Is Ohio St still in the running?  

Buckeyes are due for a, "monster" class. It's been awhile...

They should try hard and get Joey and Fred to come along with Waters.

They are definitely in on them. Hope Waters can help recruit.

26' is good with Dom and Waters.  And, they might add another big 26' kid. 

If they get Burnett, Shepherd and Singer from the 27' class..... Watch out. 

They almost got Wolbert!

From what I gather reading the tea leaves. Lightly, they'd take his commitment but aren't pushing too hard. Nebraska and VT are both pushing hard.

Wasn’t VT not on Miller’s remaining list?

edit: nvm forgot they were off then back on

I respect your opinion, it is a bit hard to compare for me because of Bo's attempts at senior level tournaments where Melvin has not. Melvin's best win is nothing compared to Bo. Melvin's best opponent is PJ Duke and wrestled him tough.

Well, Miller's a couple years younger(I believe he's 2 years younger)... so I wouldn't expect him to have the same caliber of pelts, but just how he Wrestled Duke was... incredible. The way he scored on Duke? MAYBE the greatest year by a HS Wrestler ever?

 

I don't know, maybe it depends on where each goes. I'd argue Bassett would be best served going to PSU and Miller to Iowa(based on their stereotypes for how they train). They've got very different styles... but I like Miller's better.

There is another school (technically 3 total but I think it's down to 2 realistically) you didn't list that he's still looking at although it does seem that Nebraska has the momentum

Fair. VT may be in just as good of a position to unseat PSU in 2-3 years. Whichever school they go to, it's going to make the NCAA's real fun in coming years.

The VT board poster said VT has offered Bo more $ than Nebraska. Not sure it’s true though or the poster is being dramatic

Miller's upside it higher than Bo's.  That's not taking anything away from Bo.  He's damn good and will be in college.  That just says how good Miller will be.  I just want them to go to anywhere but PSU and OSU.

With the level of media and fan scrutiny of all three, I can easily see a major crash out.

That guys a decent poster, no insider but he doesn't just throw stuff out there so if he posted that he heard it somewhere. Mole also mentioned the staff felt like they were in a good spot at Elite 8 duals. We always do well with visitors so having the last one might come into play.

Side note: Rothermel was on campus as well and loved it, would be surprised if he went elsewhere.
