Summary

It's June, which means it's time to start ramping up for the season with way-too-early Top 25 lists. We talk about the best one that came out this week, which just happens to be from 247Sports. Sean Fitz and Tyler Donohue talk about the Nittany Lions' No. 5 ranking and bring in 247Sports National Analyst Brandon Marcello to see why he had them higher than anyone on the list. The guys also take a couple recruiting questions and skim some recruiting notes as well.
