Given all the hype, what are expectations for Bo Bassett?

[Jimmy Cinnabon]

If he goes to Iowa, he will be compared to Spencer.  Lead the program, become the face of the program and win 4 NCAAs individual titles.

I think if he goes anywhere else expectations will be lower but he will still expected to be a 4x AA and multi-time champ.  Realistic?

Maybe he'll just skip wrestling and become Iowa's head coach.

I don't know if anyone is getting realistic expectations of being a 4-time Champ. That is simply unrealistic. 

He will definitely contend. 

How would he do, right now, in 141 or 149?

Bassett is a hammer.  The thing Bassett I see is he may need to physically develop more to be in the hunt for a D1 title.  You can see it in his match against Santaniello at the Clarion Open (a win, but got pancaked twice), and against Kolodzik at Last Chance (got moved around easily). I won't mention the Zepeda match as that was a big size difference, but right now I can see the top D1 guys controlling positions and wearing him down.

He's probably already good enough to AA (see Ashnault win, despite being freestyle). And I actually like the fact that he's seemingly put off weight training to focus on technique, and is consistently testing himself against bigger guys.  He's years away from having to endure a D1 grind so there's plenty of time for that to develop.  But if he doesn't physically develop much beyond where he is now, I can see that being an obstacle his first couple years.
