Did Iowa fans enjoy Mocco versus Mirasola?

Not sure if you were joking (and it is ok if you weren't):

Miller: undeclared, but is brother to Bo Basset, so people think there is an Iowa lean.

James: Was VTech, but PSU poached.

Duke: PSU all the way.

 

Also kinda crazy all the PSU fans who are using age to tear tear kids down.  PSU has had a ton of "older guys" in recent years.  Some younger guys too, but plenty of grandpas.

Something change between his commitment and now?

And if he flips to Iowa, will that be Iowa poaching him?

???

Are you saying Bo Bassett's brother, Melvin Miller committed to PSU?  Are you sure?  When did this happen?

As far as I know, he is uncommitted.  Basset made sure to say that when he chose a school, that it would be a place where his brothers would also want to wrestle, and that he would like the three of them to be on the same college team.  Not a guarantee that either goes to Iowa, but theoretically their feelings were taken into account when Bo committed.

I think you have Melvin Miller mixed up with someone else. He is a sophomore and has not committed anywhere.

No I'm not sure. The internet could certainly be lying to me, I've just seen that he committed to PSU...2-3 months ago.

Well...maybe it's not true, but I was looking to see where it was likely he'd wrestle and I found this...a while ago.

Melvin Miller, the nation's top-ranked high school wrestling recruit in the Class of 2027, has committed to wrestle for Penn State University. Miller, a standout from Bishop McCort Catholic High School in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, is widely regarded as one of the most promising young talents in the sport .

His decision to join Penn State aligns with the program's reputation for developing elite wrestlers under head coach Cael Sanderson. The Nittany Lions have a storied history of success in collegiate wrestling, making them a natural fit for Miller's aspirations .

Miller has already demonstrated his potential on the national stage. In April 2025, he reached the finals of the U20 bracket at the U.S. Open Wrestling Championships, where he faced off against PJ Duke, the No. 2 overall recruit in the Class of 2025. Although Miller fell short with an 8-5 decision, his performance against older competition highlighted his skill and competitiveness .

At Bishop McCort, Miller has been a standout performer, competing in weight classes ranging from 144 to 160 pounds. His commitment to Penn State adds to the program's impressive roster of young talent and reinforces its status as a powerhouse in collegiate wrestling.

 

 

 

Though...this says "signed," and...I don't think he could sign anywhere yet.

That is clearly a fake news AI generated article.  There are zero other sources saying Melvin Miller committed to Penn State.

Fake news.

The reason some PSU fans are dunking on Iowa over the Duke-Miller match is bc the perception is that Iowa is the leading candidate for Miller's services.

Yeah...I generally zone out to all the PSU-Iowa petty nonsense. 

I'm skeptical that Miller is an Iowa lean because Bo is though. His cousins are the Gibson's right? He was blindsided with the Bassett family(though I guess Oher did end up with Ole' Miss). 

I'm not that invested in...any of this. I saw people saying he was going to Penn State, I looked it up...this is what I've got. If it's not true...it won't impact my life.

Be skeptical, I suppose.  Bo said when he was committing that it was a decision based on where his brothers (Keegan and Melvin) would be comfortable as well.  Not a guarantee, obviously.

I found an anonymous post on Facebook in the minnows group saying he committed to psu.  Did you post that?  It’s dated March 23.   It doesn’t appear to have any comments or traction.

Yes. I go on Pat Minow's facebook all the time to post where kids I have absolutely no connection or relation to are going to Colleges I also have no connection or insider knowledge of.

No. I do follow Pat Minnow on any platform...much less Facebook.

Where else “on the internet” did you hear he committed.  If Google found only that?

Oh Jesus Christ... are you that insecure about Iowa Wrestling? I don't remember where I saw it.

I saw a comment...I know I DIDN'T see it on a platform I don't go on or from anyone I don't follow and saw that he was going to Penn State, went to ChatGTP, it said he was going to Penn State, threw out a couple sources...I assumed the Pennsylvania guy who's cousin is on Penn State...was going to Penn State. I know that's a huge leap and pretty crazy Penn State would get the top guy in the Country.

Wrestling info on the internet isn’t like porn where you can get it from 50,000 sources and not remember what links you were clicking.  There’s only a small number of sources.  I figured a guy with your stature would have remembered is all.  
 

Or maybe you're the anonymous post.    You’re the one arguing with half the board over “internet rumors”.

High School Wrestler Melvin Miller Commits to Wrestle for Either The Melvins or Steve Miller Band

Johnstown, PA — After weeks of speculation and mounting pressure from the classic rock and sludge metal communities, two-time state qualifier and high school wrestling phenom Melvin Miller shocked fans Tuesday morning by announcing he will be committing to wrestle for either the Steve Miller Band or The Melvins.

“I’ve narrowed it down to the two musical groups that best align with my wrestling philosophy: chaos and cosmic flight,” said Miller, wearing a dual-logo hoodie featuring both a psychedelic horse and a screaming sludge goblin. “The Steve Miller Band has the air of a ‘space cowboy’ I vibe with. But The Melvins bring that raw, unshowered mat energy. I’m torn.”

Sources say both bands have offered Miller full ride backstage passes and exclusive rights to body slam roadies during sound checks. “We think Melvin could bring a new layer of theatricality to our shows,” said Buzz Osborne of The Melvins, mid-way through deadlifting an amplifier. “We’ve been looking for a wrestler who screams Midwestern menace.”

Meanwhile, Steve Miller himself expressed cautious optimism. “We’re more of a mellow groove, but if Melvin can souffle someone into the fifth dimension during ‘Fly Like an Eagle,’ I say let the kid cook.”

Miller’s coach, Bill "Biceps" Bassett, said the decision was ultimately about style. “Melvin doesn’t just pin opponents—he performs. One time he hit a guy with a flying squirrel and shouted ‘Abracadabra’ mid-air. That’s not normal. That’s showmanship.”

While the final decision is expected at a press conference scheduled next school year, industry insiders say Miller is also weighing a surprise third offer from the WWF-era Macho Man tribute band Ooh Yeah!

At press time, Miller was seen bench-pressing a fog machine while muttering lyrics from both “Stoner Witch” and “Jungle Love” in what analysts are calling a “deeply conflicted groove state.”

I hate to break this to you, but he doesn't have a cousin on Penn State either.   Anyway, Melvin Miller hasn't committed anywhere...yet.
