Recruiting insider and host Ryan Snyder starts the show discussing the Northwestern visitor list with Sean Fitz, publisher of Blue White Illustrated. They go through the important players that made the trip to Happy Valley, including Jaylen Harvey, Eric Lee, and Rodney Lora, whom they discussed last week. Hear what they had to say about the impression Lora made and how the visit went for those recruits on a lousy weather day.

Next, they dig into the Penn State coaching travel schedule. The Nittany Lions have augmented the bye week schedule this year, which Fitz describes. After that, he and Snyder discuss which coaches will visit players this week, including several essential prospects committed to other schools. Can Penn State flip Cam Seldon? They detail which coaches will see Seldon and what other important players will take priority this upcoming weekend.

The conversation about Seldon and West Virginia commit Rodney Gallagher spins into a discussion about the coaching movement in college football, with several coaches already losing their jobs this past weekend.

Lastly, Snyder and Fitz discuss a recent update by On3 national recruiting reporter Chad Simmons. Simmons caught up with key uncommitted prospects in the Northeast region. Where does Penn State stand with left tackle Samson Okunlola? They dive into Simmons' update to find out which players in New England the Nittany Lions have a realistic shot with.
