Bo Bassett

From a former Poke wrestler and current RTC guy (shouldn’t be hard to guess who) but they feel really good about Bo.

I don’t know of any coach that would say ā€œNah, we have no chance in hell of getting Wrestler Xā€ but at least they are going full tilt on Bo!

I’m sure Penn St will be the pick, but maybe for once, their program is experiencing some PR challenges and maybe some in house fighting! Welcome to the OLD OSU wrestling room… you won’t love it! Good luck with all that shit!! 🤣
 
And I get what youre saying as well. But, where would our minds be if DT hadnt lost at Olympic trials and the crazy whirlwind that saw him replace John Smith and make great strides in Cowboy wrestling? We were all struggling for second and Iowa was doing better than us and there was nothing we could do about it. And technically we all still will be for 2-3 more seasons. Yes, even us Cowboys with DT as HC I think it will be at least that long before we really challenge. Psu could literally have 6 champs this coming season and I believe only lose 1 of them. Thats reality unfortunately.

SO every stud recruit at this time matters. If they live the life then theyre a fit for us or psu. I'm about to the point where you get every stud you can and see who pans out because from what I'm hearing theres a stud or two in the room that are lazy and dont have a good work ethic and wont be all that unless they change. It takes more than talent at the D1 level. On the flip side Im also hearing theres an absolute lowkey Oklahoma stud beating a top recruit so the line up may get wild before its all said and done.
who is the Oklahoma stud beating a top recruit?

I mean, that's sports, right? I've been very impressed with what Cael can do with who he gets...there's not many disappointments. Never understood why Carter, but Cael.saw something. Like him or not, he's just a mentally tough...almost sub human...SOB. Helps that he gets the best of the best.
 
Well, between the PSU news dropping and the fact that it appears Bo, Keegan and Melvin are all in Stillwater right now, I’d say our chances are as high as they’re ever going to be. Seeing some video of the Farm and it looks like maybe Dee, Sergio and Robideau are all there at the camp also (could be wrong based on some quick glancing).
 
I guess Jax has his address in Stilly now? Why didn’t Bo get an address in Iowa city? When I watched the Chael videos of him in the Hawkeye room, it seemed they did not put a priority on freestyle. I’m pretty sure Lee never wrestled freestyle his entire tenure at UI.
Done speaking about it but an address isn't suffice according to the rule. Spencer was hurt most of his college career. And he did wrestle some freestyle when healthy
 
What specific rule did OSU break in this 3 page pdf?
Call UsaW yourself they will answer your questions for you . And explain that an apartment doesn't count because his parents live in PA
Call Derek. Or Cody

Gotcha , just wanted to be clear. When you say it is not sufficient to the rules you aren’t actually siting a published rule by USAW. You are siting a conversation you had with Derek and Cody. Would be cool for the schools if USAW published these interpretations to their rules they are apparently just giving you.

I never called either of them. I don't care enough to do that . But I know they can answer it for you.
 
So where are you getting this interpretation of the home address rule not published anywhere that we broke?
I have been around for a while and know the rules. I have coached athletes so I had to know them. Also I have talked to a few people who got the answers. Just call yourself since you will only believe them. You've all the information so get to work

Oh I don’t I know the rules. You are the one citing rules we broke. That is why I’m asking you. I figured you could easily point me to more clarification that an apartment doesn’t count. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn’t. The published rules don’t say.

And I'm telling you what I know . But you want to argue instead of just calling yourself. Told you what I know take it or leave it

I have no idea if OSU broke a rule or not. I know with 100% certainty our compliance doesn’t mess around. I just take issue with you citing a rule you can’t point too and your response is trust me I know the rules (that aren’t published). Having to call the USAW seems like a pretty terrible system when they could easily publish the rule.

Maybe I wake up tomorrow and we are the first wrestling program to get some kind of punishment thrown at us in years (it would be our luck). Just seems like it would be easy to clarify this rules publicly.

...does the term "training at" have a time/term limit...?...by the day or hour.....?.....how about "visiting"....?.....at whose expense?........surely the major wrestling programs are aware of the rules.............if NCAA and USAW rules are in confusion/interpretation how is decided by who? Who can/will punish........?.......best to all...............rs

Or maybe calling and getting the go ahead is what happened?

NCAA has nothing to do with this. Yes, compliance is too thorough.

So USAw said the rules don't apply?
How was this done?
What work around was used?
If you don't have the answers I guess I gotta call and get them myself. Having been around for years I have never heard of anything like this before

But again you are citing a rule you can't show us. "Home address" isn't publicly defined in the rules. Interpretations of rules have to be written down somewhere. They can't just exist in the ether.

Iowa claiming it is against the rules doesn't make it so. If USAW says we violated a rule that hasn't been interpreted then there has to be a whole process to decide that.

I'm the guy who has been saying for a decade RTCs are a shady as hell and their link to colleges to begin with was insane. That being said, RTCs has been around for ahwile now and for people to start clutching their pearls about them seems odd.
 
Most everyone (especially 18 year old kids) want to be a part of the new ā€œhipā€ thing!! But our hip thing also has a legend running the new hip thing!

No one is better than Penn St, currently but are they the new ā€œHipā€ thing??? All his HS buddies are going to OSU! U don’t reckon that Jax and Locket and others are not in his ear about being apart of the group that overtook Penn St?

Penn St shoulda been the obvious first choice for him, when he committed to Iowa. Money talked and he chose the money. Now he’s back on the market and hasn’t already committed to them… šŸ¤”
You would think Penn St would be the obvious choice now! Best team, iā€m guessing they have the best RTC, too! Best coach, home state, etc etc… So why not commit to them already? They ā€œappearā€ to be the easy pick yet he hasn’t picked them yet… What’s the holdup???

This thing is like a jury trial, the longer it goes without him committing to Penn St, the better the odds are that he goes to OSU!

Nebraska had a great year last year but they have ZERO chance of getting Bo! They don’t have the tradition of OSU and Penn St! Actually, they have ZERO things better than OSU and Penn State!

This is a two dog race and the longer it goes with him not committing to PS, the better chance / more likely he signs with the Pokes!

Get that popcorn ready to go!!

Nebby has a real shot! They are in the middle (lower end of the middle) of a run of talent.

You know how much I respect you, especially on Wrestling!! Your knowledge and mine are night and day! With that said, I’ll bet you an Ice Cold beer that it’s us or Penn State. šŸ¤£šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

I never said rules don't apply.

I wasn't a part of the conversation that determined any decisions on what we do regarding the rule. I know there was careful thought put into everything we were doing with no intent to cheat USAW.

I am not sure why you keep beating on this drum? It really has the optics that you are trying to stir up trouble for OSU and an 18 year old kid? If you want to do your investigation, go ahead, but the attacks on this topic can stop if you don't mind.
