PRO: Best fans no doubt (it will be what, 10th year we have had the most fans in the country...by a lot!). PRO: Awesome new training facility (I got to have a personal tour of the new facility a couple weeks ago, and whatever I was expecting, it proved to be 100% more AWESOME than what I had thought possible!). PRO: SPENCER "FREAKING" LEE! Bo has told the wrestling community that his idol is Spencer. When interviewed just a week or so ago Bo was asked who his idol was. At about the 2 second mark he shouted "Spencer Lee!" How often does someone get to be with their idol, fighting with, scrapping with, wrestling with, and just being with them that much? PRO: The Spencer Tilt. Spencer is the best at using this. Bo may be great and all, but to be able to bring this into his arsenal would be a site to behold. CON: He is from Pennsylvania. Iowa is a long way from home. CON: 30-8. CON: NIL. Can Iowa compete with PSU and other teams? Personally I think NIL has destroyed college sports. I mean how many programs can toss out an almost endless supply of money? Carter S., I believe, is making something like $1.3 million this year alone (he is probably is making more, way more, when all is said and done.) . And that's just one wrestler!

Thanks. Great thread.
If we miss out on Bo tomorrow, after missing out on Ross, there are going to be a lot of state of the program/mental health posts. Or we get him and angels sing and church bells ring from the rafters! Either way, tomorrow could be a fun day in the cesspool.

The Raney brothers have always been the standard here. Ross, between football and Kueter already being there, was always gonna be a hard get. Bo, with simply how he went about his recruitment process was also always going to be a very hard ask. Not getting either shouldn't be any bad recruiting indicator, let alone a death knell....

Now, if they don't get the Raneys or Moccos......THEN I would be very worried indeed!
