Idk the actual philosophy behind it all. All I know is this is what its looking like right now.

Better/smarter cuts are also related to culture change. Living a better culture also means that as a wrestler you aren't going through the yo-yo effect with bad dietary habits. Taylor is a big believer in nutrition, and so the dietician is a guy you can't miss appointments with.
I heard a rumor that Bo and Jax are going to commit on stage at Boone Pickens stadium during the Turnpike & Cross Canadian concert April 12th…
no offense but is that a serious rumor? It’d be awesome if it’s true.
Didn't @Pennstate1985 confirm this?
... but you left out that they would walk out with PSU singlets on. If Bo Bassett really wanted to create noise on the internet, he'd do exactly that rather than the lame, unexciting sweepstakes he has going on.
I will state it again: I hope that David Taylor redshirts all that have a RS available to enable for a GREAT season next year. There are very capable wrestlers that would still make for a good season this year.
So ur saying this staff is gonna help with the cut? Before Coleman arrived is was pretty much lose the weight. Not what u would have expected out of a top tier Div 1 program.
Pretty sure they will help them maintain the weight and that will help make the cut easier!
... yes ww did leave that part out cause ... thats not how the story goes.
Yes, they will much more closely monitor the athletes diet and health and even take part in extra workouts if the guys need them from what I understand.
DT will have to sneak em in through the wrestling room because tix will be gone in 1 hour at the presale guaranteed 🤣
Unfortunately you’re all mistaken. They’re not committing to Oklahoma State, they’re announcing that they’re forsaking wrestling to pursue careers as red dirt music artists.
Just passing along something that might interest you guys:
Bo Bassett will be official visiting Oklahoma State for Texas Tech game weekend (11/22 - 11/24)

Yeah… I agree. I’m a bit selfish though and I can’t wait to see the action
What I want to know is how did Johnny Hendrix get down and stay down, back in the day when weight cutting was placed more on the shoulder’s of the wrestlers. When he went to the UFC, he blew up like a blimp.
I wrestled in the 70s in HS. Weight cutting was awful although I didn't have to cut. You think Hendrix was bad. How in Hades did the Bonomo brothers make weight? Ever?
Here is a National Institute for Health paper on the issue regarding wrestling and related weight criteria sports had back in the day. Rubber suits in a 90F room.

He may be the only one there by the time we get to that game.
Nah I’ll be there so he can have some company. I’ll have his commitment by the end of the day.
"Our football team is struggling and the fans on campus will devote their energy elsewhere ... so this is where you come in Bo ..."
I personally saw him in the sauna near death several times.
Where I think cuts will be “easier” under this staff is the overall culture and stressing the life and discipline lived and required off the mat for these guys.
Beer weight is a lot harder to cut than water weight, and based on my time at OSU I think a lot of guys were cutting a lot of beer weight under the previous staff.
No need for that, he is an awesome young man.

Its possible he's gotten a lot better. He was a multi sport athlete in HS and when him and Cael wrestled it was pretty damn close if I remember right. Apparently hes crazy strong and now that hes focused on just wrestling and at his optimal weight of 133 I'd say dont count him out. When we saw him in the line up a couple years ago as a true freshman he sucked down to 125 for the team after Mastro walked out and he had a rough time for sure. I was in the room last year and watched him take Daton down. Kid works HARD.

Yep. Ran into him at the library one time. He’s a very nice guy
Yeah, we're gonna need you to stay out of the athletic saunas from here on out.
Just saw your schedule, looks like there is a dual that night. Should be an eventful weekend for Bo with that dual, the football game and spending time with the team and coaches.
Ha, an ignorant comment?
Good to hear he’s a great kid but the e won’t be competing for natties with Blankship starting at 133 or 125. Guys like him and Reese are great to have in the room but not in the starting lineup.
Not gonna happen.
The Bo and Jax type kids are to come and I know their dates but I’m not getting much info past that. lol it’s turned into Fort Knox.
We know there are most likely really good kids coming in every weekend but it’s very very quiet.
I believe it involves his mom
