Mass exodus at Penn State? Buckeyes keep gaining momentum

Despite finishing with a 9-4 record last season, Penn State appeared to be a program with a lot of momentum in terms of recruiting. The Nittany Lions got off to a very good start with their 2020 class and appeared to be a lock to finish in the top-10 of the 247Sports Composite team rankings. However, this week alone they have had a trio of 4-star prospects de-commit, and have fallen to the No. 20 class in the land. This is on the heels of several players transferring from the program in the weeks and months following the 2018 season. Is this just an unlucky stretch for head coach James Franklin and PSU? Or is there more at play behind the scenes? Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to discuss that, plus: * Ohio State has the No. 8 class in the country so far for 2020. How high might head coach Ryan Day and the Buckeyes finish this cycle? Are OSU fans looking at a top-5 class? Perhaps top-3? * What are thoughts thus far on Ohio State first-year quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator Mike Yurcich ? * The Buckeye coaches have not said sophomore Justin Fields will be the starting QB. They are saying it will be a competition with fourth-year junior Gunnar Hoak , who transferred from Kentucky last month. What is to be made of that? All of that and more is coming at you on the Friday extravaganza.
