I don't think anybody is taking V-Tech seriously enough they are sneaky good with their recruiting class, they made it this far maybe they are a good distance too. The only problem that I know of with them is the rtc.
Bo Bassett thread
- Thread starter a_mshaffer
- Start date
Agree that the message board chatter (speculation, criticism, etc) is sometimes overdone. But I don't think such chatter is related (or maybe only weakly related) to being from the commonwealth of PA. It's the same for someone like Facundo.
You both do know that Bassett beat a 3-time (correction: 4-time) All-American and a former NCAA champion, Anthony Ashnault, as a high school sophomore, right? He not only just beat him, but he teched him. Food for thoughts.

Yes, but my point was about the "even more love" PA wrestlers supposedly get. It isn't always true.
Would Basset have beaten Ashnault , as a hs sophomore, In a folkstyle match?
Who knows. That's why I would not attempt to make an absolute statement on who would beat who like the posters I referenced. Kasak is no pushover, but neither is Bassett. But Bassett teching Ashnault is an eye opener. And similar to Mesenbrink (folk vs. free), Basset doesn't depend on the crocodile roll (free) to score. So I think his style translates well regardless (using Mesenbrink as an example).

The mere fact that is a legitimate question, is itself remarkable.
Yes and it was also just me wondering how much freestyle translates to folkstyle… bc Ash senior year was wild.. he majored Kolodzik to take #1 ranking and dominated Micah Jordan In finals and was a hodge finalists that year.. so if a hs Basset could win a folkstyle match as a sophomore.. the thought is just wild.. still he teched a fully grown man in FS.
Things happen that throw expectations into a meat grinder. Examples Chase and his deamons, Bo Jordan who was dealing himself a hand (3 kids or somewhere close) while improving his deadlift, Ferarri and his lack of impulse control, empathy or self respect, and numerous other athletes who for whatever reason seem to either miss or leave much on the table However, at this point in time all data available indicates Bo will be very good at this college wrestling thing and a great teammate to have on the team.
It is also fairly safe to assume that guys currently on the PSU team will continue to develop very high end skills while working in the PSU room.
Me, just sitting in my office on a Friday watching wrestling, hoping for no issues and babbling a thought out on a message board.

I have a thought: Get back to work!!

I agree, he tf’d his way at Ironman and Super 32. I felt he looked slow, under weight and not happy.
Plus why wear rudis shoes. Nike and adidas are better.
Are you sure? Wouldn't Cadet eligible after Junior year would mean he was 16 until at least January of his Sr. year? Even Cadet eligible after Sophomore year makes you a baby these days.

BTW... I think Bassett v. Kayak would be a banger. That is not knocking Kasak but I think thst Bo (and of course Jax and Blaze cor that matter) could AA this year.
two years full time in the PSU/NLWC rooms means something.
Bassett was dropped by Cornell, not the other way around. His grades aren't up to snuff.
Cornell wasn't really trying.
Oh my goodness. So we should expect a legal action soon?
He still has PSU on the list so that should tell you something about his grades.
Buddy, unless something has changed drastically about the way Cornell operates re: athletics I assure that is not the case.
Tells me something about his athletic ambitions.
Maybe he doesn't want to be the next Steveson or Ferrari. Or Wasink.
Cornell University suspends longstanding frat over police probe into alleged sexual assault: ‘Deeply disturbing’
“Our community is trying to process last Friday’s crime alert that involved a deeply disturbing report of drugging and sexual violence.”

Still waiting to hear how you know his grades aren't good enough to get into Cornell?
He's a C student with SAT's less than 900. Fine for a giant state school where all you need to do is fog a mirror but not Ivy League worthy.
There's been speculation on here so I want to make this VERY clear, I am not Lisa Morales...
