  1. Congressman Brandon Gill, as shown in the OP, among other current and former congresspeople, and that’s of course not counting the numerous Twitter “influencers” saying similar things
  2. Recency bias maybe? Looks like in the 2024 class they had 4 of the top 10 (including #1) and in 2025 they have 2 of the top 10 (1 & 2). So Bo is the first Flo #1 that they haven’t gotten in 3 years.
  3. Nothing like finally getting a match people had been wanting to see for years at 630 AM with 3 fans in the stands
  4. Congrats, I think you’ve taken the lead on who’s started the most Bassett threads
  5. I guess @Bulldog won’t have to eat another hat
  6. The OP of this thread is pretty good evidence IMO. But I guess we’d have to define what exactly an “absorbent” amount of money means.
  7. I agree he can’t be compared to Soto, but not because he is a student athlete. Because Soto actually might help bring in comparable revenue to what he’s being paid. For example Soto can probably be compared to Arch Manning or some college football player making millions in NIL. But no college wrestler is bringing in a million in revenue per year. It’s great for the athletes, but this is basically a charity endeavor. I wonder how long it can last.
  8. Curious how much Bob offered him
  9. He always looks great in the regular season though. Would have been nice to see him against O’Toole
  10. this may be true for Taylor, but I don’t think it’s been proven yet. Most of their guys are pretty much the same as they’ve been. They just have a better team thanks to the portal. Has anyone shown a noticeable improvement except for maybe Surber?
  11. So kinda like Buchanan, Teemer and Parco?
  12. Seeing message board rumors that he is announcing tomorrow? Where we thinking?
  13. At least when the new facility was announced, probably before then
  14. lol nice ellipsis use in honor of our old friend
  15. Agree. Although I guess assuming SVN gets a medical for last year he will still have one year of eligibility when Bo is a true freshman
  16. Man you’re really tapping into Minnow’s ego by making him your #1 question about this. As to #2, as long as he can stay away from Blaze and Duke I’m not sure there will be one to do it
  17. I don’t think the Brands brothers are (or were even if Bassett didn’t commit) going anywhere unless they choose to. Which IMO might have been in around 5-7 years anyway.
  18. I can’t imagine he will get pushed much if any harder than he has been by his dad and himself already. The dude already works out at 4:55am every day. I’m more worried about has he maxed out his potential already, which is still at the level of beating past national champs in FS, so of course not too shabby. But the last time we saw him wrestle D1 competition (albeit as a HS sophomore) he squeaked out a win over a guy that is 2-4 this year.
  19. This certainly seems likely. I wonder if we see some ORS’s between them then
  20. Blaze is a freshman next year right?
  21. oh honestly I would’ve guessed it was the other way around with people guaranteeing that Lee would tech him in freestyle or something. 57kg RBY in freestyle is a lot different than 133 (or even ~130 if we were making up potential catch weights) pound RBY in folkstyle.
  22. Did he know what par terre was this time? What were the bets?
  23. Ideal scenario for Iowa: Bassett freshman for 2027 season Spencer wins gold in 2028 then retires from competing, joins staff as an assistant for 2029 season Spencer becomes HC for Bassett’s senior year in 2030, barring any redshirts or NCAA adding years of eligibility. The Brands brothers turn 57 in a couple months, retiring in the next five years or so certainly seems likely, although if somehow Bassett has a chance for four titles, I doubt they would leave before he graduates
  24. The whole thing was a little odd. First of all the teams were about to shake hands and then the announcer says “hold on we have an announcement!!” But then Flo goes to the prerecorded video and when they come back Bassett seems like he had already been talking and was wearing the Iowa shirt so I wasn’t sure if we missed something.
