Set for October 11th in Coralville. First matchup announced is Bo Bassett vs. Jordyn Raney. Always a great event and this one will most certainly be a great match.

That will be a fun match! 2 guys who never go backwards. It could have recruiting implications as well

 

[RBOld]

I'm sure they'll all come out to root for Bo

Guess what else they have in common? Two guys who aren’t going to Iowa.

If Bo and Miller go to OSU then we might have a bit of a horse race in 3 years. At least enough to make things interesting. If we land them both I think the luster wears off the cowboy hype train a good amount. I don't know that Bo even has a home in DTs roster, whereas he would fit in nicely at 149 here. Am I wrong to want MM more?

If wanting MM more is wrong, I don’t wanna be right

Where does Miller fit in the lineup here? In all likelihood James will be a 174 and Henckel at 184. Bo and Keegan fit perfectly but Miller is not as clear and that could be a hiccup.

Some think one of those names will end up at 97

Keegan fits perfectly?

There is a hole at 100 pounds, who else is on the roster at that weight?

 

[tullfan68]

Miller still 3 yrs away why even speculate this early

 

[Cali_Nittany1]

Because it's fun. But yeah, for a recruit like Miller, you get him and figure it out later.

 

[tullfan68]

yea kind of like the football team getting verbals which mean nothing esp after the kid goes somewhere else!

To be fair, he did look like a really big 100lbs. at U17 . Looks like he's in the midst of a bit of a growth spurt, IMO he'll be a full-sized 125.

If anyone aspires to be an elite wrestler, Iowa is not a viable option anymore.

He’s 17, skeletal growth is coming to an end

Interesting how you have such intimate knowledge of the current state of his growth plates. For the record, Bassett isn't 17 until February https://www.themat.com/news/2025/july/24/2025-u17-men-s-freestyle-world-team-bios.

It's not like there is a zillion successful college wrestlers who ended up wrestling 20+ lbs (or WAY more) over the weight they were at 16 (David Taylor, Kyle Dake, Zahid Valencia are a few ones immediately coming to mind). I'm not certain how elite of a prospect he will eventually be (I think it is pretty clear he's not at Beau or Melvin Miller's level), but I don't think him being undersized for 125 is going to be the issue.
