Penn State football recruiting fireworks! The latest on DeAndre Cook, Liam Andrews, TA Cunningham Jul 04, 2023

Show notes

Penn State football had a quiet Fourth of July weekend, despite landing defensive line commitment DeAndre Cook. Cook, who is a 3-star prospect, projects as a defensive tackle, with solid attributes that can help him develop. The real fireworks are going to be delayed, as Penn State was expected to land a few other intriguing prospects that could have made for a busy holiday. Those players held off, but when should we expect those players to commit? Locked On Nittany Lions host Zach Seyko and Penn State Rivals' recruiting specialist Dylan Callaghan-Croley analyze Cook's recruiting profile, go through the next set of priority prospects and when they will commit including: Liam Andrews, T.A. Cunningham, Xavier Porter, Alex Taylor, Jaylen Harvey, Nigel Smith, Nick Marsh, Benedict Umeh, and others, and how NIL is impacting Penn State football's recruiting efforts. Plus, Penn State has its next baseball coach, Mike Gambino. The two debate if Gambino can turn the Penn State baseball team into a consistent contender.

Show notes

The Penn State Nittany Lions have hit a cold spot when it comes to recruiting, with projected losses in the recruitments of Benedict Umeh, Nick Marsh, and Deyvid Palepale, while missing out on prospects they had a strong relationship with like Jamonta Waller, and Amaris Williams. It begs the question, how concerned should Penn State be? Locked On Nittany Lions host Zach Seyko and Locked On recruiting analyst Brian Smith team up to discuss how likely Penn State's 2024 recruiting class could fall out of the top 10 rankings and where they will end up, which prospects they will try to land commitments from with some of their preferred targets unavailable, if Penn State can flip any recruits down the line, and if the state of Florida has dried up as far as high school recruiting for Penn State.
