Some expert analysis from my seat across from the recruits was that Dee and Bo were pretty tight today. Also, both duals I noticed Hendrickson talking with Bo so idk if he was paired up with him or if it’s something else but that was cool to see.
 
No way he leaves Pa to go to OkState. Doesn’t make sense

It "would" make sense for him to leave PA, if he honestly thinks its the best place for him to train and win folk/free medals.

That's where Iowa is missing - the no real RTC. But okstate and PSU do. I do think it will take a lot for Bo to not go to PSU, but him leaving PA is a real possibility. He LOVES Tom Ryan as well.

Honestly, I don't think he quite knows what he's going to choose. I know several things:

-It was a good visit that gave him more information to digest.
-Dee is on it and has a future in the sport just for his recruiting ability alone.
-He feels it is a place that is on the rise.
-PSU is at the mountain top.
-OSU is quite a significant distance from home.
 
OSU is quite a significant distance from home.
Distance and expected time to each school from Johnstown PA:
PSU - 90 min car ride
Ohio State - 4 hour car ride
Iowa - flight to Cedar Rapids thru Chicago 8hr plus ~2 hour drive/airport time. 10 hours. Or 11 hour drive.
OSU - hour drive to Pittsburgh, 5.5 hr flight to Tulsa (thru ATL or CLT) . 1 hour drive to Stillwater. Add in wait time and total is around 9 hours. Or 17 hour drive.

If staying near home is as important as some say, it will be PSU v tOSU. If it isn’t, 2 hour drive plus 2 flights isn’t absurd imo. But I commute from Dallas to Cali almost weekly haha

I don't know how big of a concern that is really, but I know it has been discussed some. I think some positives to it as well as some negatives.

I think its completely feasible. Especially when you factor in NIL. There are some rumors there was actually some house looking/shopping to get an idea of cost of living which is much better in Oklahoma. No clue if OSU will be where Bo ends up but to say it doesnt make sense is silly. As far as Jax, I'd say its us or tOSU if I was a betting man.

Paycom dude allows use of corporate Jet and land that bad boy in Stillwater, America!’ We gonna use the one with the HUGE engine in it! Be in Stilly in 4hrs… problem solved. I thought this was going to be a tougher challenge than that!

let's not forget parachuting into Stillwater. Would save at least an hour of time. Just spitballing. :)

Yeah, Bo will go wherever the heck he wants

Didn’t he baptize Dee earlier this year? We know they are spiritual brothers. Dee is a true cowboy ambassador.

I would say that distance is not a factor. Sometimes, guys may want to have a new experience. But, he will go where he feels he fits in best. How far is Lehigh from his home?
