He didn’t remove us from his list a day later after Bo committed because he suddenly disliked Iowa. Willie said he wanted to be a hawk I believe. After he took us off his list, he just said family first, which shows he’s following what Bo does. If he wasn’t concerned about what Bill and Bo would think, we would at least still be on his list.
That's just not true, lol.

Most likely based on everything we've heard? He was offended on behalf of his mother. I'm not saying that's fair given what we believe happened, but to just say he's following Bo as opposed to having his own agency is ridiculous
It all goes hand in hand....both things can be true.

I would very much expect all three together. Bo even said he factored in what Melvin and Keegan liked when he committed to Iowa ie he was looking for a school that worked for all of them. I heard from a decent source that the father offered up a quick commit from Melvin if Tom made things happen with the RTC that they wanted. I read that in a post from a completely different source (I believe on the old Rivals site); no guarantee that happened but I suspect it did. So it sure seems like they are a packaged dealio.

Package deal managed by greedy agent, loving family sticking together, all independent free thinkers, cult members doing what cult leader says, ...... time will tell.

Wow, PSU has had crazy All Star teams the past 2 seasons, but adding Stanich at 141 could legitimately make this upcoming season the best they have ever had, if Stanich wrestles like he looked at U20's....on top of that, that gives them the flexibility to redshirt Blaze, depending on whether or not he is killing the other 133's in the room and wants to make that weight...

125: Lilledahl Top 3
133: Davis/Nagao Top 5
141: Stanich Top 4
149: Van Ness Top 2
157: Kasak Top 3
165: Messenbrink #1
174: Haines #1
184: Welsh Top 3
197: Barr #1
285: Mirasola ?

Strong favorites at 165, 174 and 197, with a very strong chance to win 125, 149 and 157. Even Stanich and Welsh have a chance to win at 141 and 184, respectively. Between Davis, Nagao and even Blaze, they should finish top 5 at 133. The ONLY question mark would be Mirasola at 285 and 6 of the Top 8 finishers graduated. A mid to low AA finish is entirely possible for Cole...
