He's 18 not 17

The best we can hope for is it will become the next UAE but odds are your assessment is correct

Bo is 18. Bday was in January

I think it's dependent on a few things falling into place. Bo gets them Melvin Miller. That's a stud right there. Can the momentum also bring in the Raney twins and Jax? I've been following this class and everything I've read or heard was Jax is the prize for Cael and DT. If the snagging Bo sparks an Iowa recruiting tsunami then yes, totally worth it

Fair on that but it isn't as if that poster isn't an insider. And the timeline suggests it's plausible. Originally the announcement was set for later in the school year (April?) and then Iowa gets spanked and miraculously he pushes his decision to a week later? Regardless, happy for Bo and his family

I'm not saying the kids aren't getting compensated. I'm saying Cael is saying he's not getting into bidding wars for a recruit.

They're not being posted. Corby went back and forth with a poster on the Oklahoma State forum. If you'd like I can send you the link if you'd like to read it

IDK, I might go BWI full time solely because they know how to streamline their topics

This...Have seen one consistent narrative on this. Oklahoma state was the school. Iowa gets demolished in the dual. They immediately raise the ante. Despite what was said on FRL the deals weren't comparable. Screenshots of Bill's convo being passed around stating he had concerns about Iowa and DT had to raise the ante. Didn't happen. He's now off to Iowa.

There's another narrative running around that Taylor couldn't match Iowa's offer. Or maybe it's the same narrative and the brothers were part of that offer.

Someone suggested $1.3mil and then Carter posted something about people not knowing the half of it with a wink emoji. That's as much as I know. Just want to stay consistent here and say kudos to any of these wrestlers that secure a sizable deal.

I would've thought the same a week ago but the trending narrative is Iowa Bob's ego is in such shambles that he'll sell all his earning just at the chance to sniff Cael's jock strap

a) I don't think Bo is going to be some world beater. He'll have success at the next level but if he wins 2 titles I'd be surprised. Angelo is the best wrestler in the Hawkeye program at the moment to have a legendary career. @VakAttack if you'd like to bookmark this and dunk on me after Bassett's 3rd title I'll gladly take the beatdown my friend. b) Bo's greatest asset is his marketing and hype. If his recruitment hype helps the Raney brothers across the line and he somehow manages to get Jax in Iowa City (who is the better college prospect) then he'll be the most important ingredient to Iowas success in the latter part of this decade

I think this deserves another Bassett thread.

Cael in an interview this week addressed this very thing and said, "we are not going get anybody because of NIL money, that just goes against what we believe. We're always going to be a little slow to change, we're not very worldly as far as we approach things as a staff as a program..." Later he adds, "but at the same time you're going to take care of your kids. Penn State has a great alumni network, very loyal people." A little double speak but the general gist I got is PSU isn't going to get into bidding wars for a recruit.

That originated from Oklahoma State forum. Corby going back and forth with posters there. And I apologize to Willie if this is incorrect but it was stated a few times that on his podcast he said the NIL deals were not comparable

It was definitely about the money and there is nothing wrong with that

WKN, there's no point my friend. Just walk away. We have 15 more Cinnabon Bassett thread to go this week

Because it was

Both Hammer and Fly are MIA. I'm getting suspicious

@Tripnsweep, had a nice in depth conversation with a committee member of the Democratic party from the State of New York. Lives in a Blue county. When discussing the current situation the DNC has found themselves in at no point did the theory of "they're just dumb Trump voters" arise. If anything someone like yourself would be noted down as "part of the problem."

Oh yes. A masterpiece on the current state of our educational system.

I am on the McEnelly bandwagon. Love watching this young man wrestle

I don't care what anyone wants to believe. Aaron Brooks is taller than 4 centimeters and 3 millimeters
