He wants to be the next Yianni D in terms of being a 4x NCAA champ.  Marches to the beat of his own drum...I bet he ends up at Cornell.

Then he will go to OSU.  🤠

We are talking about Bassett because that is the social media latform his parents created for him.

 

Blazes parents must not need to internet hype.   But I agree, why are we not talking about Blaze he is ranked above Bassett.

The bassett hype while super warranted perplexes me a bit. He is spectacular but when you stack up his wins vs Duke,Blaze,Forrest,Lockett they are just not the same. Yes, he is dominant against his age level, but the Ashnault win to my knowledge is his only real senior level win whereas those other guys have beaten multiple active all americans/national champs and in regard to Forrest and blaze haven been at the toughest high school weight for like 2-3 years.

I think Bassett's wins at the senior level are probably on par with Duke. Blaze has the best wins, followed probably by Forrest then Lockett.

I don't think there are crazy margins by any means Duke did beat (Lewan, Yahya, Webster, Jacques) Ashnault is on paper better than all of those but I really don't know how much he was training before last chance all of those guys are active so I rate them a bit more.

Yeah, that's fair. But you do get more chances to beat guys when you are in the wrestle backs. The weight class that Bassett made the finals in for last chance had Jaydin Eierman, Ian Parker, Carter Young, Dean Heil, Michael McGee, Jordan Williams. He also beat fellow high schooler Aden Valencia. For context, Aden Valencia won the Henri Delglane beating Peiman Biabani (former U20 champ) and Khamzat Arsamerzouev (former U20 bronze) and that weight class also had Nahshon Garrett, Anthony Ashnault and Matthew Kolodzik who failed to medal.

Very true I should Include Valencia because hes been on the senior level I guess because of his age I look of him as more of a peer of Bo's but hes certainly done enough and in a lot of cases more than the guys I mentioned for PJ. I do believe most of Adens credentials were at 61kg but I don't think hes a particularly undersized 65kg and Bo is not a big 65kg as of yet.
