Bo Bassett
- Thread starter a_mshaffer
- Start date
Beau has his own thread on every almost every big time wrestling programs board. I been watching a lot about him and he seems to really like the sport. Best of luck to him at worlds.
Hope he doesn’t pick his nose because there seems like lots of adults and coaches following him. I just watched his Bader interview and it was so good. He speaks better than most adults I know and work with.
Meet Cael, pick his brain.
Meet Goodale, make him sweat like he just committed a crime.
If I had a kid I wish he was like this kid. Beau has more hype than most NCAA champs and I find myself like most adults, obsessed with him.
hard not to be a fan with interviews like this and him starting to hang in the PSU room

Bo Bassett ready for Budapest
JOHNSTOWN, PA - Bo Bassett was only six years old when he won his first world championship. Now at the age of 14, Bassett will be back on the world championship mats. Bassett, an upcoming eighth grader at Bishop McCort, will travel to Budapest, Hungary next week for the Cadet World...

For some reason I think that’s precisely why it’s not an infraction - but once they get to HS it is.
Ain't this how all the malarkey started in basketball and money sports with coaches offering middle schoolers and shit? Ugh.
It definitely is ... Bo is old for his grade (though not by as much as people make it sound, think Mark Hall) and Levi is young for his grade. Bo is also obviously way way ahead of the curve (like a year ahead of Spencer's trajectory age wise as of right now) to be able to make Cadet Teams after 7th grade. It definitely doesn't hurt that Bassett definitely looks up to Levi and they're already really close.
This is a great question? How can a 14yr old be on the cadet team with a 17yr old. His bday must be late in 2006. So he really isn’t that old.
Levi is really young for his grade. His dad told me numerous times he wishes he would of held him back. Perry’s dad said it was the best thing he could of done.
if I ever have kids I would seriously consider it. More opportunities, with in the rules, physically & emotionally alittle older wouldnt hurt in college and no one ever brings up in the ncaa semis,,,, oh wait this kid was held back in fourth grade. Other than the jealous MS dad, who’s wife won’t let him do it with his own son, no one else seems to care.
I can’t get past the oversaturation of social media exposure at such a young age.
Not holding Haines back could turn out to have the best long-term impact.
All other things being equal (including his career length), it gives him one more year of being coached by Cael and Casey, and one more year of NLWC level training partners.
If a kid needs held back for academic or social reasons, that’s understandable. Sports playing any role in that decision is utter insanity. Like you said, the best wrestlers will be the one in the NCAA semis regardless of whether they were held back or not. All holding them back does is pad the high school stats, which are meaningless at the end of the day.
After you've wrestled Zain, everything else in life is easy.
Just talked to some M2 crew and Beau has been up in State College a lot the last two weeks. Wonder how Strittmatter likes that?
Good luck to Beau & Levi. Future Lions
I have a suspicion this thread is going to last 5, heck maybe 10 years
Maybe by then all of us (not singling anyone out) will know how to spell BO
Unless Dunke changes the other thread to “Why - BO BASSETT WRESTLING - is great” to fend off the challenge.
And I suppose you spelling Nazis also object to calling the coach Carl Sanderson?
Soelling Nazis vs Gramnar Nazis. Who you got?

Wrestler gets patriotic send-off as he leaves for world championships
Jul. 15—WINDBER — Bo Bassett got a hero's send-off on Glory Drive. The 14-year-old Bishop McCort Catholic student exited his house Wednesday morning to find about 80 supporters lining his driveway, with many waving American flags, wearing "We Bo-lieve" T-shirts and chanting "Let's go Bo!"...
