Bo Bassett thread

I This is great. I dare you to go over and engage Liberty Lover with this comment. It's been so long without significant Ferrari discussion that he's bound to swallow - bait, line and sinker.

With your current reputation over there, that thread would have a high probability of combustion. Potential great off-season entertainment.

Bound to swallow…

I was thinking the same thing. Sending a back up coach, wearing his shoes in the house is as bad as Bobby Telford calling you.

No. He's first. Every program in D1 could've sent their head coach first. Also, do you think the Bassetts didn't pre-coordinate and expect Mytych to be the one there?

This isn't like Telford cold-calling Knox, and on top of that being far down the list of callers.

Somewhat related: is Goodale at the Olympics with Rivera?
 
Mytych is their best recruiter and can make one hell of a pitch.

You can argue it's not a goodu se of time but McCort has plenty of really good wrestlers besides Bo and Melvin.

We should have a thread to guess Bo’s final 7, 5 , 3 and pick to see who gets close
 
I've got to give the kid credit for figuring out that he can literally read from a list of schools he won't be attending, declare it news, and then offer paywalled exclusivity to that content, perhaps creating even more demand. As much as I hate it when companies do the same thing, I'll concede that there's a genius to what he's up to, inasmuch as he's a high schooler, with practically no content. Not that I'm a prospective buyer, but clearly he does have an audience and knows what he's doing, even if it's on a realtively small scale.

Coach Steve Mytych is one of the best recruiters and assistant coaches in the country. Highly respected. Far from just a back up coach. Smart move Rutgers sending him because he is also friends with Bill Bassett.

The size of the bag may have some importance, but "where can I best achieve my goals" is going to be the biggest influence.
I think the size of the bag matters a lot in Bassett's decision. Just my opinion I think he feels he can win at PSU, OSU, Iowa, or tOSU. I think he goes with the biggest bag out of those 4 schools. I just find it hard to believe King Cael is going to drop a big sum of money to him right away. I think Cael knows he can keep winning titles without Bassett.
 
I hope not. Hope he realizes winning at psu is worth alot more in the long run. I read today Iowa is paying Deluca 500k a season. Could this be true. If so what would someone like Blaze, Jax or Bassett get. They all beat former ncaa champions. Obviously not everyone is trying to buy championships like Iowa but what do you think a place like Iowa would offer them?

Why would it, when he's generating his own NIL?

But let's say you're right: in which case it's Iowa. Because PSU will give him competitive NIL, but not blow him out of the water like Slumlord Bob will. Taylor wants to spend money on the RTC instead of NIL. And who has Ohio State lured with NIL money?

OTOH: nobody thinks it'll be Iowa.
