Bassett's Snap

[jackwebster]

This might be my dumbest idea ever, but hear me out. 'Member when RBY started hiding his left arm when he wrestled DeSanto, taking away his near-arm, far-leg dump? This tactic essentially shut down all of Desanto's offense.

Is there a similar tactic that could mitigate  the number of Bassett's snap/go-behind tds? Sure, you'd still have to deal with pace, a dozen leg attacks, pace, scrambling, pace, etc. . . . but but but?

Na Bassett is only a three time champ so far.

Guys, Bassett is wrestling HS kids and he should be moving into hisJunior year in  college. There is a reason his dad got suspended and he can’t wrestle at States.

How old is Bo Bassett?

This question is reserved for Greenwave only. I want to know how old a Junior in college is supposed to be.

…and it wasn’t because of his age

• Yes he was recruiting out of guidelins

 

20 year old High schools Seniors going to be 21 in August is not the norm.

How old is a typical Junior in college wrestling, Mr. Green?

Wow. If he goes on missionary work for 2 years and comes back, takes and Olympic and RS, he can be a 25 year old Fr

Spratley just grabbed and held Bassett's collar-tie hand a thousand times:

Speaking of, Pico had a wicked snap back in the day. Bassett and Pico would be a fun fantasy match. 

Ironside has said that the best defense to hard snaps is constant forward pressure. I say downblock and counterattack. Shrugs, deadlifts, and neck flexions are also helpful.

When did Bassett start college? Because I don't think he has, so take this crap about some high school kid to the high school board, you weirdo.

Bet. I tried to make it clear that my post was more-or-less in jest, but my words failed me. Apologies.

Re forward pressure: Being lanky and slow, I'd be afraid of getting my head thrown through the mat.

Other than just staying disciplined and controlling/pushing off the collar tie wrist/hand while keeping my elbow glued to my side (like Spratley), I like the suggestion above of going with it and attacking below the knee, a la Nolf (inside step) or Vito (outside step).
