I’ve posted 100x… a certain hardcore mindset is going to choose Iowa over PSU. I prob would have had I had any talent 35 years ago. Some wrestlers bang their head into the wall pre-match and some don’t.Bo wanted to be the face of the program, like Spencer Lee(though that didn't work out that well with recruiting). That wouldn't have happened at Penn State. He made his choice, so truly good luck to him. I do have to admit I never understand how kids pick Iowa after watching the crazy Brand Brothers show who get underwhelming results every year. .
Months ago...That 2-faced POS finally get hit w/ the Ban Hammer?
.... well, I'll be damned.
Does Bo’s mom wear glasses?According to a post on GIA he is a guaranteed 4 time champ. A lot of pressure and he hasn't even gotten a shower yet.
And I’m confused how he said he wrestles the Iowa style, no he doesn’t, he actually scores points.Bo wanted to be the face of the program, like Spencer Lee(though that didn't work out that well with recruiting).

Is it true all the fans threw their glasses on the mat when he announced Iowa?Bo wanted to be the face of the program, like Spencer Lee(though that didn't work out that well with recruiting).

This isn't Iowa quit staaaaaallling lmfaoHmmm... A white claw drinking hard ass?
Give me a minute to process your post...
he wrestles like Iowa used to wrestle in their heyday. If he can bring that culture back it could be a change in the programAnd I’m confused how he said he wrestles the Iowa style, no he doesn’t, he actually scores points.

Spencer didn’t change the program, neither is Bo.Maybe Iowa fans can now STFU about PSU being good ONLY because they get the top-rated recruits.
It will sure be sweet when Cael and company coach up a lower rated kid to take out the program-changer.
Who?Wild Turk gonna be feeling his oats & holding his head high as he struts through the I-80 truck stop parking lots tonight.
Would love to get Jax, but we don't need anything in 2026. Cael cleaned up 2024 and 2025. Anything we get this year is a luxury.Psu needs some recruiting news for 2026
Jax , come on down
Nailed it.It had literally nothing to do with being the face of the program, coaches, favorite wrestlers or location. His Dad couldn't pass up the money and the screen shots of the messages are making thier rounds. He had to commit immediately to get it. That's why the circus ended so early and unexpectedly. A kid that has trained that hard and wrestled the amount of matches he has in his short lifetime, Iowa is the last place I'd be sending my kid. Owell good for them, money is important. I guess we'll see how well the snap down go behind translates to college.
They kinda had to look for out-of-state imports after losing their own top in-state prospect to OKST.Per Gripp they are doing it the right way. By purchasing half of the lineup? And once again the Hawks have to dip into the PA talent pool to stay close. Money talks. As usual they are all penciling in championships 😂 I guess we should let them have their moment.
Spencer probably help inspire Bo to go to Iowa being his idol and all… who knows who Bo goes on to inspire to go to Iowa in the future …Spencer didn’t change the program, neither is Bo.
68 pages in, I don’t think Bo has posted once. Seems plenty are down for some drama to me….
Where does PJ Duke fit in?Bo joins the Iowa lineup as a true freshman at 149 in 2026-27. Shayne is still wrestling at 149, or 157 and Marcus Blaze is at 149. So here is a question to ponder. At over/Under the percentage TnT will need to load manage Bo's schedule the night?
I am putting it at 83% give or take 17%.
MWould not shock me one bit this is true. Not that Bo isn't GREAT. Just that it is what it is, the systemic advantages PSU has today will still be in place tomorrow.
I also don't believe that his actual recruitment, even in his own mind, is over tomorrow (and that is true even if he picks the good guys)
odds are one of a few things will happen. Tnt drive his body into the ground….ie SL. Dissension in room And devour whats left of culure because of amount of money. Or similar bobby goes broke paying the current starters. They couldn't see forest thru trees. Great pick up if it didnt cost 5mil.Between his work ethic and their style, I hope his body holds up.
And I’m confused how he said he wrestles the Iowa style ....
If DT was there im thinking it was OKst untill BN put 5 mil and a timeline ultimatumSpencer probably help inspire Bo to go to Iowa being his idol and all… who knows who Bo goes on to inspire to go to Iowa in the future …
This was also so obviously the answer. He terminated his recruitment on the spot and announced 4d after the PSU-Iowa dual for what other possible reason?It had literally nothing to do with being the face of the program, coaches, favorite wrestlers or location.

I just don’t feel the same animosity I did when Spencer went the other way.Bo’s could potentially make his Penn State vs. Iowa debut at a BJC dual meet in Feb 2027. That should be a dual meet no one wants to miss.
I once dated a gal named Flo. She never went down.
Chief Rutgers insider claims to know Rutgers' and Iowa's offers but isn't divulging numbers except that Rutgers' was in 7 figures and not close to Iowa's.This was also so obviously the answer. He terminated his recruitment on the spot and announced 4d after the PSU-Iowa dual for what other possible reason?
Face of the program? Come on. If that were the reason, then there was no need to so abuptly rule out Michigan and Rutgers, and VT would've also been a viable choice.
Nope, there was one reason:

I was told $4.5 mil. So I guess them saying $5 mil wasn't true wasn't a lie.Chief Rutgers insider claims to know Rutgers' and Iowa's offers but isn't divulging numbers except that Rutgers' was in 7 figures and not close to Iowa's.
Yeah, after all the garbage about changing a program, I could have bought into VT. But this ........
kinda a steaming pile.
It had nothing to do with faith. His father was asking for last and best offers for several days lol.Good luck Bo! I wish you well at Iowa, I appreciate your faith but you’ve now become part of the evil empire, realize wrestling is just a sport, guess not that great at dodgeball, lol
Just wait until the screenshots are posted in a public forum. It's only a matter of time.How will Bo handle it when the info on the Nil package is exposed. I’ll take a shot, Coach Tom found a bag on the steps of the church with my name on and simply passed it on.
