Recruiting Show: London Montgomery earns offer, Penn State's recruiting staff continues to grow

There are very few times that Penn State recruiting is truly quiet. Spring break is one of them. But, despite the slowdown inside the Lasch Building, the BWI Daily Recruiting Show still has plenty to discuss. Reporter Greg Pickel and recruiting insider Ryan Snyder detail some news and notes on the show.They start with the news that Penn State offered a scholarship to four-star running back London Montgomery. The Scranton Prep running back was named to the On300 last week, but Snyder didn’t think the interest was fully there from the Nittany Lions at the time. He details his conversations with Montgomery and then explains the running back landscape in 2023 to try and glean some insight.The next topic of conversations deals with off-field personnel. Snyder reported yesterday that the team is hiring a new recruiting assistant. Who is Rashad Rich, and what does he do? Snyder gives his background information on the hire, first reported by footballscoop.com. The conversation quickly shifts away from Rich to Penn State as a whole. How much more do they plan to grow the staff? Snyder gives the target numbers for recruiting that he’s heard. He also gives the current staff size and compares it to the rest of the Big Ten.Next, they pass along information about movement in the transfer portal. Penn State’s efforts to land a defensive end in the portal took a hit this weekend. See which prospect or prospects chose a different university before Penn State could get them on campus for an official visit. Snyder then tells Pickel which portal targets are still lined up for a visit this spring.Lastly, they break down some position changes in the Class of 2023. Athlete Neeo Avery is moving from tight end to defensive end in his recruitment, leaving the door open for tight end prospect Andrew Rappleyea. Despite committing to Michigan a few months ago, Snyder explains how the door is still open for him to become a Nittany Lion.JOIN Blue White Illustrated: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/join/?plan=annualSUBSCRIBE to Blue White Illustrated on YouTube and enable alerts - new highlights and videos uploaded regularly: https://www.youtube.com/c/bluewhiteillustratedvideo?sub_confirmationBookmark our homepage: https://www.on3.com/teams/penn-state-nittany-lions/Subscribe to BWI Magazine and Newsletters: http://bluewhiteonline.comDownload our podcasts: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/LRL3155877513?selected=DSVV2664982394Like us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/BlueWhiteIllustrated/Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/PennStateOn3Sound effects obtained from https://www.zapsplat.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
