Recruiting….
- Thread starter Lightweight87
- Start date
Was Bassett sr the one who went on the internet a couple months before the commitment and told Iowa fans something like "this is why my son will never choose your school"? I was kindof confused a couple months later when Bo indeed committed to Iowa
Yeah, seriously. Stranger things have happened.......
"faith journey"... what a crock. "cash grab"... "ego journey" probably fit better.
Any fun nuggets with any recruits? Or tea leaves of flips? Finally this recruiting dead period is over and hoping for some exciting news!
Hoping we can land some Hammers!!

gottamit @Gobblin . got me running around asking questions...
I believe it’s because Gobblin liked the post “Yes Seriously, Stranger things have happened”
That was a few weeks before his official visit. I was shocked they even took the visit, so I guess I shouldn’t be shocked when his dad helped Sabotage his verbal. Even in the parents interview after he committed, they seemed disappointed and just said he needs decide what he wants. I’m also surprised it is taking him this long to commit to one of the three schools, seeing he knows PSU very well, knows Taylor for years and was On okyst campus at least 3 times for 2-4 days last year. Maybe Nebraska has a chance, but you’d think he would have taken an official by now. I know I’m hoping Bo and his dad are praying for God to give them a big enough throat to eat all that crow when they ask Tom to give them a second chance

Home visits just started. Any info on if TNT are going to visit Amato? Sidun?
The U of Iowa is a self funded athletic department. I believe Iowa and Northwestern Re the only ones in the Big Ten who fiscally operate this way.
Any money spent on non Iowa affiliates is frowned upon. The Hawkeye RTC isn’t allowed to put a booth up in Carver during wrestling events to promote itself. The only thing the U of I says, “is don’t create a compliance problem.”
These are not excuses; just the facts.
I never said the playing field is anything but level. Uncle Ira and pal are spending 15 plus million a year on their college and RTC athletes. That matters. Financially they are spending way more than Iowa. It is unclear how much OSU is spending, but it appears to be a lot too.
For those complaining about signing USA and World champions to come to Iowa, you need to donate to HWC. Last I heard the annual raise is somewhere above 1 million, but nowhere near the 5 plus million Nit Wit club spends.
Heard thru the grapevine Bill Bassett said zero chance coming back to Iowa. So there is that. Brands tried calling Bo and Bo wasn't interested. All signs point to PSU. Although with NIL, who knows from day to day.
Reminds me of an old quote:

At this point who really wants him? Kids all about himself. Lots of time/money invested in him, and it's all about " me" ( him).

Aren't you the guy who said good recruiting news was coming based off a tweet from a completely random and anonymous person?
do not recall that but jackoffs like you are the reason people do not post on here.A

Did you want him before he committed when he was the exact same type of person?
You mean you're not gonna post the "news" you've been getting from random twitter handles with 2 followers? That's a shame. That's less exposure for the 14 year old who made the tweets.
Do you post on this forum just to be a douche to people? Your big mouth sh@t gets old really fast.
No Nebby or Okiest for Bo.
Down to PSU and Iowa.

So, you are saying it is PSU, then???
It makes no sense if its Iowa
It does make sense. Cooler heads would have prevailed.
hope you are right but all signs point to psu unfortunately. i would be shocked if it is not psu.
No idea where he ends up but what are all the signs that point to psu?
There is logic as to how we could end up back here. Cooler heads, none of the other programs Bo listed are able to offer the things the Bassett's were allegedly complaining about, either like travel etc., etc. So I can see the logic. I can't believe it would actually happen, though.
that is where his parents want him to go.
