All things we're going to find out. Iowa gets Melvin and Keegan with his commitment. Now who comes next? Jax? Raney x2? Mocco?
Iowa needs a LOT to get back in the conversation of beating PSU in the next 4-6 years.

We need Jax, and hopefully few more pieces. Raneys maybe out of equation for us now. How about Coby Merrill, can one of Ross or Coby get to 197 ? Do we have a chance with Adam Waters and Domenic Munaretto?
No. If did I’d want them to go to Iowa.So you wish bad things on them for their career?
Well, the upside is that we don't have to hear about it anymore. I do wonder if he’ll excel past ADS who was high volume but never quite made it to that highest tier.
This kind of NIL can’t be good for our (non-revenue) sport. Paying a recruit more than most coaches including his own coach, ow. On principle I’m glad it wasn’t us paying this kid 5 million bucks.

Heard OSU offered Jax a pretty hefty price and more than 95% of coaches in the sport make. And, nobody knows what BO was offered and he himself said all the offers were in the same ballpark. I won’t say what I heard for Jax because it’s all gossip, just like the $5m figure
I heard Jax got offered a cattle ranch in Talihina and box seats at the BPS Turnpike concert in April
LOL. You realize that 95% of college wrestling coaches make under $300k, right? So over 5 years, Jax was offered $60k a year. What's the problem with that.
A couple questions. What did I say that got me banned from your forum? How long is the ban? Shouldn't there be certain criteria in place or is it your perogative.
He absolutely was
This sounds exactly like something you would say after the fact.
Review my many posts on the subject of Bo on the PSU board. I always had a bad feeling about the Bassetts with regard to being too money centered going back 8 months ago. You don't get $5M unless you invite the conversation. I don't begrudge them taking the $5M. I just would have played the ending differently then they did.
You realize NIL deals are year to year, right? So, I am talking about what “I heard” he was offered for one year. And, yes, the offer I heard was higher than the number you referenced above. I don’t have a problem at all. I guess you missed my point - I said folks shouldn’t throw silly numbers around when they really don’t know. Half of these rumors regarding bags are coming from coaches.
Where will Cody M. fit in if Ross and/or Coby go 197? Cody feels like he's the real deal.
Ross has no shot at 197. He is already at 6-3 and 225 as a HS junior. If he redshirts, he has three years to bulk up to 250-260. That's a pretty easy reach three years out.
Iowa fan coming in here defending their NIL numbers was not on my bingo card. lol. Whatever he gets paid, good for Bo. Doesn’t matter what we pay for Jax, I would like him to be a cowboy. Every schools pay players. Every one. College sports changed long back.
Sorta right. But if you think one year deals are what’s happening, good luck in life.
Also, coaches aren’t carrying or handing off bags.
It's possible his natural weight is close to 200 and he's bulked up for football. If he doesn't plan to play football in college, he could move down if those things are true. But yeah just from the eye test, it doesn't look like 197 would be easy
Never said coaches are handing out bags — it’s called reading comprehension.
I know they are not one year deals but they pay out after each year. I am not sure why PennState1985 decided to take the $300k figure and divide us by 5. The high figure I heard for Jax was for 1 year, not 5.
Isn't this slumlord Bob guy pretty old? Like Iowa's recruiting success right now rides purely on him donating to fund portal guys and recruits. What happens when he kicks the bucket and his family takes what's left and head for the hills.
There’s lots left and nobody is playing that waiting game.
Iowa has funds, that won’t change much.
Same could be said for Chad Richison.
Add up the NIL for Hendrickson, Hamiti, Amine and Fish. Oh, and Taylor.
Last year at this time, Okie State was also undefeated and ranked 2nd in the country. The only thing different from last year’s team and this year’s team are the four portal guys. All paid for.
All the schools are doing it — Okie State, Penn State, Michigan and Iowa. The only difference is everyone hates Iowa so for some reason they see it different.
If you guys want to believe Iowa is paying Bassett $1m a year so be it. I heard OSU offered Jax a crazy number as well (and, not even close to what Iowa offered). And, Ross was all in on Iowa until recently. A reasonable person would conclude the money offered by both programs was comparable for Ross (or else he would be at Iowa)—- which is consistent to what Bassett also said for his recruitment process .
So much wrong with all of this. As you’ve been told multiple times… Chad isn’t paying NIL and all but one of those transfers had an agreement or an existing offer from Coleman which all came before Chad got involved with OSU at all. Are we paying? Yes. Are we paying what Iowa is paying? No. Is Bo getting 1.25/yr for him and Melvin (625/per)? A ton of credible people seem to think so. But is Melvin actually part of it at all? No not legally. So is Bo really getting 1.25? Yes.
Just get along here man! You have some worthy discussion ability if you can lose the schtick of being a prick.
Are you saying Chad wasn’t involved in the Taylor deal?
Also, I know all 4 of the portal guys are getting paid and at a very fair price. Chris Perry and Tyler Caldwell were responsible for bringing them in, not David.
The whole point of this is that ALL the schools are doing it and nobody knows the facts. It’s a contract and it’s suppose to stay private. Do kids talk, yes but, I don’t think they are releasing all the details. Folks are taking what they want from conversations and hearsay and running with it.
In the last ten posts it went from Bo getting a $1m a year, to $1.25m a year to possible Bo and Melvin splitting $1.25 a year, meaning $625k each. Point is, NOBODY KNOWS, except Bo. And, in his own words, all the schools were comparable with their package.
Chad was publicly and media quoted on being involved bringing DT here and promoting RTC.
That’s not NIL.
I agree that not many, but, not nobody knows. But, if money was the same, he wouldn’t choose Iowa and Va Tech probably couldn’t compete with the other three in a bidding war. So, it’s easy to summarize on the whole comparable idea.
But really, it doesn’t matter. It over and done with. He’s not a Cowboy and he’s at Iowa. I didn’t want to root against him and I didn’t want him at PSU…so I got half and that’s better than nothing and I have to root against him.
Constipation is a shi**y deal and a real pain in the a$$.
