Where are Bo & Melvin going?
- Thread starter Cali_Nittany1
- Start date
Not sure where they are going, but pretty good idea they are not going to PSU, OK State, or Iowa. If they are a package deal, which I would guess they end up being. I guess MM could make a different decision, but it's hard to see how with the way things stand with Beau's recruitment, there is just a combination of fences needed to be mended and not that much interest that I have to think will affect MMs decision.
Unless something changes significantly. Which, you never know in this recruitment.

I voted Nebraska......missed the "Don't Care" or would have selected that. This kid's process is the most annoying. Please be over soon!
Too much drama with this outfit… good luck wherever they decide to hitch their wagons. Wouldn’t be surprised if they hit the portal at least once in their careers.
I like Bo. I like his all-in attitude. I like how he reaches out to younger wrestlers. Do I see him at Penn State? That'd be good for him if he has international aspirations, but the lack of guarantee of being a starter right away seems like a big deterrent.
Bo, Melvin and little brother, at this point in time, are , no doubt exploring more than wrestling. The system changes would cause any elite talent to pause and study the fiscal implications of the decision at hand. My guess is that Bo's misstep at Iowa will make for a more in-depth consideration. Likewise, Dad is more than the typical wrestling Dad in that he may be assessing all situations with a desire for his own landing spot. PSU is the best decision for wrestling but this outcome is about much more than just wrestling. My best guess is that all three will end up elsewhere.
I voted for Over the River and Through the Woods partly because we learned that song in kindergarten, along with ‘Oh Christmas Tree’ in German. Teachers Mrs. Martin and Miss Jacob, fellow student and first crush was eventual Miss Teenage America 1975. True story. All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, great book.
I hope PSU lands them. Bo and Melvin have already proven themselves as great wrestlers. Keegan is on the same track. I am assuming all 3 are a package deal but nothing is for sure. My honest opinion is everyone is making excuses for not wanting them cuz they dont think the kids are going to commit here. If PSU was the front runner from the beginning, and the Iowa saga didnt occur, I think everyone would be all over them and love them. If someone would have thrown a bag of money at me when I was 17 years old and told me the offer expires soon (allegedly) I would have taken the money too.
Wasn't a fan of Bassett's weekly recruiting elimination social media stuff, but also didn't let it bother me.
But to be clear, there has been essentially zero drama since Bassett decommitted from Iowa 11 weeks ago. And so far pretty much zero drama with Miller and little Bassett.
Agree with this. Maybe not "everyone", but most.
While I doubt it happens, hope PSU can land the whole crew.
Yeah, ignoring the past year, of disrespecting about 30 programs that had no real chance, then decommiting, then drawing the same decision out another couple of months.... Zero drama here whatsoever.
You want a prime example of zero drama???
Here's three! Give me the PJ Duke, Marcus Blaze, Jax Forrest level of class every day!
PS - they are all superior recruits to boot.

I dunno, I think Melvin is the truth, and Bo has the right mindset to flourish in our room. I’d love to land both or one, but certainly agree that if we don’t, we’ll be alright.
We’ve had overbearing dads before, Cael seems up to the task. Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Just saying here. I bet the staff is perfectly AOK with some simple parent drama. What's to be avoided is pissed off at who knows what significant other drama.
This is exactly what is happening. People around here giving themselves a Rochambeau. Kick ourselves in the nuts and then say "we didn't want him anyway."
I think Dad and son still haven’t found what they are looking for, particularly Dad. If they find it, they will not be at PSU, if they don’t find it they will be at PSU.
Melvin might be the better recruit but Bo fits perfectly. I definitely want them both
