Basset Recruiting Updates?

[bnwtwg]

TInfoil hat time:

Iowa fans can't wait to get rid of Tom and Terry. Spencer needs a change of coaching scenery. They can't recruit. Tom screwed over VaTech. You know where this is going, and I accurately predicted Bo to Iowa under the same semi-satirical logic.

TnT are going to VaTech after they wrap up their 20th season with the Hawkeyes. It's the ultimate reverse uno card for what happened with the VaTech Five.

Are you saying Robie will become the next Iowa coach???

Believe it or not? Kevin Dresser. Robie goes to Iowa State and hires Gilman who immediately hits the peace pipe and begins competitive half-pipe roller blading at the X games. The circle of life continues harmoniously.

Huge get for both VT and the ACC. Pretty exciting stuff. I hope the Nebraska AXOs aren't too disappointed 

Let's see, When was the last time the ACC got 2 huge recruits out of PA.  And how many NCAA titles did they win.  And how many times was the school on the podium?  Does anybody need a hint?

Are you talking about the Hidlays at NC State?  They did get a podium finish out of their time.  And of course one of them just won a world title.  Not to mention I believe they were technically both ranked outside the top 10 recruits.

The only brothers to be 5x all-Americans...

Every one of Trent's losses on the front side was to Aaron Brooks.  That is bad luck.

And then there is Hayden and Nolf...

That image of Hayden so distraught after that match is burned into my mind; I can picture it crystal clear still

VT fan here and the Hidlays were not even close to a bust lol

[Truzzcat]

2,4,5,3 front side losses (Nolf, Nolf.. pain, Carr, Carter) 3x ncaa champ, 3xncaa champ, 2xncaa champ, 5x ncaa champ
2,5,4,2 front side losses (Brooks, Brooks, Brooks, Brooks) 4x NCAA champ
 

I am not seeing a bust here.

Crazy frontside losses! 8 losses to 29 NCAA championships on the front side.  that's an average of over 3 titles per loss.  Carr is the least credentialed NCAA loss of the brothers.

And then there is this:

I watched that during worlds and showed my wife after explaining why is it hit even harder that weekend, said I hope our kiddos can grow up to be that way one day. 
 

It seems like every year a new layer is added to that interview making it even more complex, and why it is one of my favorite ever, sport or otherwise.

Great stuff, and you're right about the layers being added as he and Trent's stories continue.  I also love how he is complimentary of Kem.

Will never forget this interview- class act and love that kid. He's been around the area a couple times for some camps/clinics and very much walks the walk.

I'm sure there are a lot more, but these are just the last 12 months that I could think of off the top of my head.
 

Kellen Wolbert isn’t even in college yet

younger brother Keegan will test the college waters as he is registered for 125 at the shorty Hitchcock

Knox techs his way through that bracket. I think Keegan will be too small for any of the bigger HS/decent D1 kids

Count out "John Doe" at your peril...

Isn't he like a legit 110 lbs? Something like that? I feel this is a terrible idea . . .

He was 113 at S32 with day before weigh in. I think he probably walks around at 120-125. I think wrestling at your walk around weight is never a bad thing if you accept the size discrepancy and just want to focus on getting better

That makes more sense, I was thinking about him wrestling 99 lbs at Cadets  a couple months ago and figured he wasn't close to actually being 125 lbs walk around. . . didn't make sense to me

Big Brother Bo has been doing it for damn near four years now.

and Big Brother Melvin won S32 at 165, even though his best weight is apparently 153 (70 kg), so he couldn't have been cutting too hard.

Those dudes were so damned tough. Should've had at least a couple titles between them.
