They start the show by discussing the flurry of offers that Penn State has sent out this past week. While they don't run down all the names, Snyder explains why there are so many names that come out this time of year and how the process works. From there, he and T-Frank discuss what these offers mean and how things have changed over the years. But T-Frank wants to know more and asks why things have changed to the point that they have. Is social media driving the need to offer kids? Is it the competition? Snyder explains what he's seen in the evolution of Penn State's offers not just in the last 20 years but since the pandemic.

Finally, they discuss the junior day list for Saturday. Penn State is hosting roughly 40 prospects this weekend and Snyder has picked out the five most intriguing names that fans should know. He and T-Frank discuss each player and what they're so interesting to Snyder.

One of the players, Wyomissing prospect Caleb Brewer, sparks a conversation about where Penn State focuses its best commits each cycle. Is the reason that the team can't find a steady supply of defensive tackle prospects because they put those players on the offensive side of the ball? T-Frank and Snyder disagree and discuss the topic at length.
