lmao who you trying to kid, they certainly did want Bo and Miller. Same reason PSU will be rolling out a 125 pounder for their 41 spot for the year. Ya, you're pry right, why would they want one the top kids in country to fill that spot.
Bo Bassett
- Thread starter BringBackBradBanks
- Start date
PSU wanted/had him twice. Second time, Basset dad screwed the pooch.
My contention is that if they really wanted him he would be there. They made a decision that it wasn’t worth it. Same decision Brands made by the way. It’s just PSU didn’t need Bassett and Iowa did
I didn’t say they didn’t want Bo. I said they didn’t want to deal with all the extra crap. It wasn’t worth it for them to bend over backwards. And I’m not sure what you’re talking about, they’ll be rolling out a world champ at 133 and a world bronze at 141.lmao who you trying to kid, they certainly did want Bo and Miller.

Bs, if you recall posts after he came to his senses and decommited you guys were saying melvin was the one you were after all along. Now you have neither.
Ya, they will be rolling that out as of yesterday lol.. No one knew for sure blaze was going up till this week.
Heard this rumor but no details. What did he do? No harm sharing what you've heard.
This is rich. The whole thread is on a kid who just won the worlds and TNT messed up. Saying TNT didn’t want to cheat is Nobel. Didn’t Iowa have someone accidently shoot a teammate? Morality and cheating are to sides of the same coin. I give props for second chances. NCAA violations are slaps on the wrist look at Iowa St. Name a wrestling program that has had any violations that caused penalties. A person could say having 2 recruiting classes is not moral. Another could say if a coach can leave so can a wrestler
The bottom line TNT need to figure out how took make Iowa relevant again (within in the rules).

He was probably going to PSU before Iowa/bobby nic swooped in.
After he decommitted from Iowa - Okiest and PSU were the first calls.
OkieSt - DT actually hung up on Bassett dad during their first call. Plus Jax and Robideau expressed their disinterest in Bo joining the team.
PSU - Bo and Dad accepted an offer - then Bill decided to call and ask for more. Carl stopped recruiting him after that.
How much did that greed cost them? VT's offer had to be much lower.
Literally the team this site is dedicated to had multiple athletes suspended for NCAA violations.
The NCAA would have never investigated any athletes gambling nor tell the state to set up warrantless geofencing.
The state of Iowa did that all on their own. Only after the rogue investigation was the NCAA forced to do something that they never even would have known about.
IMO the lawsuits are far from over with and now that Reynolds & Bird wont be in office to stonewall how much they were involved, we may get some real answers. Although not a huge priority by any means for the newly elected Governor, it will be interesting to get to the truth of how much the state AG worked with DCI.
My tinfoil hat says its big religion money donors (Vanderplaats etc) pulling strings based on forcing their beliefs hoping this created enough outrage to make gambling turn illegal again. I thought it was very telling when those two tried to distance themselves, play ignorant at the same time saying the DCI had their full support to convict. Now what right minded Governor wouldn't have squashed it on one phone call if the geofencing wasn't greenlighted above the DCI at some point on some level. I know I would have said it wasn't by the book and I am not taking on this type of political baggage to ruin a kids life over a $10 bet on the Bears?
DT didn't hang up on anyone. Have you ever talked to him? he wouldn't hang up on a recruit or their parents (Regardless if he's interested or not, and they obviously were). Not doubting any the other, but Taylor isn't hanging up. He's respectful and would end the convoersation proper. Not just click.
Believe what you want. He hung up on Bill.
I do recall this too... More than a couple people on here saying "Bo might never even win a natty, Melvin is the real lock".
I remember that but from what I seen with Miller he was gassing in the third pretty bad and didn't see as a lock.

Penn State will have two (2) 61kg Senior World medalists occupying 133 and 141 this year.
I think they will be OK.
Never said they wouldn't be? Doesn't change the fact that they wanted both recruits
I'm not justifying anything, it's not my place. I'm just giving credit where it's due.
I was one that thought Melvin would have a better college career at the time, so feel free to make fun of me (Huck). Props to Bo though, he's changed my mind.
