of that information and outlines what he expects the new defensive coordinator to be like next season. Will he be aggressive? How will he use his coverage players? While some information is yet to gather, T-Frank expects an aggressive and attacking defense.
