Recruiting?
- Thread starter CatCoach
- Start date
According to Jarrells Instagram story Ty and Jarrell have made their college decision.
Ty would be buried on the depth chart here, will be interesting to see if it’s us.
Did it sound like they both are going to the same school. Sounded like the bigger one visited North Carolina himself.
I seen the PA kid Mario Hutcherson who was training at Iowa a few months ago dominated in El Salvador at the 15U Pan Am tournament today for the USA team. Bassett's little brother also crushed it. Hutcherson could be the next BK. Wonder if he is a lock to Penn State?
The entire FRL crew today predicted Bassett’s recruitment will be a two horse race between Iowa and Penn State with the slight lean given to Iowa. Not sure if they have any insight or not but worth noting.
I also think Iowa has a shot at Bassett. That Penn State room around his weight is crowded. He would rejuvenate the Iowa program and bring a few other PA studs with him.
We all good now bro? Did you get everything off your chest?
ya...at this point it's like a rich kid teasing a poor kid about his clothes.
the poking is just cruel now 😆
it isn't crowded at all from 41-57
as i wrote in the depth chart article, i think that's their area of biggest need.

anybody that did not see that isn't paying attention. you are right there with grip and ironbird at supporting the hawks while being in the middle of enemy territory
Not sure why people would think it is a 2 horse race between Iowa and PSU for the Bassett kid. The kid is from central PA and works out fairly regularly in the PSU room or in the M2 building with former/current PSU AAs (champs). The kid also has a strong relationship with Taylor.
PSU, tOSU, OkieSt and Iowa will recruit the kid from the front, but if he goes anyplace not called Penn State it will most likely be Stillwater.

Bassett does not workout regularly at M2. He trains at NLWC, Young Guns, and Compound(His father's room). I've had this conversation with other people and asked a friend of mine from PA whose son trains at Young Guns. His exact answer was that if Bassett is at M2 then it's maybe a few times a year at best.
well thats because marcus blaze hasnt committed there yet 😂
Basset just did an interview with Basch where he even said he doesn't train at M2 much
Briefly, but the weight of the program on his back took a toll on his knees.
Bassett doesn’t strike me as someone who will follow the flock of other elite recruits and be okay blending in at PSU. FRL guys make a good point that being the face of a program would fit (and more likely appeal to) him much better.
Absolutely did. They won an NCAA title with him there.
100% agree. Bassett is the type to go try to take those other guys out instead of following them.
One title, wouldn’t call that a rejuvenated program, maybe your standards are lower than most
2020 and 2021 we were the best team period. How many titles has any non-PSU program won since Spencer set foot on campus.
Dumbass
Spencer absolutely gave the program a shot in the arm, but covid definitely slowed the growing momentum and threw a wet towel over the run they likely would have went on. The year the tourney got canceled was the best I've seen the Hawks look in recent memory with the entire lineup seemingly hitting their peak at just the right time. What a shame things couldn't have waited another week before shutting down. I still am gutted Lugo never got his chance for a title.
Did you not watch Big Tens?
Which Iowa coach with Spencer in tow, will be on the Bassett door step at 12:00 am Saturday morning?
Iowa got slammed by circumstances during a three-year period.
- Unprecedented cancelling the NCAA the week before it starts due to Covid.
- Unprecedented amount of injuries while starting out with a fantastic team.
One could even say a four-year period.
- Unprecedented gutting of the lineup because of the gambling fiasco.
So winning the Big Ten title makes you national champions for the year… I think I’d make a pretty valid argument that you would definitely lose on that one but nice try, whatever helps you sleep at night
I see it still irks you that Iowa was better than Ped St that year. Too bad buttercup.
Iowa claiming a 2020 NCAA wrestling championship is no less legit than the 1982 and 1986 football national championships claimed by PSU.
I hate that this made me laugh
