Bo Bassett decommits from Iowa

“Not one theory that I’ve seen in the thread is correct. Will give more important people like Tom or Bob time to release information if they so choose. Will ask for permission to share in a few days if nothing comes out. It’s a bummer for sure.”

Well, that certainly reads as if there’s a tampering allegation with evidence. I know that coaches cannot discuss unsigned athletes that they’re pursuing, but can they discuss those they’re not pursuing?

I thought that poster was pretty stable thru the occasion I met him, but since B1Gs he’s seems to post less and less believable stuff.

I'm sure whatever is released will be completely unbiased and be the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth

Now that I'm done reveling in the Hawks misfortunes the human side of me feels for the good loyal Hawk fans. This is the rug being yanked right form under them and no net. The sport needs a competitive Hawks program. The sport needs TnT even though they may rub many (me included) the wrong way. I am hoping they can right the ship and challenge for 2nd place.

I disagree. I want that ship to sink and I don't think it would be any big loss. Whenever you start feeling bad for that program just spend 30 seconds on their board and you'll snap back to reality.

Brands can't say anything.

Slumlord Bob can't stop saying anything.

I said the good loyal Hawk fans which i doubt frequent that board if ever. Have you ever been to an event and actually talked with any of the fan base?

Most fans seem like decent people when you talk to them in person. The problem for me is that I spend way more time reading the insanity and hatred on that board than I have spent talking to their fans in person, so to me that's what represents their program. It doesn't help that their biggest donor is a POS human being and their coach is a lunatic.

Nah. Iowa competing for that 4th place trophy and finishing 5th is always a nice addition to setting team scoring records and crowning multiple champions.

It's the same thing every time.

Team X is cheating. TnT/Iowa are too principled and have too much integrity for today's NCAA athletics.

No more righteous program, ITO.

People wanting to blame Bob. I for one think Hawk fans should blame Chief and Turk for their shitty mod work on GIA. Had they done their job, deleted all proof of Bob's evil words about their own wrestlers and locked threads from further replies, the Hawkeyes would not have lost Bo or Melvin. It is because of those two, today happened. :)

I saw that Turk is questioning whether @js8793 is actually @johnstownsteel in disguise. I gotta say, that would be a pretty good long con if true. 🤣

Bob's comments had nothing to do with Bo decommitting. That's nonsense.

But, like I said the entire reason Bo wouldn't commit in the first place - Daddy Bassett was consistently saying, to those that no him, he didn't trust Iowa to make Bo better at wrestling. There's a middle here, and i don't know where that is but both Tom and Dad Bassett are just not a good mix.

Based on nothing, I would guess Mr Bassett is a bit of a modern day Marv Marinovich. He’s just on an accelerated timeline because with the revelation of Duke, Blaze and Jax, everyone is realizing Bo is not the once in a lifetime stud he has been made out to be for the last five years.

Bo seems like a good kid who wants to be the best. Hopefully finds a place to optimize him.

Per GiA (emphasis mine):

“Willie is sharing right now on the podcast.

basically he said there were differences in views about how to train and tom literally told them “nobody is going to tell me how to run my program.”

Also there wasn’t great cohesion between both sides at the recent tournaments

bassett and his family also wanted Iowa to get flights to have melvin and bo come out and train whenever and Iowa said their compliance won’t allow it.”

Editor’s note - Bob excluded

Without Bob’s (+others but mostly Bob’s) NIL funding Iowa would’ve been in hell the past 4 years. He’s bringing in wrestlers and at least making Iowa competitive with every team except PSU. Buchanan was an amazing addition and is a guy I really like, seems to be a really good person, money well spent in my eyes.

Slumlord Millionaire said on GIA that he is loyal to Brands, not Iowa, and he is done when Brands is gone. LMAO, then what? You have to make a home run coaching selection, which by the trajectory of DT's program at Ok St will mean bypassing Spencer for a guy like Nolf or Nick Lee or Casey, and make it without a donor willing to throw millions at the program and without an elite RTC. But the Brands and their outdated methods and philosophy are clearly a large part of the problem and sticking with this regime in order to keep Slumlord Millionaire's wallet open is also a dead end. This is going to get worse for Iowa before it gets better.

Wonder why Bob didn't work in flights and hotels in the NIL deal. Lol

Listening to Basch and Willie. Willie speculating Bos landing spot and saying PSU could use a 149 while struggling to remember if we have a recruit in the pipeline. I mentioned Herring. Willie like me feels Sam will be better than people think. I liked "Herring" that.... :)

I don't know if Herring gets that big, he has been at 61kg for all recent freestyle stuff.
