Recruiting

Bo said his final 4 were PSU, Okie st, Iowa, and VT. He said the NIL numbers were laughable and the programs offers were very comparable.
Several non Iowa fanbases scoff at the thought of their programs shelling out significant NIL $. Most notably PSU and Okie St fans. I find it hard to believe the several Okie St transfers didn’t get plenty. JMO

It's not an opinion, it's a fact.

This is an open market right now, and while compensation is not the only thing, it is almost always very important. Penn State doesn't have 3x as many studs as the next closest team without them dishing out serious money. They're coached to say that they turned down more money, and are never going to admit that they made a choice because of the money. It's all a propaganda/PR campaign that some people are actually dumb enough to believe.
 
that's why i asked butt chugger. I haven't heard since then. When people don't know they ask questions unlike your dumbass who just makes shit up....

I just enjoy you thought what he did 3 years ago when he was still on the college roster and rehabbing from major knee surgery has anything to do with today.

I was being as non-partisan as I could be. I work in athletics and it’s hard to believe how naive some fans are.

I heard most of Penn State's studs had to pay Carl to let them join while turning down hundreds of thousands of $ from Iowa!
 
I'll put this in here too, even though y'all already know...

Bo Bassett, the top prospect in the 2026 class, named his top 4 earlier today: Penn State, Iowa, Oklahoma State, and Virginia Tech.

It won't be a long wait until he announces his choice either -- he plans to make the announcement during his dual meet tomorrow.

MORE INFO:
 
So what time are we thinking this announcement will be tomorrow? Need to get the champagne and tall building ready to be prepared for either outcome
I saw some place it would be announced at the end of his wrestling meet tomorrow. So does that mean sometime later evening?

From what I recall from the interview this morning the meet doesn't start until 7pm so we're probably looking at 8-8:30pm (guesstimate)

And, I personally know Mocco is down to a few select schools and Iowa is one of them. And, he just crossed off Okie State.
In addition to their wrestling ability and potential, what intrigues me about the Moccos is whether it brings Steve back into the Iowa program. We've talked ad nauseam about getting guys who are true difference-makers into the program/RTC as assistants, etc. Steve's still young and would certainly add a huge training weapon to the upper-weight arsenal.

Something tells me Steve coming back to Iowa is wishful thinking. He has a good thing going in FL and lives right on the water. But I guess you never know.
 
Was Bo Bassett’s main club Young Guns? I know he trained alot in his home facility but was Young Guns his most visited club? Who are the top recruits in the PA Young Guns Club besides the Bassets and Melvin?
