Pretty sure Bassett was #4 P4P rankings on Flo, and Jax was #2, but for ratings they just made Bo #1 for Class of 26. Flo is a joke. Bo is going to be good. I wish him nothing but the best. But it won't be the Brands that makes him better! Good thing he is self motivated!

Wolbert is going to be really good! Especially with the coaching OK State has now.
Yes, Jax becomes even more important now. We need a star in the lighter weights. Ross and Jax would be a double bonanza and add Wolbert and anyone else we get would make our 2026 class super. I am taking the loss of Bo much better because the day before we got a potential great HWT. However, if we don't get Jax we won't gain on Penn. St. I do think Bo will be great for Iowa because he is an attacking machine.
Jax is a must! Vilasenor and Sidun in class of 27! Adam Waters would be a great pick up for 84! Missing out on Bo is not that big if DT can land more like Ross. Block was a huge recruit for Iowa too, hopefully it works out better for Bo.
That’s he’s going to be elite. The next AWA animal. They all develop slow. Ben takes his time.
I mean a couple months back I don't think any of us thought we had a chance at Bo. I always assumed he was PSU to lose. So I'm not troubled by him going to Iowa bc it's not PSU. Now Jax has always been one I felt was ours to lose so does the Bo to Iowa help or hurt our changes with Jax?
Someone on here earlier said the staff feels good about their chances with Jax.
In December, we were confident. It moved like the stock market after that and solidified on us.
Then comes a corporate raider with lots of money.
They do, but the same applies! Is slumlord Bob going to buy Jax too?
PSU doesn’t have to pay like that and I hope we develop a program that doesn’t have to either. I want to become a place to develop wrestlers not a haven of hired guns that get their s**t pushed in come nationals or a match against PSU.
I’m hoping the program wants the same trajectory too.
We don’t either and most won’t ever.
Bassett made decision and a bet on himself. Not a bad bet, but not a great decision.
PSU pays, everybody pays. The money is the worst motivation when you step on the line.
