Jimmy Cinnabon 411 Report post Posted September 30, 2021 He seems to be the next Spencer Lee and has been connected to Iowa for some time. Any insiders know if he's an Iowa lock or close to it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotAPlan 42 Report post Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Unless rules change or he reclassifies, the earliest he can sign with a team is November of 2025 lol That being said, he seems to spend quite a bit of time in the Penn State room already. Don't know how it works but he's there training a lot. Think it's because he's in middle school technically the rules don't apply to him yet (or as long as Cael doesn't talk to him about wrestling for Penn State) I'm sure Jody will push Iowa but Penn State has gotten most of the Young Guns kids they've prioritized over the years minus Spencer. We shall see, it'll be a recruitment for the ages. Can definitely see Cornell being a factor as well since Erik Gibson is heading there and it could be a pipeline for Mason and Bo Edited September 30, 2021 by IGotAPlan 1 flyingcement reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SetonHallPirate 988 Report post Posted September 30, 2021 Everything I’ve heard is that he’s a toss-up between Little Rock, Presbyterian, and all other schools with a Division I wrestling program. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotAPlan 42 Report post Posted October 1, 2021 I'm curious to see the kids trajectory continue. Definitely would be insane if he wins a junior world title before high school. It's different now since 57KG is the lowest weight class and there will legitimately be accomplished senior wrestlers in that bracket. People say Bo is "old" for his grade but still even if you skip a grade, a cadet world title before you enter high school is something else. He absolutely dominated it. Similarly, he is teching top ranked 106 in folk (Dan Jones). It's not like he hit puberty early or anything (still looks and talks like a preteen) and the kid is a FIERCE worker as shown by his social media. Sky truly is the limit.

Katie 1,076 Report post Posted October 1, 2021 If Iowa doesn’t land Bassett, it could potentially be the worst recruiting failure in history. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think you can argue that to be the case for PSU also. The kid lives 1.5 hours from campus and is already training with NLWC regularly. I think that has every bit as much pull as YGWC/Spencer connection if not more. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add to that the fact that the Ivies are potentially eliminating some grey areas that Cornell has been using to their advantage, and we could be seeing see at least a slightly diminished program in Ithaca.
