BUMP

Didn’t someone say they would eat a hat if tOSU wasn’t in the top 4? Maybe Bo wants to see that

FWIW, in just a quick perusal of HR/GIA and BWI/HVI, the PSU fan comments are much more negative. One guy called him an “attention whore” and another said “his whole recruiting process has been a farce”

They refuse? Why?

I’d be shocked if Bassett’s dad was trashing Iowa on Facebook. Ross committing to OSU and the timing of Bassett’s announcement do have me leaning it’s them though.

They probably did, but doubt that gets him to commit there. Minnow did say pretty definitively that he’s not going to Rutgers and I think he does have actual contacts there

Did Minnow actually say $5 mil? I saw him say “record setting” but hadn’t seen that. That seems a bit far fetched. Not to mention “record setting” doesn’t really mean anything because none of the amounts are on the record

Slumlord Bob is rich, but I’m not sure if he’s rich enough to spend $20 million on one dude. Paycom Chad is though

I see him as a 4x pretty high AA, but not sure if he will win a title, especially with a lot of the guys that could be in his way. Ironically maybe a Daton Fix type, which of course would still be a great career. What I’m nervous about with him is how much more he can improve, considering he already has an entire wrestling facility in his basement and great workout partners.

Why? Simply pushing is not trying to score

I was thinking OK State originally, but the timing initially threw me off of that idea. But the Ross commitment around the same time has me back to thinking it is.

Wrestling only?

Vombaur another TD and RT, lets him up and gets another TD to win 12-5

Vombaur leading Olivieri 5-4 1:20 left

8-2 final for Shawver

No Poz, no Flynn. The guy Rutgers sent out at 197 was hanging with Salazar for awhile though. Shawver leading Wells 3-1 in the third

Minnow claiming a “record setting NIL deal that could change the fate of a program.” Which if true would imply not PSU since Bassett wouldn’t change much there. He also says he’s not going to Rutgers

Yes he gave a recent interview saying he was now aiming to return “end of February”

The other option with the timing is that slumlord Bob was disappointed in Friday’s showing so he upped his offer

Seems like a lot of “or”s, hopefully we get all the anticipated matches

I wasn’t thinking PSU was likely before but based on the timing I kind of agree. I’ve also heard in the past that allegedly Cael has given expiration dates on his offers which could be the case here

That’s weird, he just recently said in an interview he definitely wouldn’t commit before NCAA’s

https://www.wrestlestat.com/compare/dual/34/iowa/57/oklahoma-state I think I’d agree with these winners, maybe one less bonus point for OSU for a 1 point win Spratley Dec Cruz 3-0 OSU Ayala Dec Wittcraft/Hughes 3-3 Jamison Dec Block 6-3 OSU (wrestlestat has Jamison with a major which could happen) Parco Dec Young 6-6 (Iowa could have a shot for bonus here) Teemer Dec Fish 9-6 Iowa (Iowa could get bonus if Fish tries something stupid) Caliendo Dec Amine 12-6 Hamiti Dec Kennedy 12-9 (some may pick bonus here but they wrestled twice in 2023 and Hamiti won 9-6 and 4-3) Plott Dec Arnold 12-12 Buchanan Dec Surber 15-12 Iowa Hendrickson maj Kueter 16-15 OSU I feel like the only match that wouldn’t be considered a pretty significant upset if the other guy won is 165, as Caliendo’s two wins over Amine have been in SV. Could come down to bonus points

No worries. Iowa really did get screwed by the 2020 cancellation, they likely would have won that year in addition to 2020, which would have been the only time since 2011 that PSU went 2 years without winning. So considering 2021 was “only” 4 seasons ago, that does kinda show how quick things can change with PSU now being so dominant.

So maybe the question will be can PSU get 7. I’d pick no, but it’s possible.
